Tom approached me slowly and met me under the light on the stone walkway. He leaned over me so closely, my neck craned to see his face. His expression was one of confusion as he studied my own. “How can you be this extraordinary, January MacLochlainn?” He leaned closer, a look of pure frustration and anger lit his eyes and pressed his lips. “And why couldn’t I have met you before I realized I didn’t want anyone...ever?”........Life for Thomas and January will never be the same again...whether they like it or not.

This is a love story. Boy meets girl and girl falls for boy - that much is true. But when Sienna meets Nick it's not the way it happens in love stories. It's because of a squirrel on water skis...She sees Nick's dangerous brown eyes and thinks,
Don't. Fall. Into. Them.
Who will be there to catch Siena when she falls? She is so fragile. She has so many secrets, and he is not that serious.
June 5, 2012 by HarperTeen
For too long, Kitsy has had to satisfy her dreams of becoming a real artist by giving her friends makeovers before prom. So when her best friend Corrinne's family offers to sponsor her for a summer art course in New York City, Kitsy bids a temporary good-bye to Texas to say hello to the West Village. Between navigating the subway and the New Yorkers—namely, the Art Boy who has a nice trick of getting under her skin—Kitsy knows that this summer is going to be about a lot more than figure drawing.
Holy mother of books!
Lets talk about Catherine.......Im really looking forward to reading that one, I thought Lindner's modern day Jane was a great contemporary piece of Jane Eyre, so Im excited to see what she does with Wuthering Heights. Im also really excited to check out Thomas & January, I've been hearing great things about Fisher Ameile...and just bought her first book Callum & Harper, for sure an author on my must read list. With these great choices, which one looks good to you?
