David Levithan (Marly's Ghost)

A haunting tale of love and loss and living. Filled with echos of Dickens and lovely turns of phrase. Perfect for Valentine’s Day.

Heidi M. Durrow (The Girl Who Fell From the Sky)

The 2012 Everybody Reads selection and a book that everyone should read.

Denise Mina (The End of the Wasp Season)

Not a "Whodunit," but a "Whydunit." A haunting look at humanity.

Sara Zarr (Story of a Girl)

A story that reminds us that we don't have to be defined by who we've been or what we've done.

John Green (The Fault in Our Stars)

I can honestly say, without the slightest reservation, there is no fault in this book.

Laini Taylor (Lips Touch: Three Times)

If I could kiss these beautiful words with their lovely ways, I would.

John Green (Looking for Alaska)

Honest. Brilliant. Speech defying.

Daniel Handler and Maira Kaiman (Why We Broke Up)

This book is so wise, honest, and beautiful. You wouldn't dream of breaking up with it.

Jennifer E. Smith (The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight)

I was infatuated from the first pages and fell head over heals by the last page. This book is full of surprising depths and a variety of heartaches.

Kathryn Otoshi (One)

This is one absolutely beautiful children's picture book.

Lauren Myracle (Shine)

A book that absolutely shines. It will break your heart and then glue it back together again with hope.
