So this week I got...


Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

(Amazon / Goodreads)

Anna is looking forward to her senior year in Atlanta, where she has a great job, a loyal best friend, and a crush on the verge of becoming more. Which is why she is less than thrilled about being shipped off to boarding school in Paris—until she meets Étienne St. Claire: perfect, Parisian (and English and American, which makes for a swoon-worthy accent), and utterly irresistible. The only problem is that he's taken, and Anna might be, too, if anything comes of her almost-relationship back home.

The plot sounds pretty average to me, but I've heard so, so much about Anna and the French Kiss that I'm excited to finally read it!

Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta
(Amazon / Goodreads)

At age eleven, Taylor Markham was abandoned by her mother. At fourteen, she ran away from boarding school, only to be tracked down and brought back by a mysterious stranger. Now seventeen, Taylor's the reluctant leader of her school's underground community, whose annual territory war with the Townies and visiting Cadets has just begun. This year, though, the Cadets are led by Jonah Griggs, and Taylor can't avoid his intense gaze for long. To make matters worse, Hannah, the one adult Taylor trusts, has disappeared. But if Taylor can piece together the clues Hannah left behind, the truth she uncovers might not just settle her past, but also change her future.

I've heard Jellicoe Road is amazing - it's crazy that I haven't read this yet.

Between Here and Forever by Elizabeth Scott

(Amazon / Goodreads)

Abby acepted that she can’t measure up to her beautiful, magnetic sister Tess a long time ago, and knows exactly what she is: Second best. Invisible.
Until the accident. Now Tess is in a coma, and Abby’s life is on hold. It may have been hard living with Tess, but it's nothing compared to living without her. She's got a plan to bring Tess back though, involving the gorgeous and mysterious Eli, but then Abby learns something about Tess, something that was always there, but that she’d never seen. Abby is about to find out that truth isn't always what you think it is, and that life holds more than she ever thought it could...

I was so happy to have won this in a giveaway on Elizabeth Scott's site. I love Elizabeth Scott, and this one sounds amazing (I read the first few chapters in the back of another one of her books and loved it.) My only problem is that this is hardcover, and all my other Elizabeth Scott books are paperback... I'm going to need to get over that. Anyways, I'm excited to read this one!
