Where it Began - Ann Redisch Stampler

Gabby lived under the radar until her makeover. Way under. But when she started her senior year as a blonder, better-dressed version of herself, she struck gold: Billy Nash believed she was a the flawless girl she was pretending to be. The next eight months with Billy were bliss...Until the night Gabby woke up on the ground next to the remains of his BMW without a single memory of how she got there. And Billy's nowhere to be found. All Gabby wants is to make everything perfect again. But getting her life back isn't difficult, it's impossible. Because nothing is the same, and Gabby's beginning to realize she's missed more than a few danger signs along the way. It's time for Gabby to face the truth, even if it means everything changes. Especially if it means everything changes.

Girl Meets Boy - Various Authors

What do guys and girls really think? Twelve of the most dynamic and engaging YA authors writing today team up for this one-of-a-kind collection of "he said/she said" stories-he tells it from the guy's point of view, she tells it from the girl's. These are stories of love and heartbreak. There's the good-looking jock who falls for a dangerous girl, and the flipside, the toxic girl who never learned to be loved; the basketball star and the artistic (and shorter) boy she never knew she wanted; the gay boy looking for love online and the girl who could help make it happen. Each story in this unforgettable collection teaches us that relationships are complicated-because there are two sides to every story.

Smile for the Camera: a memoir - Kelle James

James pens a haunting, unforgettable memoir of her experience as a teen model in New York City--the true story of escaping abuse in a small-town to encounter more in the big city and the way one girl overcame them both.

Elephant bookends

(These were on sale at Books-a-Million for $5 a piece)

Little Book Holder

(Not super impressed with this. You can only hold 20 pages tops at a time. Maybe I'm using it wrong, but it just doesn't seem to work as well as I imagined I guess.)

So that's what I got this week. What did you all get?
