Inside Girl J. Minter

Flan Flood is determined to be more than just Patch Flood's little sister when she begins her freshman year at Stuyvesant High, a huge public school downtown. When she meets a new group of friends that could help her become a new person, Flan has to convince them that she's just an ordinary girl, like they are. This becomes nearly impossible when her very not normal friends Liesel, Philippa, and Sara-Beth Benny move in! Can Flan keep the Inside Girls hidden, find a new high school boy to date, and get her new friends to accept her? Featuring Flan Flood, long a favorite character of the original Insider novels, Inside Girl offers a fresh, young, and girl-centric perspective that is perfect for early teen readers.

The Rise and Fall of a Teenage Social Climber Lauren Mechling and Laura Moser

When Mimi moves to the city, she has to change school and move in with her dad. She develops a crush on her dad's darkroom assistant quicker than a blink, then realises he might just be her dad's boyfriend.
And at school she's making similar faux pas. Unsure which clique she should belong to, Mimi tries to play the prim prom queens off against the too-cool-for-school beatniks- and ends up losing out on both. And when her journal gets into the wrong hands, there's hell to pay.
A coming of age story about friendship and betrayal, about appearances and what lies beneath.

Retail price: $13.65

A Spot of Bother by Mark Haddon

Retail price: $17.10
Selling for: $9.50

Synopsis:
In A Spot of Bother, George Hall is convinced that the eczema on his thigh is cancer and is unable to deal with his daughter's wedding, his wife's affair, and his son's homosexuality. Funny and perceptive, if not uplifting, Haddon's biggest accomplishment is writing something completely different from Curious Incident, and writing it well.
Condition: 9/10

Priestess of the White by Trudi Canavan
Retail price: $17.95
Selling for: $10.90
Synopsis:
Her heroism saved a village from destruction; now Auraya has been named Priestess of the White. The limits of her unique talents must be tested in order to prove her worthy of the honor and grave responsibility awarded to her. But a perilous road lies ahead, fraught with pitfalls that will challenge the newest servant of the gods. An enduring friendship with a Dreamweaver—a member of an ancient outcast sect of sorcerer-healers—could destroy Auraya's future. And her destiny has set her in conflict with a powerful and mysterious, black-clad sorcerer with but a single purpose: the total annihilation of the White. And he is not alone . . .

Condition: 10/10
~~Demon in my View~~ ~~by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes~~ SOLD!

Love from London by Emily Franklin

Retail price: $15.00
Selling for: $6.90
Synopsis:
After leaving boarding school to study at the London Academy of Drama and Music, Love Bukowski is learning a lot, especially about love. Too bad the guy she's falling for is off-limits. But she's got plenty to take her mind (if not her lips) off said British Boy. And it's not like there isn't enough going on back in the States. For starters, Love's dad has a new girlfriend, her Aunt Mable is fighting breast cancer, the guy she left behind hooked up with the biggest you-know-what on campus, and her vocal lessons keep getting harder. Maybe life is trying to tell her something-or maybe she's just distracted by all that London (and love) have to offer.
Comments:
Really good book. For anyone who loves London and exchange-program stories :) Great literature. Highly recommended.

Kite, by Melvin Burgess

Synopsis
Imagine being a boy who collects birds' eggs, and discovering that an extremely rare and endangered red kite is nesting in the woods by your own house! This is just the beginning of Taylor's story. The kite is "vermin," as far as malevolent landowner Mr. Harris is concerned, and he wants Taylor to destroy its eggs. The plot thickens, as Taylor battles his warring feelings of loyalty to his father, who must do his job to protect Mr. Harris's pheasants; respect for the beautiful bird; and desire to own the precious egg. When, through a tragedy of errors, a kite chick hatches, Taylor's feelings become even more confused.

Condition: Was used as sec 2 literature book, has minimal writing (only 2-3 lines!). Other than that, like new! Very readable!
Selling at: $4

lil' bit About Me
(If you don't wanna know about me you can just skip this part, meanie.)

Okay I am sixteen and I am obsessed with books. Ask my friends, they'd know. I have an entire bookshelf on which books are arranged in alphabetical order according to author's name and I have to touch a book or my guitar or a netball at least once a day. I loan my books to my friends but have to keep a list because I always forget who I lend my stuff out to.

What you see here in my gallery are only a portion of my books because after I moved house, I lost track of quite a number of my reads :(

I am kinda obsessed with Harry Potter and Alex Rider series (omg HBP coming out soon!) plus Private series.

I am nice, but don't make me angry.
