For review:
Finding Sky - Joss Stirling
What drew me to this one was definitely the fact that the heroine has a really complex sounding past. I think she'll make a real change from the everygirl we're used to seeing in paranormal YA. Plus, she's a Brit chick in the US, which should be interesting too. Thanks to Liz for this one.
Elliot Allagash - Simon Rich
When I first saw the press release for this one, I wasn't sure if it was my kind of thing. But then I read the first few pages, and if the rest of the book is as brilliantly witty, I'm going to love it. Thanks to Profile / Serpent's Tail for this one.
The Badness of Ballydog - Garrett Carr
This is another book that sounds different to what I've been reading lately, but it's the first in a series and I'm kind of intrigued. Also, when I was little I had an imaginary friend called Garrett, so the author's name has kind of intrigued me too. Thank you to the author for this one.
Bought:
A Love Story Starring My Dead Best Friend - Emily Horner
LGBT romance with a road trip? Sounds unmissable. I've read some wonderful reviews of this one, and I just know it'll be WIN.

Good for you for giving Elliot Allagash another try although the description didn't grab you. Writers point out that the blurbs and the copy at the back of the book are the only texts not written by them, but always the first texts readers check to figure out whether they'd like to read a book or not. So I always try to read the first few pages, too. =)
And you're right that a British heroine in a US setting is unusual. (I can think of several American girls in both books and movies who have stories set in the UK, but very few the other way around.) I'll probably check Finding Sky out, too.
I love the look of A Love Story Starring My Dead Best Friend - looking forward to your review:) Hope you enjoy:)
All of these looks amazing! I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for Finding Sky!
Another person with Finding Sky :D Awesome.
I didnt realise A Love Story Starring My Dead Best Friend was LGBT I would love to read that :D I think it is on my wishlist but will double check:D Happy reading
I quite like the look of Finding Sky - I may have to invest in a copy asap. Really looking forward to your thoughts on A Love Story... it sounds fantastic.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you think of all of these, especially A Love Story Starring My Dead Best Friend. I've heard mixed reviews so far, though I must admit I'm still intrigued.
I'm also looking forward to Finding Sky. Like you, I like that the character is a Brit in American territory - I'm interested to see if the author will pull that off convincingly.
As always, hope you enjoy, and happy reading!
Great books! Like the sound of Finding Sky, so will keep an eye out for your review. Enjoy!
