I finished California, by Edan Lepucki, last night. Profoundly disappointing, especially given the degree of positive press it has received. Dystopian America future in CA. The first two thirds don't suck completely, but the book collapses when you've got about 100 pages to go. The author seemed not to know what to do with the mess she'd created. I don't think there was any logical resolution of this setup. She should not have published it.
I'm glad I took it out of the library, or I'd want both my money and my time back.
OMG The Hundred foot journey made me laugh and it made me cry and it is honestly one of the best books I have read this year ...I loved it . Did I say it made me cry and laugh and not many books can do that ....do I recommend you read OMG YES , YES , YES 100 times Yes !!! I loved it and now I miss it because it is over sniff sniff .....
hope to read this ; glad to hear you loved it so much. I am not a movie person so I doubt I will see the movie.
I am reading the best book right now! One of those where I really want to slow down and enjoy it, but I just can't put it down...
All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
The setting is WWII (1937 - 1944) and two stories are weaving together - a young, blind girl from Paris and her locksmith father who works for the Museum of Natural History and a young German boy with a remarkable talent for working with radios.
I am 3/4 of the way along and am enjoying every word

I just came across that one and it is on my list.
I finished Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen. It was basically garbage I'm not even sure if there was a lesson to be learned for teens.
I am halfway through a book that I think I have taken out from the library about three times. Finally I am reading it. I checked back and a lot of you didn't like it. To each his/her own I am really enjoying it after a slow start. The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh.

I actually liked The Language of Flowers - it wasn't perfect, but I thought it was a sweet read and I learned a lot!
I finished Shift and...I don't know. I know it's sci-fi but a big chunk didn't make sense to me. I'm curious about what happens to the characters, but probably not enough to read the 3rd book in the series.
Good to know. Due to a series of circumstances I haven't got any further in the book, but I have seen the beautiful way he places the story in its setting. So now back to my 'circumstances,' which someone just added to by bringing me straw bales I didn't ask for and have to move......
The Prince of Venice Beach by Blake Nelson. Novel about a Los Angeles beach/street kid. I don't know it that makes it YA or not, but it's pretty interesting, and the Venice/Santa Monica setting rings true. Could be the first book in a new LA series, a la Connelly or Kellerman. Even if it isn't, it's an enjoyable read.
cant remember if I posted this already but I just started The Maze Runner by James Dashner a few days ago and am intrigued by it and cannot wait to continue reading more
