Book I Finished: Sean Griswold's Head, by Lindsey Leavitt.
"According to her guidance counselor, fifteen-year-old Payton Gritas needs a focus object-an item to concentrate her emotions on. It's supposed to be something inanimate, but Payton decides to use the thing she stares at during class: Sean Griswold's head. They've been linked since third grade (Griswold-Gritas-it's an alphabetical order thing), but she's never really known him.
The focus object is intended to help Payton deal with her father's newly diagnosed multiple sclerosis. And it's working. With the help of her boy-crazy best friend Jac, Payton starts stalking-er, focusing on-Sean Griswold . . . all of him! He's cute, he shares her Seinfeld obsession (nobody else gets it!) and he may have a secret or two of his own."
-Barnes and Noble.
Very cute and short romance story that doesn't involve werewolves, or vampires! A review will be posted this either today or tomorrow, so look forward to that!:D
Book I Started: Troy High, by Shana Norris.
"Homer’s Iliad, the classic tale of love and revenge, is shrewdly retold for teens in Troy High.
Narrated by Cassie, a shy outsider at Troy High, the story follows the Trojans and Spartans as they declare war on the football field. After the beautiful Elena—who used to be the captain of the Spartan cheerleaders—transfers to Troy High and falls madly in love with Cassie’s brother Perry, the Spartans vow that the annual homecoming game will never be forgotten. Off the football field, an escalating prank war fuels tensions between the schools.
The stakes are raised when Cassie is forced to choose between the boy she loves (a Spartan) and loyalty to her family and school. Troy High will seduce readers with its cast of mythic proportions."
-Barnes and Noble.
I'm actually just about to start reading this, but the cover and the summary both seem cute and interesting. Very excited!:D
I love retellings so Troy High sounds great! And definitely liking the look of SG's head. Thanks for an awesome feature, will try and do my own WTB tomorrow.
