Most of these are older, but if you haven't read them yet, I'd recommend them to you. Here are my mini reviews for each.
PIVOT POINT by Kasie West

This book blew my mind just a little bit. It was so awesome and I couldn't wait to read it every night. I highly recommend this to any fan of YA literature. It has everything, from love to angst to danger and one great, big impossible choice. (I know, it's not much of a review, but there aren't really words to describe how much I enjoyed watching the two alternate realities play out and how well they were woven together.)

THE RAVEN BOYS by Maggie Steifvater
I really enjoyed this story. It was hard for me to put down at night and go to sleep. I kept wanting to come back and see what would happen with the Raven Boys, Blue and their quest. The uniqueness and intrigue of the story really resonated with me. What I didn't like was how little was tied up at the end. I get that it's a series, but we get introduced at the very end to an entirely new plot line without any real resolution to biggest plot in this story. I docked it a star because of this. But, of course, I pre-ordered the next book, so I wasn't put off enough that I didn't still want to know what happened. Plus, Maggie's writing is beautiful. I love how she turns a phrase, as it were.
So, those are my short thoughts on each of these enjoyable books. What have you read and loved lately?

I was surprised with how much I enjoyed Pivot Point when I firs read it. I agree, it was fun, exciting and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I am pretty excited about the sequel. I haven't been a huge fan of Maggie's writing, but I absolutely loved The Raven Boys. I think she gets better with every book she writes. This series is so unique and different. I am glad you enjoyed it.
