Not necessarily new books, but ones I've read lately & loved:
- "The Geek Girl's Guide to Cheerleading" by Charity Tahmaseb & Darcy Vance - Midnighters series by Scott Westerfeld - "Girl Stays in the Picture" by Melissa de la Cruz - "My Big Nose & Other Natural Disasters" by Sydney Salter - "The Summer I Turned Pretty" by Jenny Han - "Same Difference" - Siobhan Vivian - "My Fair Godmother" by Janette Rallison
Ash (haven't read, but it defintely sounds like a must-read!) Another Faust (I need to read this one too!) I agree with Melissa on Liar (haven't read Looks) which I'm currently reading.
I really liked Ten Cents a Dance by Christine Fletcher, North of Beautiful by Christina Headley, Greater Gains by K.M. Peyton, Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler. Next week I am leading a discussion of Heaven to Betsy by Maud Hart Lovelace. Anyone in the Boston area is invited to come!
I am not a YA, but am a firm believer that excellent YA lit is enjoyable by old people as well. I highly recommend "Choke Creek" by Lauren Small. It is an excellently written novel about a teenage girl in Denver during the Vietnam war and a tale about how the past influences the present.
