<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Is achieving the social status of your dreams really all that sweet?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Taylor wishes she were popular. It's not like she doesn't have any friends, but when she tries to throw a giant cotton candy–themed birthday bash, it ends up a huge flop—no one shows up.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">So when her dad gets a new job and they have to move, Taylor sees it as an opportunity to reinvent herself. As luck would have it, in the first week of her new school, she's partnered on a project with the queen bee of seventh grade herself, Elle. Soon, she's one of the popular crowd. She's even on her way to a date with the cutest boy in school! All her dreams are coming true!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">But Taylor starts to learn that being with the in-crowd involves a lot of gossip and backstabbing—and she realizes that her favorite part of the day is actually hanging out with Colin, her nerdy math partner. However, Elle is not a fan of Colin—and ultimately, Taylor has to choose between them. Will she risk alienating Colin and his friends to maintain the social status she always wished for?</span></span><br />

Was the last post really from 2016's NYE? Ugh, I guess so. I guess me and blogging haven't meshed in awhile. It's not to say I haven't been writing. I've done a lot of writing in 2017- I put out four books in a series under my secret pen name in 2017, plus participated in a box set with 20 other authors. I've super enjoyed writing under a pen name. It's given me a lot of freedom to explore a new genre and interact with loads of new readers. And it's taken off pretty well so yay, sales! :-) That's not to say I'm not still active with my middle grade and young adult writing. I've done a number of signings and festivals throughout the year as well as school visits. And I'm working on a middle grade novel right now that should be out in early 2019-- stay tuned for official news on that. Cici Reno is due out in paperback in April as well. Here's hoping 2018 is a happy, healthy, and productive year for us all!<br />

I'm feeling a bit lazy today so I'm going to sum it up in pictures. :-) It's been a great year. My middle grade novel, Cici Reno #MiddleSchoolMatchmaker came out and received rave reviews across the board. I attended conferences, signings, and school visits. And I wrote so, so much this year. My resolution last year was to write more and I sure did. I didn't add up the words but I completed three full books and wrote three partial books. That's pretty awesome for me! I hope you've had a wonderfully productive year as well! Happy New Year!<br />

"Cici is the one with all the answers! When her friends have issues it’s her they go to. So when her friend Aggie comes back from a trip with two new friend’s boys won't leave her alone. So it’s Cici to the rescue. In this short very cute story readers will find that sometimes you fall for the wrong person and well you can't help who you fall for. It’s a very cute story to introduce readers to contemporary writing.<br />

<br />
"Cici Reno is a fun intro to crush and romantic fiction for tweens, and a sneaky/smart way to introduce the classic tale, Cyrano de Bergerac, to middle schoolers. It’s a classic tale of miscommunication that fits perfectly with today’s kids, who largely interact online. I also love the introduction and description to various yoga poses, and the mental/emotional benefits of each, that Cici Tweets out at the beginning of each chapter. Not only does it gives readers a clue as to what’s going to happen in the upcoming chapter, it offers a little bit of yoga instruction that I appreciate and hope tweens will take the bait and discover on their own.<br />
<br />
Cici is a likable character. She’s not a mean girl; she’s not vapid; she’s a realistic tween who does a favor for her shy friend, with the best of intentions, and finds herself stuck in a situation she didn’t expect. Aggie is a surprisingly supportive best friend; I normally find myself irritated with the classic “best friend breakdown” formula that many books fall into, but Cici and Aggie avoided all that by simply talking things out. Thank you for that, Ms. Springer! It’s going to be a talking point when I booktalk this one, because I will be adding this to my shelves for summer reading. I think the use of social media and miscommunication will fit nicely with my tweens, and it gives me a great jumping off point for a discussion on how you can pretend to be someone else online – and, in classic devil’s advocate mode, how someone shy and/or introverted can use social media to interact more comfortably than he or she would feel in person."<br />

This is the first of my books where they are actually interested! They were usually too small to care with previous books or the content was too mature for their age level. They've asked me to read a couple of chapters of Cici Reno to them every night and they get so into it. It's fun to hear where they giggle and what parts make them gasp. And with this book there's a strong yoga angle-- the main character Cici tweets at the beginning of each chapter with a yoga pose and what it benefits. Each time I read that part to the kids they jump up and try out the pose. We've just finished reading the whole book and it's been so much fun!<br />

And this time I didn't just shelve books I got to cover new ones too. SO MUCH FUN. I really need to get a part-time library job don't I? Anyway, here are this week's gems I found while shelving to add to my TBR pile.<br />

First up, <a href="http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780545575867">The Boy Problem</a> by Kami Kinard (Scholastic Press/April 2014). I'm a sucker for a good title and a cute cover and this one had both. Then I saw the description:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>"Tabitha 'Tabbi' Reddy believes in signs. Like fortune cookies. Magic 8-Balls. Shooting stars. And this year, she hopes, looking for the right signs will lead her to the right boy Inspired by her BFF, Kara (star of THE BOY PROJECT), Tabbi starts her own 'project' in the hopes of finding a cute crush. With the help of a math lesson on probability, Tabbi tries to predict who the right boy for her might be Where is she most likely to meet him? What is he most likely to look like? Full of fun illustrations, hilarious equations, and lessons in cupcake-baking, life, love, and friendship, this book has a 100% probability of awesomeness. A perfect 'next step' for fans of DORK DIARIES."</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Predicting the right boy for her? I love it!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780060755454">Lily B. on the Brink of Love</a> by Elizabeth Cody Kimmel (Harper Collins/December 2006). It's an oldie but it looks so good! <i>This </i>is why I love shelving at the junior high LRC! At the book club I visited with last one of the 5th graders asked me, "Do you notice you write about falling in love a lot?" I hadn't really thought about it but yep, I'm a sucker for love stories. Anyway, check out Lily B.:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<b>"Aspiring author and eighth-grader Lily Blennerhassett hones her writing skills as her school newspaper's advice columnist while also trying to get her first crush, The Boy, to notice her."</b></div>

Sounds super cute! The last pick this week is:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780670013074">Unfriended </a>by Rachel Vail (Viking Children's/September 2014). I haven't read this yet but seeing it reminded me that it has to move up on the list. I'm dying to see how all the social media stuff plays out in the book.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>"In middle school, nothing is more important than friendship. </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>When Truly is invited to sit at the Popular Table with the group she has dreamed of joining, she can hardly believe her luck. Everyone seems so nice, so kind to one another. But all is not as it seems with her new friends, and soon she's caught in a maelstrom of lies, misunderstandings, accusations and counter-accusations, all happening very publicly in the relentless, hyperconnected social media world from which there is no escape.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Six eighth-graders, four girls and two boys, struggle to understand and process their fractured glimples into one another's lives as they find new ways to disconnect, but also to connect, in Rachel Vail's richest and most searching book."</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

Sounds good right? My days need to be longer so I can read ALL the books!</div>

I just finished listening to the audiobook of this one and you guys, it's so, SO good. I picked it up randomly. I hadn't heard anything about it or seen any mention of it (maybe because it's a UK author and just didn't get as much promo here?) but it's legit amazing. Zoe is a celebrity blogger in the UK and this is her first novel. The love story that develops between Noah and Penny is one of the best I've ever heard in YA. Like, take a seat John Green and let Zoe up front kind of stuff. And there is the most epic telling-off-a-mean-girl scene I've ever seen in it. You have to get it for that alone! I loved the audiobook and the woman who read it was fantastic. And while I did check out a copy of the audiobook from the library it's legit good enough that I just ordered a copy of the book online so I can read it again. Love, love, love it!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"If this first love is true love, why can’t Hildy hang out with her friends without feeling guilty? Dyan Sheldon takes on the possessive side of summer romance with humor and insight. Hildy has only had two-and-a-half dates in her whole life, and she isn’t counting the half. It’s starting to look as if she’s never going to have a third date, or be kissed, or know a boy who is more than just a friend. Then, on an ordinary day, she meets Connor of the melt-that-ice-cap smile — and a summer that was going to be ordinary as toast turns into Hildy’s summer of love. But love for Hildy is a little more complicated than the songs and movies have led her to believe. It’s not so much girl-meets-boy-and-loses-her-heart as boy-meets-girl-and-loses-his-mind. Part cautionary tale and part romantic comedy, Dyan Sheldon’s wry, diary-style novel weighs in on all ends of the relationship scale in a story of first love."</div>

"Twelve-year-old Quentin never asked to be the Heartbreak Messenger. It just kind of happened, and he can't let a golden opportunity pass him by. The valuable communication service he offers is simple: He delivers breakup messages. For a small fee, he will deliver that message to your soon-to-be ex. If you order the deluxe package, he'll even throw in some flowers and a box of chocolates. You know . . . to soften the blow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At first, Quentin's entrepreneurial brainchild is surprisingly successful, which is great, because he suspects his mom, who works as a car mechanic, is worried about money. But as he interacts with clients, message recipients, and his best friend, Abigail, it doesn't take long for him to wonder if his own heart will remain intact. In The Heartbreak Messenger by Alexander Vance, Quentin discovers that the game of love and the emotions that go with it are as complicated as they come—even for an almost-innocent bystander."</div>

Omg, you won me over. How flippin' funny is this? Then I read the description:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>"Are you average? Normal? Forgettable? If so, the League of Unexceptional Children is for you! This first book in a hilarious new adventure series is for anyone who's struggled to be noticed in a sea of above-average overachievers.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>What is the League of Unexceptional Children? I'm glad you asked. You didn't ask? Well, you would have eventually and I hate to waste time. The League of Unexceptional Children is a covert network that uses the nation's most average, normal, and utterly unexceptional children as spies. Why the average kids? Why not the brainiacs? Or the beauty queens? Or the jocks? It's simple: People remember them. But not the unexceptionals. They are the forgotten ones. Until now!"</b></div>

<b>"When two self-professed middle school drama geeks––Isabelle and Annie (a.k.a. Cisco and The Bean)––fail at their attempts in romance, they start Flirt Club, an after school support group for similarly afflicted friends who decide to take decisive and strategic action with hilarious and touching results."</b></div>
