After the disappointment that was The Thin Man, I turned back to YA.
First I read Model Misfit by Holly Smale, sequel to Geek Girl and just as much fun as the first book (contemporary YA really isn't my thing, and girl-turns-model definitely isn't my thing, but those books are just so much fun to read).
And tonight I finished Not a Drop to Drink by Mindy McGinnis - a sort of post-apocalyptic (well... I wouldn't really call it that, just really hard times?) survival story, which was pleasantly grim and didn't go for the softer solutions more often than not, but although I did like it well enough, I suspect it's one of those books I'll have forgotten all about in the next few days.
