My pick of the week:
This book just stuck with me. It's an awesome YA book about life, romance and growing up. I loved it's funny yet gritty substance.
Book: Carpe Diem
Author: Autumn Cornwell
Description:
“I’ve got my entire life
planned out for the next ten years — including my PhD and Pulitzer
Prize,” claims 16-year-old overachiever Vassar Spore, daughter of
overachiever parents, who in true overachiever fashion named her after
an elite women’s college. Vassar expects her sophomore summer to include
AP and AAP (Advanced Advanced Placement) classes. Surprise!
Enter a world-traveling relative who sends her plans into a tailspin
when she blackmails Vassar’s parents into forcing their only child to
backpack with her through Southeast Asia.
On a journey from Malaysia to Cambodia to the remote jungles of Laos, Vassar sweats, falls in love, hones her outdoor survival skills — and uncovers a family secret that turns her whole world upside-down.
Vassar Spore can plan on one thing: she’ll never be the same again.

Sounds pretty good. I like the cover, it's different.
