Juliette hasn't touched anyone in exactly 264 days. The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette's touch is fatal. As long as she doesn't hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war- and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body.

Now is not the time for Carmen to fall in love. And Jeremy is hands-down the wrong guy for her to fall for. He is infuriating, arrogant, and the only person who can stand in the way of Carmen getting the one thing she wants most: to win the prestigious Guarneri competition. Carmen's whole life is violin, and until she met Jeremy, her whole focus was winning. But what if Jeremy isn't just hot...what if Jeremy is better? Carmen is sick of not feeling anything on stage and even more sick of always doing what she’s told, doing what's expected. Sometimes, being on top just means you have a long way to fall....

"I do not remember being bitten. I wish I did, for then I would know the creature who did this to me and I would have a purpose, to track him down and repay him for the poisoned gift he gave me."

Back in the 13th Century, Will was destined to be Earl of Mercia. He never lived to inherit his title, struck down by a strange illness and buried beneath the city walls.

High school senior Justina Griffith was never the girl who dreamed of going to prom. Designer dresses and strappy heels? Not her thing. So she never expected her best friend, Ian Clark, to ask her.

Ian, who always passed her the baseball bat handle first. Ian, who knew exactly when she needed red licorice. Ian, who promised her the most amazing night at prom.

And then ditched her.

As Jack Chelsea struggles to accept his position as leader, Killian steps in as a tyrannical replacement.

When the situation doesn't seem like it can get much worse, Dustin distances himself from Amanda.

Now, as you probably know by now, I'm in Africa, which means I'm thousands of miles from my mailbox. If you're missing the big picture, I have zero clue what's in my mailbox right now. For that reason, I've decided to show you my new best friends here in South Africa - and they can suffice as my "mailbox" for now. We're headed back to Pretoria (home) tonight, so I'll catch up on all my blogging shtuff.






You know, just a boa constrictor and a corn snake...around my neck.







Yup, that's a meerkat. I named him Timon, and yes, this was in the wild.









Just an elephant that later sprayed me with water. I died, then I died again.






This is from our porch in Zebula. If you look to the right, there are zebras. Yes. It is that cool.

So Shelly by Ty Roth
Published: February 8, 2011

Until now, high school junior, John Keats, has only tiptoed near the edges of the vortex that is schoolmate and literary prodigy, Gordon Byron. That is, until their mutual friend, Shelly, drowns in a sailing accident.

After stealing Shelly's ashes from her wake at Trinity Catholic High School, the boys set a course for the small Lake Erie island where Shelly's body had washed ashore and to where she wished to be returned. It would be one last "so Shelly" romantic quest. At least that's what they think.
