The characters in Love Fortunes and Other Disasters are incredibly likeable and such fun to have around you. I felt like they were good friends of mine that I couldn't stop rooting for and had my fingers crossed things would work out for them. With a great writing style, this debut novel is definitely...

D.U.F.F. by Kody Keplinger
When D.U.F.F. first came out, I had been really excited to see it anmd regret saying it took until now to actually read it. I remember so many books being out when I was a younger teen on serious issues girls were truly facing in day to day life, but they'd seemed to have disappeared from the main stream....

The Boy Next Door by Katie Van Ark
WARNING: In my opinion as a Children's/Teen Lead bookseller I find this book inappropriate for teens under the age of 17 due to sexual content. Reader be warned.
The Boy Next Door isn't my typical kind of read but it'll be an easy favorite for fans of The Boy Who Sneaks in my Bedroom Window by Kristy...

Velvet by Temple West
Temple West is a brand new author who has busted onto the scene starting right off with a series. A vampire romance series none the less, brave lass in my book. Since I worked with Sandy Hall for an event at my store, I have been keeping my eyes on Swoon Reads knowing some good things were going to...
