Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist by Rachel Cohn

This post is by Shannon of the Knight Readers Book Club:
An amazingly funny twist of two teenagers who love music and seem to make you love them too.

Prom Dates from Hell by Rosemary Clement Moore

Gaby from Book Club had this to say:
Maggie Quinn is like the next Nancy Drew, only there is one small difference. She, unlike Nancy, has the Sight. Maggie is at first very skeptical about her sixth sense, but eventually must face her doubts head-on when mysterious occurrences begin around school. There have been near-fatal accidents that seem to bend the laws of nature and completely ignore the laws of logic. In order to find out what's going on and how to fix it, Maggie must accept and work with her extra abilities to solve all of the supernatural obstacles laid out before it's too late. The sarcastic humor in this book is refreshing to people like me who enjoy the darker side of all things funny. Prom Dates from Hell will keep you guessing to the very last page.

Vampire Kisses by Ellen Schreiber

Gaby from the Knight Readers Book Club wrote this book review:
There is a mysterious new family that moved into a supposedly haunted mansion on top of Benson Hill. To make matters even more scandalous in the small town that Raven (the local outcast Goth-girl) dubbed Dullsville, the family is rumored to be vampires! Now there's nothing that could have caught this outcast's attention more than that. And, as always, if that sixteen year old is ever curious about anything, she will take matters into her own hands. This vampire romance novel is refreshing with its humorous twists and turns as Raven tries to uncover the truth about Alexander and his family. If you want a romantic comedy with a bite, Vampire Kisses, is definitely the way to go.

Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris

This is the first book in the Sookie Stackhouse series that is the inspiration behind the HBO show, TrueBlood.

A Wild Sheep Chase

Author Murakami is amazing in this surreal dream-like story that is all at once full of adventure, mythical mystery, and his usual dose of the absurd. Advanced readers and fans of mysticism will love his works.
