My selection for this week is:
Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins

Pre-Order via Book Depository
Publication Date: September 29th 2011

Pre-Order via Book Depository
Summary from Goodreads:
Budding designer Lola Nolan doesn’t believe in fashion . . . she believes in costume. The more expressive the outfit -- more sparkly, more fun, more wild -- the better. But even though Lola’s style is outrageous, she’s a devoted daughter and friend with some big plans for the future. And everything is pretty perfect (right down to her hot rocker boyfriend) until the dreaded Bell twins, Calliope and Cricket, return to the neighborhood.
When Cricket -- a gifted inventor -- steps out from his twin sister’s shadow and back into Lola’s life, she must finally reconcile a lifetime of feelings for the boy next door.
What I think:
Honestly,is there anyone out there who has yet to read Anna and the French Kiss????Well,if there is even a single one,then hurry and pick this book up immediately!
If you have read Anna then you can totally understand why I'm dying to read Lola!I've been waiting to pick this book up since I first heard it would be published!

I am another one guilty of never having read Anna and the French Kiss. I read Anna Dressed in Blood though! lol There is such a buzz about Anna and Lola, I'm going to have to see what all the fuss is about eventually!
