From Goodreads: Love is awkward, Amelia should know.
From the moment she sets eyes on Chris, she is a goner. Lost. Sunk. Head over heels infatuated with him. It's problematic, since Chris, 21, is a sophisticated university student, while Amelia, is 15.
Amelia isn't stupid. She knows it's not gonna happen. So she plays it cool around Chris—at least, as cool as she can. Working checkout together at the local supermarket, they strike up a friendship: swapping life stories, bantering about everything from classic books to B movies, and cataloging the many injustices of growing up. As time goes on, Amelia's crush doesn't seem so one-sided anymore. But if Chris likes her back, what then? Can two people in such different places in life really be together?

Princess of the Silver Woods (Twelve Dancing Princesses #3) by Jessica Day George
From Goodreads: When Petunia, the youngest of King Gregor's twelve dancing
daughters, is invited to visit an elderly friend in the neighboring country of
Westfalin, she welcomes the change of scenery. But in order to reach Westfalin,
Petunia must pass through a forest where strange two-legged wolves are rumored
to exist. Wolves intent on redistributing the wealth of the noble citizens who
have entered their territory. But the bandit-wolves prove more rakishly
handsome than truly dangerous, and it's not until Petunia reaches her
destination that she realizes the kindly grandmother she has been summoned to
visit is really an enemy bent on restoring an age-old curse.
Falling Kingdoms (Falling Kingdoms #1) by Morgan Rhodes
From Goodreads: In a land where magic has been forgotten but peace has
reigned for centuries, a deadly unrest is simmering. Three kingdoms grapple for
power—brutally transforming their subjects’ lives in the process. Amidst
betrayals, bargains, and battles, four young people find their fates forever
intertwined:
Cleo: A princess raised in luxury must embark on a rough and treacherous journey into enemy territory in search of a magic long thought extinct.
Cleo: A princess raised in luxury must embark on a rough and treacherous journey into enemy territory in search of a magic long thought extinct.
Jonas: Enraged at injustice, a rebel lashes out against the forces of oppression that have kept his country impoverished—and finds himself the leader of a people’s revolution centuries in the making.
Lucia: A girl adopted at birth into a royal family discovers the truth about her past—and the supernatural legacy she is destined to wield.
Magnus: Bred for aggression and trained to conquer, a firstborn son begins to realize that the heart can be more lethal than the sword...
The only outcome that’s certain is that kingdoms will fall. Who will emerge triumphant when all they know has collapsed?
Enders (Starters and Enders #2) by Lissa Price
From Goodreads: With the Prime Destinations body bank destroyed, Callie no
longer has to rent herself out to creepy Enders. But Enders can still get
inside her mind and make her do things she doesn't want to do. Like hurt
someone she loves. Having the chip removed could save Callie's life - but it
could also silence the voice in her head that might belong to her father.
Callie has flashes of her ex-renter Helena's memories, too ...and the Old Man
is back, filling her with fear. Who is real and who is masquerading in a teen
body?
I like how you list books. It is awesome to have a resource like this.
ReplyDeleteBut what about reviews?
If you have the time, it would mean a lot to me if you would review my first book, Faetal. It's going be free on 12/16/12 on Amazon so you can grab it. :)
Have a lovely day!
