Sarah is the store manager and children's book buyer. She loves football, nine-ball, and the beauty of the buckyball. Sarah likes anything edgy and/or funny YA-- John Green, Amy Ryan, etc.
She also likes vaguely intellectual fiction-- Selected Works of TS Spivet , etc.
She also asks a good question: It's rather hard to explain why Willa Cather and Tom Robbins sit side by side on my pick shelf. Is there a genre for that?

What a wonderfully creepy engaging book! Rhine is 16, which makes her only four years away from death. She is chosen to be a wife, along with two other girls/women, to a high-ranking society official. I can't say too much about it but you must read it. (And not like you're supposed to judge a book by its cover, but this is a gorgeous cover!)

The Adoration of Jenna Fox deserves a dual review:
a) For teachers and parents: This book looks at medical ethics and the growing field of bio-engineering. What does it mean to be human? Part of society?
Part of a family? Some of the answers aren't so easy.
b) For teens: Jenna has a hunch that she doesn't really fit in anymore with her friends and family. Part of it has to do with the accident she suffered but part of it goes deeper. This one kept me up reading because I couldn't put it down.
