How do I put a book on hold?

coverThe Diamond of Darkhold:
The Fourth Book of Ember

coverBeen There, Survived That: Getting Through Freshman Year of High School
Written by Real Teens

 

 

coverJust Listen
by Sarah Dessen
Annabel Greene is the girl who has everything. At least that's who she plays in commercials... In real life, though, Annabel is the girl who has nothing: no best friend since her friendship with mean-but-exciting Sophie ended, no peace at home while her older sister's eating disorder preoccupies the family, and no ability to tell anyone what's on her mind. And then she meets Owen Armstrong-intense, obsessed with music, and determined to always tell the truth, no matter what the consequences. Can a girl who hates confrontation find a way to connect with a guy who thrives on it? And can Annabel find the courage to tell what really happened the night she and Sophie stopped being friends?


coverGhostgirl: Rest in Popularity

After dying, high school senior Charlotte Usher is as invisible to nearly everyone as she always felt, but despite what she learns in a sort of alternative high school for dead teens, she clings to life while seeking a way to go to the Fall Ball with the boy of her dreams.
