I give great thanks to the galley gods for the following five books that I cannot wait to read.

Spring is busting out all over (actually it snowed in my neighborhood yesterday, but a girl can dream, can’t she?) which means it’s time to review the bumper crop of crisp new 2013 ARCS that are flooding my mailbox. I will definitely add her selections to my spring reading list. When not reading or writing, she enjoys quilting, social networking, and eating out in New York City’s amazing restaurants. Jennifer is also the author of Reading Rants: A Guide to Books that Rock! published by Neal-Schuman. She has served on several national youth book award committees through the American Library Association. She is also a reality TV junkie, novice foodie, and iPad-obsessed, collector of original SVH paperbacks. Jennifer is a YA triple threat: an author, middle school librarian, and book reviewer. Her blog Reading Rants is entertaining, smart, and sassy, like her.

When I think of exceptional YA bloggers, Jennifer Hubert Swan always comes to mind. By Nicki Richesin, The Children’s Book Review
