Hey Bibliophiles! This week, instead of a review, I have a new book spotlight for you to check out. I haven't read Thirst either and I would love to hear what y'all think of it if you get a chance! Without further ado: 240+ Pages WITH BEAUTIFUL PHOTOGRAPHS ~ Kira Sutherland ~ After a near fatal accident (and getting cheated on by her 'boyfriend'), and beating up the lead cheerleader (with whom the boyfriend cheated...), and being labeled as having 'issues' in her school because she, uhm, sees ghosts , Kira is left with two choices: 1.

Tell Me Three Things is a YA contemporary novel by debut author Julie Buxbaum. Jessie’s life has been turned upside down – and she was not consulted. Being moved from her Chicago home to a prep school in Los Angeles to begin her junior year of high school is traumatizing enough without also having to try to become comfortable living with her new earnest stepmom and standoffish stepbrother. How her dad could have done this to her, sprung this on her, without any notice… It is beyond her. To be saddled with people she doesn’t even know when it’s been barely two years since her mother’s death is not helping her relationship with her dad. Without her best friend and without any frame of reference in Los Angeles, Jessie feels totally alone. That is, until she receives an email from someone calling themselves Somebody/Nobody (SN for short), providing an offer to help her navigate her new surroundings. It’s weird but intriguing. And in a decision based on need rather than anything ...
