This was an interesting week. I got a book that I have long been anticipating and two others that I just found out about. I also got a book that is going directly to the HS because I thought my student-athletes would be interested in it.
Crave by Melinda Metz was a book that snuck under my radar. I hadn't heard much about it until lately. I thought both the cover and the blurb were fascinating.
The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff is a 2010 YA Debut Author book. This one is one that I have wanted since I first heard about it. Though I will have to admit that I don't like this cover very much. I saw a cover on someone's blog that I really preferred but I don't know if this was for the UK edition or someone's create-a-cover entry.
Playing Time: What Kids Really Think About Kids' Sports by Quinn Cotter is by a teenager who is also a student-athlete. I read about this one in Shelf Awareness and thought that I would have an audience for this book in my HS Media Center. I'm passing it along right away because I have never been a student-athlete and don't usually read nonfiction.
The final book that landed in my mailbox was Awakened by Ednah Walters. I have seen some good reviews, love the cover, and added it to my never ending TBR stack.
