I loved Jordan Sonnenblick’s Drums, Girls & Dangerous Pie. It was the kind of book that will make me cry no matter how many times I reread it. I am more than pumped to hear that he has a new book coming out.

I’m a big fan of Angie Frazier’s Everlasting series as well as the first Suzanna Snow book. I can’t wait to see what kind of adventure Zanna runs into this time!

A Breath of Eyre by Eve Marie Mont

Emma Townsend has always believed in stories—the ones she reads voraciously, and the ones she creates in her head. Perhaps it’s because she feels like an outsider at her exclusive prep school, or because her stepmother doesn’t come close to filling the void left by her mother’s death. And her only romantic prospect—apart from a crush on her English teacher—is Gray Newman, a long-time friend who just adds to Emma’s confusion. But escape soon arrives in an old leather-bound copy of Jane Eyre…

Reading of Jane’s isolation sparks a deep sense of kinship. Then fate takes things a leap further when a lightning storm catapults Emma right into Jane’s body and her nineteenth-century world. As governess at Thornfield, Emma has a sense of belonging she’s never known—and an attraction to the brooding Mr. Rochester. Now, moving between her two realities and uncovering secrets in both, Emma must decide whether her destiny lies in the pages of Jane’s story, or in the unwritten chapters of her own…

Oh my gosh, Mr. Rochester? Yes please!!! Enough said.
