New Books Out Week of 2/9

These are the books I'm obsessing over this week:


By: Andrew Smith
I have absolutely no idea how to describe this one, but I liked Winger, and it sounds incredibly strange and awesome at the same time!


(Pivot Point #2)
By: Kasie West
Picks up where Pivot Point leaves off with both Addie AND Laila's POVs.  Addie is not exactly happy with how her choices have turned out and jumps at a chance to spend winter break in the Norm world.  There she meets people (like Trevor) who seem familiar to her, but being the way her power works, she can't quite remember them.  She also sees a change in her power, she's able to manipulate time, but with a price.


By: Kelly Oram
When Avery gets her heart broken, she decides to use it for what she does best: Science.  The State Science Fair is coming up, she's using her broken heart as the topic of her experiment... and find a cure.  But with her science partner being her ex, she decides to use his older brother as her "outside objective observer".  With Grayson's bad grades and wild reputation, Avery is about to get more than she bargained for.


(Fates #1)
By: Lanie Bross
A Mythology Romance about Fates.  Corinthe has been exiled from Pyralis to the human world.  Her job there is to guide people to their fates, even if it means death.  Now she's on her final job: Kill Lucas Kaller.  The problem is Corinthe has been on Earth long enough to develop some human feelings.  Like love.  And suddenly killing Lucas so she can go home isn't as easy as she would have expected.


By: Lynne Ewing
Blaise does not live in a good neighborhood.  She lives with her grandmother and is surrounded by gangs, poverty, drugs, and addiction.  She decides the best way for her to make her situation better is to actually join one of these gangs.  She's immediately faced with a brutal initiation and is soon being used as bait in a dangerous game with a rival gang.


By: Kate Scott

(Dark Passages #1)
By: Ilsa J. Bick
A Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Thriller that is supposed to be a Martrix meets Inception.  The rest of the synopsis gets kind of confusing and from the reviews I've read, the book actually might be pretty confusing.


By: J.C. Carlson

  1. The Avery Shaw Experiment, Counting to D, and Solving for Ex are all on my to-read list! They all seem so geeky-cute, and I adore lighthearted reads. Feel better soon, Michelle! The only good thing about getting sick is having more reading time, haha.
