Last-Minute Gift Ideas!
Far From You by Lisa Schroeder!
Need by Carrie Jones!
Want a hot-off-the-presses book for the teen in your life? Conveniently enough, it's the release day for two great books by women I can personally attest would be thrilled to see their work under your Christmas tree or . . .around . . . your menorah. Or someone else's. Look. They both make great gifts, is what I'm sayin'.
I shared a release date with Lisa on January 8, and I'm happy to see these two friends sharing one today! Two sweet people with multiple-book-release years! Wow!
Buy both at Powells online, or visit IndieBound for an indie bookstore near you.
Do you believe in angels?
FAR FROM YOU is a story of love and loss, and reminds us what's really important in life. Fans of I HEART YOU, YOU HAUNT ME are sure to enjoy this novel-in-verse feauturing 16-year-old Alice, a singer/songwriter who's had her share of hard times, and unfortunately, has more to come. What will pull her through? Her music? The love of her boyfriend, Blaze? Or perhaps, an angel, here on earth?
The Story of NEED:
Zara collects phobias the way other high school girls collect lipsticks. Little wonder, since life’s been pretty rough so far. Her father left, her stepfather just died, and her mother’s pretty much checked out. Now Zara’s living with her grandmother in sleepy, cold Maine so that she stays “safe.” Zara doesn’t think she’s in danger; she thinks her mother can’t deal.
Wrong. Turns out that guy she sees everywhere, the one leaving trails of gold glitter, isn’t a figment of her imagination. He’s a pixie-and not the cute, lovable kind with wings. He’s the kind who has dreadful, uncontrollable needs. And he’s trailing Zara.
YAY, LISA AND CARRIE!
