Books I'm Reading This Week...

I have just finished As Simple As Snow (Gregory Galloway), upon recommendation from Lauren J. - it was terrific. It tracks the relationship between a boy and a very mysterious girl, Anna, whose hobby is to write obituaries for all the people in her town. When she mysteriously disappears, clues pile up and leave the boy - and the town - wondering what happened.

Began reading Project 17 (Laurie Faria Stolarz) last night, couldn't put it down. It's about a teenage filmmaker wannabe who enlists a strange crew of high school classmates to star in his reality short film - to be created over the course of one night at a local mental hospital that's set to shut down soon.

I also happened upon a series that would appeal to boys who like horror/mystery called Darkside (Becker).

Also picked up Wintergirls (Laurie Halse Anderson) and will tackle that next. It examines teen anorexia.
