here's a look at two books i have sitting in my To Be Read pile. i don't necessarily own these books, but they are books i intend to get around to reading soon!
by Kristen Chandler
Viking Juvenile, 2010
KJ Carson lives an outdoor lover’s dream. The only daughter of a fishing and wildlife guide, KJ can hold her own on the water or in the mountains near her hometown outside Yellowstone National Park. But when she meets the shaggy-haired, intensely appealing Virgil, KJ loses all self-possession. And she’s not sure if it’s a good thing or a bad thing that they’re assigned to work together on a school newspaper article about the famous wolves of Yellowstone. As KJ spends time with Virgil, she also spends more time getting to know a part of her world that she always took for granted . . . and she begins to see herself and her town in a whole new light.

why i'm interested: this has elements of what i adore (discovering self, relationship focused) and elements i've not fully experienced (nature, wolves). a solid blend will suit me nicely!
by Michael Northrop
Scholastic, 2011
The day the blizzard started, no one knew that it was going to keep snowing for a week. That for those in its path, it would become not just a matter of keeping warm, but of staying alive....
Scotty and his friends Pete and Jason are among the last seven kids at their high school waiting to get picked up that day, and they soon realize that no one is coming for them. Still, it doesn't seem so bad to spend the night at school, especially when distractingly hot Krista and Julie are sleeping just down the hall. But then the power goes out, then the heat. The pipes freeze, and the roof shudders. As the days add up, the snow piles higher, and the empty halls grow colder and darker, the mounting pressure forces a devastating decision....

why i'm interested: i ADORED Gentlemen by Michael Northrop, and the premise of this sounds incredible. this is what we call a win-win, my friends.

Ooo fun meme! I like the idea! :D
ReplyDeleteWolves, Boys and Other things that might Kill Me sounds like an interesting read. The plot sounds very typical but the title and cover have firmly captured my attention!!
Trapped sounds like a terrifying read!
Thanks for the heads up on the two books!
