Book #22: Beauty Queens
This book will officially be released in a few days, and I recommend that you run, don't walk, to go get your copy. Brilliant. This book makes a mockery of the way some women view themselves, and the ridiculousness of American society in general.
Libba Bray is a badass. There. I said it.

Book #21: Clarity
Easy and fast, with a little whodunit thrown in. This is a murder mystery when I thought I was starting another paranormal teen romance. Well, there is a little of that, but mostly it's a mystery and our featured psychic, Clarity, is on the case. Clarity, or Clare, is from an interesting family where her brother is a medium (read: talks to dead people) and her mom's a telepath. Combined with Clarity's psychic ability, the three of them make a living entertaining the tourists until one summer day when a girl gets....murdered! OMG! Read on to see if Clarity helps or hinders the investigation....

Book #20: Monstrumologist
Whenever a book is given a Printz award, I sincerely try to give it a read and don't think I have ever been disappointed. Let me warn you that this book is not for the faint of heart. There are some pretty grotesque and disturbing images and I can see this book being challenged in many libraries. However, if you can get past the gory stuff, I think you'll find an enjoyable tale with characters that you'll both love and hate. I loved the richness of the language and the way the author turns this almost ridiculous storyline into something believable.
