Fang Girl by Helen Keeble

I have to say, I'm actually a fan of vampire books.  Not ones like Twilight and New Moon, but ones that fall more along the lines of a relatable teenage girl having a pair of fangs.

Fang Girl is exactly that.   It tells the story of Xanthe Jane Greene rising from her grave.  Her family freaks out- of course- but they're pretty cool with her drinking blood.  Crazy scientist mom thinks of everything that could possibly happen, including turning a fish into a bloodsucker, which turns out to be fairly hilarious.  Steampunk obsessed younger brother Zack is convinced that she's really a zombie, and he won't change his mind.  This book has it all- cute vampire hunters, tweens that spend too much time online, evil shape shifters, crazy vampire bloodlines, cats, several plot twists, and even IKEA.  I have to say that I laughed out loud way too many times whilst reading this book- good book, but bad read on a crowded train unless you want random strangers thinking that you're insane.

So yeah, read this book.  The cover may look weird, but trust me, it's good.

The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith

Hadley doesn't want to see her dad get remarried to Charlotte from England, but what is she supposed to do?  Miss her flight to London?

Okay, so that part was an accident, but she's sure glad it turned out that way, even though it would mean taking the flight in the middle of the night and arriving at the wedding only minutes before it starts.

On the next flight, she sits next to Oliver, the funny, charming Brit who Hadley talks to for the entire trip.

Their plane lands, but she looses him in customs- will they ever see each other again?

*spoiler alert*  They do.

But seriously, this book is great.  Read it.  I picked it up at Barnes and Noble waiting for my mom to finish her shopping, then devoured half the book there.  I read through the commercial breaks of Community and through texting my friend about about heart attacks.  If you pick this book up, it's going to be hard to put down, but when you do put it down, you won't even use a bookmark, fearing that you would ruin the book if you did.  (Okay, now that I think about it, that was really dumb.  Sticking a slip of paper in between two pages isn't going to ruin a book...)  Or you're going to dog-ear every page and underline every quote- it really depends on which type of person you are.

So, yeah.  Go read this book; you most definitely will not regret it.
