starsthatshineI have a feeling I need a book icon because I have a feeling I'll be reading a lot this summer.
Remember how I mentioned in my previous entry that I was going to the library? Well, after returning my books I saw that I had some extra time until my bus departed, so I went back in and I went to the young adult section and walked out with A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray. I have no idea if it's at all good or anything but it seemed like something right up my alley. I need to read more fantasy and this seemed as good a book as any.

What do you think? It seems good?

According to the writer's website the book is about the following:
"Gemma Doyle, sixteen and proud, must leave the warmth of her childhood home in India for the rigid Spence Academy, a cold finishing school outside of London, followed by a stranger who bears puzzling warnings. Using her sharp tongue and agile mind, she navigates the stormy seas of friendship with high-born daughters and her roommate, a plain scholarship case. As Gemma discovers that her mother's death may have an otherworldly cause, and that she herself may have innate powers, Gemma is forced to face her own frightening, yet exciting destiny . . . if only she can believe in it."
What do you think? It seems good?
