When the picture tells the story…
Senior year is almost over, and Jamie Peterson has a big problem. Not college—that’s all set. Not prom—he’ll find a date somehow. No, it’s the worst problem of all: he’s fallen for his best friend.
As much as Jamie tries to keep it under wraps, everyone seems to know where his affections lie, and the giggling girls in art class are determined to help Jamie get together with Mason. But Jamie isn’t sure if that’s what he wants—because as much as Jamie would like to come clean to Mason, what if the truth ruins everything? What if there are no more road trips, taco dinners, or movie nights? Does he dare risk a childhood friendship for romance?
This book is about what happens when a picture reveals what we can’t say, when art is truer than life, and how falling in love is easy, except when it’s not. Fan Art explores the joys and pains of friendship, of pressing boundaries, and how facing our worst fears can sometimes lead us to what we want most.

Raised without television, Sarah Tregay started writing her own middle grade novels after she had read all of the ones in the library. She later discovered YA books, but never did make it to the adult section. When she's not jotting down poems at stoplights, she can be found hanging out with her "little sister" from Big Brothers Big Sisters. Sarah lives in Eagle, Idaho with her husband, two Boston Terriers, and an appaloosa named Mr. Pots. Her next book, Fan Art, will be released in June.

I listen to a
lot of audio books, and from time to time I’ll read something on a Kindle.
While both are convenient ways to get immersed in a story, I miss seeing the
book itself. Because I am a graphic designer in my day job, I enjoy the little
details in a printed book, such as the typeface, an illustration, or a
beautiful chapter heading. Hardcover books are a treat because you can peek
under the jacket and see the art on the binding.
So, in case you
borrow a copy of Fan Art from your
library or read it on your iPad, here is the art under the cover:

DeJesus did an amazing job illustrating the graphic short story within Fan Art:

Published August 5th 2014
For centuries, her family has served the high Queens on both sides of the Atlantic but it is a well-known rule that mid-level witches stay away from high-level Queens. But when Katherine’s youngest cousin vanishes without a trace in the Atlanta court and no one wants to investigate, Katherine decides to step into the darkness on her own. She soon discovers that nothing, especially in the Atlanta High Queen’s court, is as it seems.
When she accidentally opens a rift in the search for her cousin, Richard LeCross, the Queen’s warlock, decides that Katherine is more trouble than she’s worth. He determines that this mortal, dangerously close to becoming a High Queen, needs to die. But killing Katherine is easier said than done. For a young woman who’s always believed in right versus wrong, she’s about to go head over heels into the dark side.

Review: Dolls
by Kiki Sullivan
Paperback, 384 pages
Published September 2nd 2014
by Balzer + Bray
ARC from Edelweiss
Goodreads |
Enter Peregrine Marceau, Chloe St. Pierre, and their group of rich, sexy friends known as the Dolls. From sipping champagne at lunch to hooking up with the hottest boys, Peregrine and Chloe have everything—including an explanation for what’s going on in Carrefour. And Eveny doesn’t trust them one bit.
But after murder strikes and Eveny discovers that everything she believes about herself, her family, and her life is a lie, she must turn to the Dolls for answers. Something’s wrong in paradise, and it’s up to Eveny, Chloe, and Peregrine to save Carrefour and make it right.
It just didn't feel right for someone like Eveny and her popular 'dolls' friends to be so powerful and rich out of the blue. Yup, I know the girls inherited their powers but still if only the girls use those powers to good then maybe I'll probably like them more. But in the end, this turned out to be a disappointing mix of spoilt Gossip Girls and Charmed which really turned me off.

The Young Elites (The Young Elites #1)
by Marie Lu
Kindle Edition, 336 pages
Expected publication: October 7th 2014
by Putnam Books for Young Readers
Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood fever. A decade ago, the deadly illness swept through her nation. Most of the infected perished, while many of the children who survived were left with strange markings. Adelina’s black hair turned silver, her lashes went pale, and now she has only a jagged scar where her left eye once was. Her cruel father believes she is a malfetto, an abomination, ruining their family’s good name and standing in the way of their fortune. But some of the fever’s survivors are rumored to possess more than just scars—they are believed to have mysterious and powerful gifts, and though their identities remain secret, they have come to be called the Young Elites.
Teren Santoro works for the king. As Leader of the Inquisition Axis, it is his job to seek out the Young Elites, to destroy them before they destroy the nation. He believes the Young Elites to be dangerous and vengeful, but it’s Teren who may possess the darkest secret of all.
Enzo Valenciano is a member of the Dagger Society. This secret sect of Young Elites seeks out others like them before the Inquisition Axis can. But when the Daggers find Adelina, they discover someone with powers like they’ve never seen. Adelina wants to believe Enzo is on her side, and that Teren is the true enemy. But the lives of these three will collide in unexpected ways, as each fights a very different and personal battle. But of one thing they are all certain: Adelina has abilities that shouldn’t belong in this world. A vengeful blackness in her heart. And a desire to destroy all who dare to cross her.
It is my turn to use. My turn to hurt.

Review: Kiss of Deception
(The Remnant Chronicles #1)
by Mary E. Pearson
Kindle Edition, 492 pages
Published July 15th 2014
by Henry Holt
Goodreads | Amazon| B & N | TBD
So I was a bit hesitant to read this at first because there's a not so subtle hint in the blurb that there's going to be a love triangle in the mix. But in the end, this book successfully captured my heart and actually make me cared for the characters. I mean..who am I kidding? I was rooting for Lia to end up with her prince from the get go. Although it is kind of ironic that she'll ended up falling for the very guy whom she mercilessly left hanging at the altar in the first place.
As a character, Lia was not hard to like. Although a little selfish and naive at times, her boldness and confidence is quite refreshing. I was just hoping that all the time while reading this that there's more background explaining about the gifts of a First Daughter and why the various kingdoms are fighting each other.
This could be a promising new series to look out for and if the parts where the girls go gallivanting as barmaids in the remote village could be trimmed a bit, I'm sure the book could turned up a whole lot better.
