Science Fiction

Sarah Williams recommends classic science fiction for young adults on io9.com. Let me know if there is something here you want to read that we do not have. We have most of it, I think.

Bogdan also recommends The Hunger Games.

Impossible

Nancy Werlin is a new author to me. Previous to this book I had never even heard of her. However, I must say that I do like this book very much. If you are into fantasy/romances, then I think you would like it too. This book is inspired by the ballad “Scarborough Fair”.

The women of Lucy Scarborough’s family have been cursed through the generations to complete three impossible tasks, or they will turn crazy upon their first child’s birth. Lucy is seventeen when she discovers this, but for the first time she won’t be the only one fighting the curse. She has her foster parents, and, even more important, the boy next door, Zach.

The Secret Life of Prince Charming

Quinn knows a lot about love. She lives with her mom, aunt, and grandma -- all tried and true love gurus who have withstood many storms caused by love gone wrong. Magnetically stuck to their fridge is the comprehensive master list of things to watch out for -- signals that identify a guy who will only bring hurt.

Formally educated and ready to stay away from love for good, Quinn decides to rectify some bad love tales on her own. Beginning a quest to right her father's womanly wrongs against more women than just her mother, Quinn and her sisters set out to find the truth behind the man they all call Dad. What made the supreme bad boy get the girl every time? Each woman has a different story containing more hints for Quinn to watch out for as she learns the worst about her dad while still trying to weed out the best.

A story about not just family, but love, too, The Secret Life of Prince Charming shows that even a girl so down on love can still find a Prince Charming of her own. (review from ReaderGirlz)
