Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor was hands down the best YA book I’ve read since Hunger Games. Karou is a secretive girl attending an art school in Prague. Every day her classmates gather around her sketch book to see what’s going on in the world of the creatures Karou frequently draws.
The people in her class assume Karou’s just imaginative, but these creatures make up her adoptive family. When she’s not in class, she’s collecting teeth for her monstrous father figure, for what she doesn’t know, but she does notice that the jars that were once overflowing are now nearly empty. War is on the horizon, when Karou meets Akiva. Their love is instant, forbidden, and familiar. Although forbidden love is familiar and a bit cliché, Laini Taylor has crafted a unique and truly unforgettable tale that you absolutely GOTTA READ!!
What we're Reading
Perry has a lot of stress in his life. He has a complicated relationship with his father, but he needs a college letter of recommendation from a partner in his father's firm. His mother wants him to take their foreign exchange student, Gobija Zaksauskas, to the prom, but his band has their first paying gig in New York City on the same night. He wants to say no to everyone, but he can't. When Gobi comes down the stairs dressed for prom wearing a 'baggy shapeless mountain of linen', a headscarf and a bag made from animal hide, Perry's father hands him the keys to his red Jaguar to ease his pain. Perry thinks that the evening is going to be a disaster-only he has no idea how bad it could get before dawn. What happens next involves a crazy night in Manhattan, hit men, mobsters, explosions, and a jump from the forty-seventh floor. Through it all, Perry learns a lot more than he ever wanted to know about himself, his family, Gobi, concealed weapons and the underworld. Essentially kidnapped at gunpoint by his prom date, Perry is a very unwilling participant in what turns out to be the most important night of his life. This book is hilarious in an over-the-top, high octane sort of way. From the first explosion to the last, you'll be handcuffed to every page.

In the autobiography So You Wanna Be a Rock & Roll Star , Jacob Slitcher tells his personal story of drumming for the band Semisonic. Telling different stories from tours to recording, Slitcher demonstrates what it takes to be a successful musician. I would recommend this book to any rock musician.
Review by Steven Greenberg
Nancy Farmers The House of the Scorpion is a telling novel about a young boy, Matteo, who discovers he is merely a clone. The story bursts with adventure, romance, and the importance of coming to terms with who you are. Readers will crave more with each page of vivacious description.
Review by Deepika Nagarajan
