1)The Cure for Dreaming by Cat Winters

But the hypnotist, an intriguing young man named Henri Reverie, gives her a terrible gift instead: she’s able to...(more)

(My comment: I don't usually read YA historical fiction {other than Eleanor & Park}, but I  might be able to make an exception for this book. I already ordered it on Amazon.com. Wish me luck)


2) Oh Yeah, Audrey! by Tucker Shaw

(My comment: I don't know about this one, but I do like the cover.)


3) Trust Me, I'm Lying by Mary Elizabeth Summer

Fans of Ally Carter, especially her Heist Society readers, will love this teen mystery/thriller with sarcastic wit, a hint of romance, and Ocean’s Eleven–inspired action.

(My comment: This one seem really interesting. I loved Ally Carter's Heist Society, so I am sure I will love this book too. I am placing an order for it right now!)

(My comment: I don't want to judge this book before I read it. It seems really interesting. I guess it is just one of those book were you have to wait and see. )

This emotional, hilarious, devastating, and ultimately triumphant YA debut, based on actual events, recounts one girl’s rejection of her high school’s hierarchy—and her discovery of her true self in the face of tragedy.

(My comment: This book seems really interesting. I would buy it, but I may have went over my book budget ( I mean it was only $120 dollars more), so due to that I can not buy this book...for now that is)
