This week:
All You Get is Me by Yvonne Prinz
January 1st, 2011
Synopsis from Goodreads:
What happens when a city girl is transplanted onto a ramshackle organic farm in the middle of nowhere? Everything.
Sixteen-year-old Roar has been yanked from her city life and suddenly she’s a farm girl, albeit a reluctant one, selling figs at the farmers' market and developing her photographs in a rickety shed. And then she witnesses a crime that will throw the whole community into an uproar. Caught among the lure of a troublemaking friend, her love for a brooding boy, and her complicated feelings about her father’s human rights crusade, Roar is going to have to tackle it all. And with a camera around her neck, she’s capturing it all, too.
Yvonne Prinz and her novel The Vinyl Princess have ignited the teen blogosphere and entertainment media. Once again, she’s taken the pulse of culture and emerged with a book that is timely, quirky, and unforgettable.

This is so my kind of book. I love realistic fiction, and this has the potential to be funny, sweet, romantic, and inspiring all in one! I haven't read any of Prinz's other books, but I really want to! I think that this cover is really cool, especially the camara.
What are you waiting on?
