What are you currently reading?
Genuine Sweet by Faith Harkey
Genuine has just learned that she has the ability to fetch wishes for people, a skill her Gram warns her to only use to help other people. She quickly learns that wishes can really improve people's lives and she enjoys helping as many people as she can. Life finally begins to seem better, until she starts to encounter problems that wishes can't fix.

What I've read of this book so far reminds me of Savvy by Ingrid Law, a book that I really enjoyed.I look forward to finishing this book and seeing if that resemblance remains.
 
What did you recently finish reading?
Kissing Ted Callahan (and Other Guys) by Amy Spalding
Neither Riley nor Reid has ever been in a relationship so when they discover their bandmates in a compromising position, they make a pact to help each other out. They will record their interactions with the opposite sex in a notebook and give each other dating hints. As they go to increasingly great lengths to catch their crushes, the information in the notebook becomes more sensitive and their relationships with other people become more strained.

I don't think anyone could read that description and not predict disaster. It's a rather predictable plot built on a somewhat shaky foundation. Definitely not my favorite book this week.
 
What do you think you will read next?
The Queen of Bright and Shiny Things by Ann Aguirre
The description of this teen romance hints at some emotional complexity and painful pasts for the main characters.
