When Headmaster Boddy is found dead the next morning with a knife in his chest, things take a turn for the worse. Did he . . .
A new decade of literature begins now. Books released this year will set the tone for what this decade in literature will look like, and I'm soooooo ready for some of these releases!

When a beautiful woman wanders into the bookstore where Joe works, he is immediately obsessed with her. He must know her name. He Googles the name on her credit card, and he's in luck: only 1 Guinevere Beck shows up in NYC. Even better, Beck (as her friends call her) has a public Facebook page and a ridiculously active Twitter . . .
It's no surprise when Holden Caulfield flunks out of yet another school. Instead of going straight home to inform his parents, Holden spends a few whirlwind days around New York City calling up old friends, drinking in bars (illegally, of course), and crashing in sleazy places. Rather than face his parents, he chooses loneliness and misery, and . . .
On a once-in-a-lifetime trip across Europe, Allyson feels entirely underwhelmed. A graduation present from her parents, the organized tour for teens is too…planned, and the only place Allyson actually wants to visit---beautiful Paris---winds up being skipped.
