Oh gosh, guys!

So, it's May 30 (31st? What is today? Oh, it's the 30th. Cool) and I'm on 55 out of my 100 books of the year project. I have approximately 4 months until my due date is up, so that's like 11 books each month that I have to read...or like a book every three days. I've gotta get cracking!

But the actual reason I wrote this post is 'cause I wanna know if you have any book suggestions?? I'm out of chick lit for now, and I need new stuff to read. So, if you have any suggestions, comment below or send me a message, whatever works for you.

Gracias!

The Probability of Miracles

By: Wendy Wunder

"Science just isn't enough this time. What you need is a miracle."

Campbell Cooper has never been in love. And if the doctors are right, she'll never have the chance.

For the last five years, seventeen-year-old Cam has been in and out of hospitals, fighting the cancer that is waging a war on her body. So when she's told she needs a miracle, moving 1,500 miles north to Promise, Maine - a place where amazing, unexplainable events are said to occur - is not how Cam wants to spend the short time she has left. If science can't cure her, what makes her mom think the mystical powers of "miracle town" will?

But even Cam can't deny that strange things happen in Promise. A field of electric purple dandelions grows on a hillside. The sunsets last for hours. Hot pink flamingos come to rest in the frigid Atlantic. An adorable boy named Asher keeps popping up, exactly when Cam needs him. And then, a mysterious envelope arrives, containing a list of things for Cam to do before she dies. As she checks them off the list, Cam finally learns to believe - in love, in herself, and maybe even in miracles, as improbable as they seem.

Tempest

By: Julie Cross

The year is 2009. Nineteen-year-old Jackson Meyer is a normal guy - he's in college, has a girlfriend...and he can travel back through time. But it's not like the movies - nothing changes in the present after his jumps, there's no space-time continuum issues or broken flux capacitors - it's just harmless fun.

That is, until the day strangers burst in on Jackson and his girlfriend, Holly, and during a struggle with Jackson, Holly is fatally shot. In his panic, Jackson accidentally jumps back two years to 2007, but this is not like his previous time jumps. Now he's stuck in 2007 and can't get back to the future.

Desperate to somehow return to 2009 to save Holly but unable to return to his rightful year, Jackson settles into 2007, learns what he can about is abilities, and meets Holly for the first time...again. Soon he discovers that nothing about his life is what it appears to be, including his own father.

But it's not long before the people who shot Holy in 2009 come looking for Jackson in the past, and these "Enemies of Time" will stop at nothing to recruit this powerful young time traveler. Recruit...or kill him.

Piecing together the clues about his father, the Enemies of Time, and himself, Jackson must decided how far he's willing to go to save Holly...and possibly the entire world.

The Girls of No Return

By: Erin Saldin

Every girl at the Alice Marshall School

was sent there because of her Thing.

For some girls, it's sex.

For others, it's stealing.

For Lida, it's a secret.

And she's going to keep it that way.

The Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness Area stretches across two million acres in central Idaho, with the Alice Marshall School for Girls at its heart. When Lida arrives at AMS, she meets Boone, who once burned down a building; Juules, who seems too happy to belong at the school; and Gia, whose glamour entraces everyone she meets. As they prepare for their personal wilderness treks, Lida is both thrilled and terrified to be chosen as Gia's friend. But all the girls have their own secrets to guard - and when those come out, the knives do too.

Bloodlines
By Richelle Mead

I wasn't free of my past, not yet.

Sydney's blood is special. That's because she's an alchemist - one of a group of humans who dabble in magic and serve to bridge the worlds of humans and vampires. They protect vampire secrets - and human lives. But the last encounter Sydney had with vampires got her in deep trouble with the other alchemists. And now with her allegiances in question, her future is on the line.

When Sydney is torn from her bed in the middle of the night, at first she thinks she's still being punished for her complicated alliance with dhampir Rose Hathaway. But what unfolds is far worse. Jill Dragomir - the sister of Moroi Queen Lissa Dragomir - is in mortal danger, and the Moroi must send her into hiding. To avoid a civil war, Sydney is called upon to act as Jill's guardian and protector, posing as her roommate in the unlikeliest of places: a human boarding school in Palm Springs, California. The last thing Sydney wants is to be accused of sympathizing with vampires. And now she has to live with one.

The Moroi court believe Jill and Sydney will be safe at Amberwood Prep, but threats, distractions, and forbidden romance lurk both outside - and withink - the school grounds. Now that they're in hiding, the drama is only beginning.
