Happy Summer!

Summer Reading Logs will be available beginning Monday, June 6th!
Here are some new books guaranteed to get your summer off to a sizzling start:
Divergent by Veronica Roth
If you loved the Hunger Games, check out Veronica Roth's dystopian thriller
 Divergent (YF ROTH, NEW). The action to romance ratio is practically perfect,
and although the story is a bit slow to start, the ending will knock your sock off!
Rosebush by Michelle Jaffe
For those of you who relish the creepy mystery of the Pretty Little Liars
series, pick up Rosebush by Michele Jaffe (YF JAFFE, NEW). 
Jane wake up in the hospital after a crazy night of partying only to find out
that she was the victim of a hit and run.  Jane is pretty and popular--the kind
of girl who has it all....could one of her friends really be trying to kill her?
Geek Fantasy Novel by E. Archer
If you like your fantasy novels with a healthy side of humor, then
take a look at Geek Fantasy Novel by E. Archer (YF ARCHER, NEW).
 Ralph's summer visit to his relatives promises to be boring,
but after a visit from Aunt Chessie, it turns into a weird (and hilarious)
quest that leaves no fantasy trope untouched.
