Parallel is due to release on May 14th and I have an ARC to give to someone who will review it. If interested, please enter below and good luck!
Abby Barnes had a plan. The Plan. She'd go to Northwestern, major in journalism, and land a job at a national newspaper, all before she turned twenty-two. But one tiny choice—taking a drama class her senior year of high school—changed all that. Now, on the eve of her eighteenth birthday, Abby is stuck on a Hollywood movie set, miles from where she wants to be, wishing she could rewind her life. The next morning, she's in a dorm room at Yale, with no memory of how she got there. Overnight, it's as if her past has been rewritten.
With the help of Caitlin, her science-savvy BFF, Abby discovers that this new reality is the result of a cosmic collision of parallel universes that has Abby living an alternate version of her life. And not only that: Abby's life changes every time her parallel self makes a new choice. Meanwhile, her parallel is living out Abby's senior year of high school and falling for someone Abby's never even met.
As she struggles to navigate her ever-shifting existence, forced to live out the consequences of a path she didn't choose, Abby must let go of the Plan and learn to focus on the present, without losing sight of who she is, the boy who might just be her soul mate, and the destiny that's finally within reach.

Extraordinarily fine work was submitted for the inaugural readergirlz writing contest, which asked writers to yield a brief piece of a fully lived emotion. In the end, a single winner would not do. Please join me in congratulating the winners here, below, who are all receiving signed copies of Undercover. And please join us for the second of the four contests, newly posted here.
Jennifer Petro-Roy is a librarian/graduate student in Library Science with eventual aspirations to be a young adult librarian/young adult author; she is at work on a memoir about her battle with and full recovery from anorexia and exercise addition.
Erin McIntosh likes writing poetry on windows and tulip stems, standing on roofs during dust storms, and Arizona sunsets.My worth was in flesh, visible bones, rib cage mere piano keys to play.
Sweat and footfalls placated the fear. Body tense, I calculated my worth.
My mirage beckoned, grasped, screamed, pulling me deeper.
Can't stop, can't stretch, can't grow, can't be.
Just me. Am I enough?
Supplement my worth with nothing.
Prove I am through negatives and loss.
Fear. Relief. Fear. Always fear.
Until a step. A struggle. A Sisyphean slip.
Again. Stone in place, the view belongs to me.
it's when tears won't come
and neither will love
redemption is erased, the idea
of forgiveness a myth
we don't touch
or look
or speak
there is an indescribable air
filled with everything we
never wanted.

I've taken that leap, finally
after several attempts.
Slowly stripping one layer:
one by one.
I am fully exposed to you now.
Critique me if you like.
Hate me if you dare.
Love me, that'd be great.
No matter what you say,
it'll all just make me stronger.

If You Find Me by Emily Murdoch. My favorite book (so far) of 2013.
Stephanie
Dear Cassie by Lisa Burstein
Pivot Point by Kasie West.
Read The Chronicles of Nick series by Sherrilyn Kenyon! It's fantastic! :D
Not sure what you're in the mood for but Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell and Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys have been my favorite reads so far this year.
I have read Soul Control and Cocaine Zombies which were both pretty good books so this is what I would recommend. thank you for the giveaway!!
Golden by Jessi Kirby is awesome! It comes out in May :)
I'll give you a few!
Hopeless by COlleen Hoover
The Edge of Never by J.A. Redmerski
The Unbecoming series by Michelle Hodkin
Such a unique idea! Can't wait to read it! Thanks for the giveaway!!
Oops. I didn't realize I was supposed to recommend a book. Right now I'm obsessed with the riders of the apocalypse series by jackie morse Kessler. It's a young adult series. I also love the southern vampire series by charlaine Harris. I can't wait for the last one next month.
Forever Me by indie author Thomas Amo is perfect if you're looking for a YA novel about all things high school with a surprising murder twist. Right now I think it's only available on Amazon. I'm currently reading Maid of Secrets by Jennifer McGowan and it's really good! It takes place in 1500s London. The main character has been kidnapped and forced to act as a spy for the Queen. It's being released in May!
Read Dead Girls Don't Die by Katie Alendar =D
I'm currently reading Eleanor & Park and its super good! One of those books that I want to recommend to everyone before I even finish reading it!
I'm reading This is What Happy Looks Like and it is pretty good.
Safe Haven by Sparks.
I would recommend Poison Study by Maria V Snyder. The whole series is pretty awesome though!
Let the Sky Fall by Shannon Messenger :D
I was looking through some of your archives and you have read a lot of books! But I'll put some of my favorites just in case you haven't read them. I recommend:
Poison Princess, #1 Witches of East End & #2 Serpent's Kiss, #1 The Pledge & #2 The Essence, The Chemical Garden, A Hex Hall Novel Series, Forbidden by Syrie James, Dragonswood, Crave by Melissa Darnell, Spellbound & Spellcaster by Cara Lynn Shultz, The Blue Blood Series. Sorry! I think I wrote a little to many! Once I got started I couldn't stop. I hope you can find some books that you haven't read yet. Oh and Dragonswood is actually a really good book and its book #2. Book #1 is Dragons Keep which is a smaller book. Now that I think about it, I haven't seen this series on the blogs I visit. But I recommend it and I think you would enjoy it!! Thank you for this awesome giveaway!! I am DYING to read Parallel!!! Crossing my fingers for this book!!
Significance series by Shelly Crane, Medusa, A Love Story by: Sasha Summers, The In Death series by: J.D. Robb, The Archers of Avalon series by: Chelsea Fine, and the Star-Crossed series by: Rachel Higginson :)
I just read Across the Universe by Beth Revis and I loved it!
PS - I do live in the US even though my email ends in co.uk =)
