Book selection for March

Drum roll please.......... Need by Carrie Jones

Description: Now fans of Stephenie Meyer and Melissa Marr have a new author to devour . . .Zara collects phobias the way other high school girls collect lipsticks. Little wonder, since life’s been pretty rough so far. Her father left, her stepfather just died, and her mother’s pretty much checked out. Now Zara’s living with her grandmother in sleepy, cold Maine so that she stays “safe.” Zara doesn’t think she’s in danger; she thinks her mother can’t deal. Wrong. Turns out that guy she sees everywhere, the one leaving trails of gold glitter, isn’t a figment of her imagination. He’s a pixie—and not the cute, lovable kind with wings. He’s the kind who has dreadful, uncontrollable needs. And he’s trailing Zara.With suspense, romance, and paranormal themes, this exciting breakout novel has all the elements to keep teens rapidly turning the pages.


I'm not afraid to say that this is a "young adult" book. I'm sure that the name Stephenie Meyer was noticed. This book is being compared to Twilight. It is being offered as the next book for the starving fans that now have nothing to read. (how many times can you really read the same books over and over again) I am hoping that more than a few of us have read the Twilight books. It will be very interesting to compare and discuss the two. I am also hoping that this selection will stand out on its' own.
Happy Reading!
