Eternal Ones
by Kirsten Miller

I absolutely loved this book! It had everything a good teen book needs, like mystery, romance, history, and crime. Haven, the main character, lives a simple life in Tennessee, but she has memories of New York in a different era. Her memories are actually part of her past life as Constance. Haven's grandmother calls her crazy and tries to stifle her remembering until one day she comes across the picture of a movie star that she can't ignore. The movie star, Ian, is actually the love of her previous life. Haven decides to run away to New York and confront Ian and her past. Things get much more complicated when Haven starts meeting other reincarnated people from the past, and she is not sure who to trust. Definitely read this book, which will hit the library shelves in August!


Glimpse
Carol Lynch Williams

When I saw this book on the bistro cart I quickly grabbed it up. The Chosen One was absolutely fabulous, so I was super excited to read her most recent book, Glimpse. These two books were very different, but if I had to describe one similar characteristic it would be that I read both of these books in one day (a very good sign). What makes this book really special is that it is written in free verse form (like Ellen Hopkins). Some people are turned away by this format, but I do not mind it as long as it still reads like a story in my head. This deals with the relationship between sisters, and mothers and daughters. The story begins when Hope's sister Lizzie attempts suicide and is put in a mental hospital. Hope is shocked by this turn of events, so she begins to search for answers. Hope find the answers right in front of her, and the answers aren't pretty (I am not giving away anything by saying so). For teens who enjoy dark and sometimes gritty stories, this book is for you!

Remember Bistro Book Club meets on Wednesday's 4-5pm at the Central Library, Teen Center!
