The Adoration of Jenna Fox

by Mary E Pearson

Interesting, to say the least. I wasn't sure what the book was even about, even after reading the blurb on the back. Fascinating speculation as to what may be to come if we continue to medicate with antibiotics as the cure-all. It was sci-fi enough to be considered sci-fi, but not in the extreme. I could pronounce every word in the book :) Jenna wakes up with no recollection. Of anything. At all. She's not even sure she's awake. She doesn't know what/who she is, either. I thought it was great!

City of Ashes

by Cassandra Clare

Once I remembered which characters were who, but after a chapter or so, I found myself completely enthralled. There were twists and turns and more character development...it was great!! I am SO excited to get the final book in the series. Clary, Simon, Jace, and the others continue to fight evil forces, while trying to figure out the same things every teenager is dealing with.
