Yesterday, Lauren (of Sarcastic Spastic - if you haven't read her blog, do it. It's funny.) and myself went to Borders to hang. Because we haven't seen each other in EVER.
And Borders is full of BOOKS! Which is just amazing. And though our YA section is limited, I manged to come up with a list of books I plan to read.
Perfect Chemistry
Simone Elkeles

Reasons I Want To Read It:
I love forbidden romances.
The quote that was on the back of the book made Lauren and I laugh out loud. She actually bought it on the spot. It sounds like something that would actually be said.
I'm a cover whore. And I love this cover.
Reasons Not To Read It:
It's a high school novel, and most aren't really true to high school. But this one looks funny enough - and possibly true enough - to make up for it.
This Book Isn't Fat, It's Fabulous

Reasons I Want To Read It:
It's title kicks booty.
... it's title kicks butt! That needed to be said twice.
Fat camp is, for some strange reason, fun to read about.
Reasons Not To Read It:
I dislike the main character immensely, and that's only from the summary of the book.
Fat camp is, for some strange reason, sad to read about.
Tattoo
Jennifer Lynn Barnes

Reasons I Want To Read It:
I want a tattoo myself.
"And if they can get Delia to stop using her newfound power to turn gum wrappers into Prada pumps, they might actually stand a chance." <- Ahhhhh. Reasons I Don't Want To Read It:
It sounds a bit cheesy. (But I like cheese. So this could be okay.)
The Stolen One
Suzanne Crowely

Reasons I Want To Read It:
Red headed characters rock.
The summary left me dying. I hate not knowing what the secret is.
Once again, my cover whore comes into play. Loooooove it.
Reasons Not To Read It:
I actually haven't figured out one yet, 'cept that the twists could be really bad.
Kissed By An Angel
Elizabeth Chantler

Reasons I Want To Read It:
It's supposed to be bloody brilliant?
I like the flower on the cover.
Reasons Not To Read It:
It sounds cheesy.
I dislike romances with dead things. (Unless they happen to like gnawing on necks.)
For some reason, the plot line just does NOT appeal to me. I can't explain it.
Take Me There
Susane Colasanit

Reasons I Want To Read It:
Revenge is fun.
It's supposed to be excellent.
I love when people who are meant to be end up together, and I think that's what will happen.
Reasons Not To Read It:
I can't think of any. Can you?
Going Too Far
Jennifer Echols

Reasons I Want To Read It:
I interviewed Jennifer - I ought to read at least one of her books, don't you think?
COVER WHORE. Looooove it.
The summary makes it sound sexy without it actually being sexy.
Good plot line.
Reasons Not To Read It:
I'll get back to you.
PART TWO COMING TOMORROW!
