"Soon and very soon boys at school would start taking notice. Attention was slow in the coming at a school where boys thought that Charlie's Angels starred Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and some Asian chick. But a girl the likes of Naomi did not go unnoticed for long.So when she asked me if I wanted to go to church with her that night, a place I resented with every fiber of my being, my answer was a foregone conclusion."-Page 32 of Crossing by Andrew Xia Fukuda
I just put up a new survey for Shut Up! I'm Reading. It's pretty short and should only take up a minute of your time, so if you'd take it then I'd really appreciate it.
I'm hooked.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Sounds deep :)
ReplyDeleteVery intriguing ... might have to look this one up and add it to my wishlist! :)
ReplyDeleteMy TT this week is on Sherrilyn Kenyon's new YA release, Immortal!
Sounds interesting, I'll look out for this one :) I'm always interested in books that I suppose could be considered a bit controversial, and I think Crossing sounds a bit like that.
ReplyDeleteP.S. You got an award at my blog! http://aseverebookaddict.blogspot.com/2010/06/award-again.html
