My favorite I've read in the last month is Revelations by Kate Brian. I didn't think I would like mysteries, but I'm hooked on this series.

I am loving
in the Gone series and it is soooo good, always a little sickening (you have to read it) but you can't stop turning the pages.
I will never get Sammy and Juliana in Hollywood, by Benjamin Alire Saenz, out of my head. It's a fantastic YA(or any other type of!) read. Great characters, setting (poor barrio in NM in 1969--kids getting drafted into the Vietnam War, students going on strike against dress codes, folks ODing because they were so naive about the power of drugs like heroin), and dilemma--coming of age, when all around you people are dying. That said, there was great humor in the dialogue, which is a real primer in how to swear in Spanish!
Just recently read the book Graceling by Kristin Cashore. It was a fabulous book, a little slow in the beginning but it is my favorite book I've read this month. :)
Just finished Divergent and it was absolutely amazing! I will be thinking about this one for a while!!
I read "Bumped" by Megan McCafferty, and really enjoyed it. Not a hard read, but it has an interesting premise and I am looking forward to book two coming out next year (I hope).

I started reading Hate List by Jennifer Brownlast night after dinner and found myself so captivated by this story that I couldn't put it down, so I stayed up way too late to finish it, and was glad I did!
The Book Thief is amazing and everybody (I do mean everybody) should go read it. You'll thank me for it. :)

I really enjoyed reading 'Finding sky', and read it in one day. Really page turning and made me *sigh*
Jennifer wrote: "Agreed on Twisted by Anderson. You feel so bad for the main character knowing that he is a good guy caught in a bad situation. "I've got this on my 'to read' pile, is it good?
I recommend Twisted to every teen who comes into my library wanting a realistic book. One event can have such an impact on your life. I loved this book.And the main character's best friend is named Yoda!
I enjoyed
because Eddie Corazon's voice was funny, serious, and redemptive. Eddie falls in love with Lupe and changes his life from juvenile delinquent to reader, writer, poet, to someone who matters in this world. I especially enjoyed his poem, Veinte-Veinte Vision at the end of the book.
I liked Need by Carrie Jones way more then I expected to! I'm also reading Silver Phoenix: Beyond the Kingdom of Xia right now and love it.I also read Anne of Green Gables Treasury and would recommend it to all Green Gables and Lucy Maud Montgomery fans! It is seriously so amazing.
My favorite this month so far
. I love dogs and this author, Levin and his family save a "bait dog" OMG!
