What are you currently reading?
by Margaret Peterson Haddix~ So far,it's really good. Intriguing.
by Mike Mullin~ This book comes out in October, and you should definitely run right out and buy it. Superb!
by Sara Shepard~ I'm kind of embarassed to admit that I'm reading this because this isn't my thing, but the first book was such a cliffhanger, I had to find out what happens next...What did you recently finish reading?
by Stephanie Perkins~ I LOVED this book! There is nothing to not like about it. Perfect in every way! I can't wait for Lola and the Boy Next Door
.
by Jackson Pearce~ I love fairy tale re-tellings,and Jackson Pearce knowshow to write them. Awesomely modern, grown-up take on Little Red Riding Hood.
by Jackson Pearce~ The companion to Sisters Red. Loosely related re-telling of Hansel and Gretel. Even better than the first book. Don't expect to put it down...
by Beth Revis~ Even if you've read this, you have to give the audio a shot. It's so well done, and it really brings this book to life.What do you think you'll read next?
by Alyson Noel~ I've been waiting on this book's release, and I just received a review copy of the audio (yay me!). When I'm done, I'm going to do a giveaway, so stay tuned.
by Pittacus Lore~ Got this last week. Can't wait to read it! I have very high hopes!
by Ellen Levine~ I've had this for awhile and have been wanting to read it. It releases in September and I should probably get it reviewed. It looks really good, if not sad.
The Always War
by Margaret Peterson Haddix
In a war-torn future United States, fifteen-year-old Tessa, her childhood friend Gideon, now a traumatized military hero, and Dek, a streetwise orphan, enter enemy territory and discover the shocking truth about a war that began more than seventy-five years earlier.

I'm a big fan of Margaret Peterson Haddix. Her Shadow Children
series (Among the Hidden
, Among the Brave
, etc.) is awesome; one of the first true dystopias written for kids. I've also enjoyed her "girly" novels, Just Ella
and Palace of Mirrors
. I'm reading her other huge series, The Missing (Found, Sent
, etc.), now and it's equally great. I don't know if this is the start to a new series, or a stand alone, but I'm excited!
