If you’re looking for a quick read, just a few hours, full of fun, mayhem, and vomit, Bad Taste in Boys by Carrie Harris is definitely the way to go. We have it available in both book and ebook formats. I read it in one sitting over Thanksgiving weekend, and trust me, it was the highlight of Black Friday for me!

Books that are AMAZINGLY awesome (and you should read RIGHT NOW):
Anna Dressed in Blood – Miss Diane says it’s sufficiently creepy.
The Boyfriend List: (15 Guys, 11 Shrink Appointments, 4 Ceramic Frogs, and Me, Ruby Oliver) – the start of Roo’s story. Bring on the neuroticism, bring on the heartbreak, bring on the kisses and not-kisses and a houseboat.
Daughter of Smoke & Bone – once upon a time, and angel and a devil fell in love. It did NOT end well.
Daughters of Eve, Down a Dark Hall, Locked in Time, Stranger with My Face, Summer of Fear – the quintessential Lois Duncan novels, re-released! These books are full of thrills, chills, and will scare the pants off you.
Glow – What if you’re expected to populate New Earth?
Totally Joe – Loved The Misfits? Find out more of Joe’s story, and what else is going on with the Gang of Five.
The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer -Miss Kate read this … and was up until 3 a.m. finishing it. It’s dark, it’s creepy, and has more twists and turns than the best Gothic novel you’ve ever read.
Wildwood – do you love the Decemberists? Do you love fairytales similar to The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, or A Wrinkle of Time, or dare we say, Harry Potter? Written by Colin Meloy (lead singer of the Decemberists) and illustrated by Carson Ellis (illustrator for the Decemberists AND The Mysterious Benedict Society…) … this awesome adventure starts when Prue’s baby brother is taken away by a murder of crows. What happens next? You’ll have to read to find out.
I heartily, heartily recommend Rampant by Diana Peterfreund. Here unicorns are not docile, happy-go-lucky My Little Pony creatures, they are vicious, man-killing beasties. Loved it!
Of these titles, I can already recommend… Brave New World, Die for Me, The Extraordinary Secrets of April, May & June, Forever, The Gathering, Night, and texas gothic.
It’s almost the end of the school year, and to celebrate the balmy days, late nights, and almost-on-vacation-dreams, Teen Services presents the newest additions to the Young Adult section.

April showers bring May flowers …. and books. Yeah, doesn’t flow off the tongue as easily, but these books should keep you busy. Also, keep those book reviews coming in. They absolutely rock.
Also, check out the ever-changing display of YA titles on the Lower Level. Today? Sports-themed books. Next week, who knows?

If you’re desperate to earn an extra four hours of service, here are our newest titles that can sate your need:
I can already recommend a few books: Teen Cyberbullying Investigated: where do your rights end and consequences begin? by Judge Tom Jacobs. I read it earlier this week, and if you need information on various court cases, computer crimes, and on what has happened to several victims and perpetrators of cyberbullying – this book is a great print resource.
Paranormalcy by Kiersten White stars sixteen-year old Evie, who just wants to be a normal human being: normal friends, prom, lockers, curfew. This just doesn’t mesh with her life: a bagger-and-tagger for the International Paranormal Containment Agency. Things go from business-as-usual to really weird when something starts killing off paranormals. Can Evie stop the threat in time? Will she ever see a real-live locker? Read and find out.
