Book Obsessions
Ever had a book that you just can't get enough of...that you read and read and then immediately want another just like it? Well, I've got one I'm reading now that I can't put down. I wasn't really into the whole paranormal romance thing when it started. I've never read the Twilight books. But I decided to try these books by Maggie Stiefvater and they're about a girl who falls in love with a boy who's a werewolf. The first one is Shiver, I'm on Linger now, and I'm getting ready to put the third one, Forever on hold. So, my question to all of you is: What's your book obsession? What book did you hate to end? Share what you love and maybe someone else's comment will help you find a new book obsession.

New Books!
I just had a pile of new books come across my desk and I thought I might share some of my top picks with you!
The Extraordinary Secrets of April, May, and June by Robin Benway
Sisters April, May, and June suddenly develop special powers when they move to a new town. One can see the future, another can disappear into thin air, and the last can read minds. These powers are going to make high school a lot more interesting, but what if they're really to use for a greater good?
Flash by Michael Cadnum
This book begins when a bank robbery goes horribly wrong for a pair of brothers. Their bungled heist is overheard by a blind neighbor named Terrence, who tells his girlfriend, Nina, and her brother, Carraway. When Carraway disappears, Nina is afraid of what might happen next.
The Unknowns by Benedict Carey
Folsom Adjacent is a nothing kind of place. Really it's just a bunch of trailers next to the power plant, then people suddenly start disapearing. Lady Di Smith and Tom Jones are just two kids from Folsom Adjacent until they started playing with straws...
Shutout by Brendan Halpin
Amanda and Lena have been BFFs and soccer stars for forever. Now, in the 9th grade Lena makes the varsity team and Amanda doesn't. This one little thing changes everything between them. Is Amanda going to able to keep from losing her best friend forever and survive her first year of high school at the same time?
Three Black Swans by Caroline B. Cooney
Missy and Claire are cousins and best friends who finish each other's sentences and look exactly alike. They've always had an eerie connection to each other; but when they post a video on YouTube for a project at school, they aren't quite expecting how eerie their lives are about to become.
