Rebecca’s Pick: A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson Pippa doesn’t believe that Sal killed Andie.

My Oxford Year
Cori’s Pick: My Oxford Year by Julia Whelan Did you read the JoJo Moyes Me Before You trilogy? Did you love it? If so, I highly recommend you snatch up Julia Whelan’s tasty debut (April, 2018), sit back and prepare to laugh and perhaps shed a tear – no spoilers here, but for me, the…
The Gifted School
Cori’s Pick: The Gifted School by Bruce Holsinger Wow. What a timely read! This book was published in July of 2019 – which coincidentally was just a few months after the massive college admission cheating scandal of a couple of famous actresses (Ms Huffman, Ms Loughlin – we’re talkin’ about you).

Eddie is twelve when his family, along with 179 other passengers, boards an airplane headed for L.A. But halfway there, tragedy strikes and the plane crashes, and…
Suggested Reading
Rebecca’s Pick: Suggested Reading by Dave Connis Not gonna lie, it’s hard kind of hard to find a non-dystopian/apocalyptic YA, and I just wasn’t really in the mood for one of those right now…. So, I found a title that appealed more to my personal interests: the library and books! When the principal of Lupton…

Cori’s Pick: A Simple Favor by Darcey Bell A few weeks ago I saw a movie preview for A Simple Favor, (which is set for release in September and stars Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick) that looked really interesting, see the trailer here – and I’m dying over the music! I immediately checked for the…
