Paper Covers Rock by
Jenny Hubbard

Publication Date: June 14th 2011, Delacorte Books for Young Readers
Genre: Contemporary Young adult

At the beginning of his junior year at a boys' boarding school, 16-year-old Alex is devastated when he fails to save a drowning friend. When questioned, Alex and his friend Glenn, who was also at the river, begin weaving their web of lies. Plagued by guilt, Alex takes refuge in the library, telling his tale in a journal he hides behind Moby-Dick. Caught in the web with Alex and Glenn is their English teacher, Miss Dovecott, fresh out of Princeton, who suspects there's more to what happened at the river when she perceives guilt in Alex's writing for class. She also sees poetic talent in Alex, which she encourages. As Alex responds to her attention, he discovers his true voice, one that goes against the boarding school bravado that Glenn embraces. When Glenn becomes convinced that Miss Dovecott is out to get them, Alex must choose between them.
 I so love contemporary. A death, a boarding school and conspiracy count me in plus a male protagonist. He girls aint he cute.lol


Kiss Crush Collide by
Christina Meredith

Publication Date: December 27th 2011 , Greenwillow Books
Genre: Contemporary Young adult

Leah has the life most high school girls would kill for—popularity, glowing grades, a rich, athletic boyfriend. So why does she feel like she can’t breathe? And why can’t she stop thinking about the boy from the country club? The one who isn’t her boyfriend, the one that her mother would never, ever approve of, the one that her perfect older sisters would never, ever look at twice. The one who is always looking back at her. Irresistible attraction, smoldering glances, the bad boy and the good girl—Kiss Crush Collide has everything that a steamy forbidden romance should, and then some.

With graceful and honest writing and an electric love story, this is a book about growing into your own skin. For fans of Perfect Chemistry, Sarah Dessen, and John Green
This cover has the same hotness Perfect Chemistry has, likey very much. L00KS VERY "'Cool' lol. hope i read these books soon.

So, that's what's on my  wishlists this week -
