YA BOOK CARNIVAL is a creation of Shootingstarsmag.com. The official carnival dates are June 21-June 27. Bloggers everywhere will be holding giveaway contests or surfing the blogs to enter contests.
Here at READINGJUNKY'S READING ROOST, I'm holding my first ever giveaway contest. Since just about every book that I get my hands on goes on my classroom book shelves, I'm giving away a $20 BORDERS gift card to the lucky winner. That will allow the winner to pick their own special prize.
Here are the details of my giveaway contest. (The winner will be picked randomly.)
1. +1 = Leave a comment and include the title of the best book you've read so far this summer.
(Please include a valid email address so I can let you know if you are the lucky winner.)
2. +2 = Become a follower. (Please include a valid email address.)
Contest ends June 30. (PS - U.S. and Canada entries only.)

This is a tough question! Since I haven't technically read it yet, Warbreaker can't be counted, so Generation Dead by Daniel Waters fits!

I would say either A Kiss in Time by Alex Flinn or The Sorceress by Michael Scott. I love The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series and The Sorceress was just as good, if not better, than the first two books!

I've read a lot of books so far this summer, but I think that the best has been the new Diana Peterfreund book (the last book in her Secret Society Series). It's probably due to the fact that I had been waiting almost a year to get my hands on it! It was called Tap and Gown

The best book I've read so far this summer is Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side. But this may change, because one of the librarians at my local library went to BEA and brought back an ARC of Beautiful Creatures and I checked it out (yes, ARCs circulate at my library!)
