I Hate You, Kelly Donahue by Mark Svartz
As a little kid, a boy would
pinch the girl he liked. As a grown-up, Mark Svartz plans her ultimate
demise through a number of twisted murder plots that involve lead pipes,
escape routes, and David Hasselhoff. Some guys never grow up.
This book chronicles the eight
months, sixteen days, and some-odd hours since Mark first laid eyes on
the despicable, wretched wench he's destined to fight to the death.
Every note, thought, IM, email, Post-It, and craigslist ad looking for a
crime-scene clean-up is meticulously catalogued in Mark's journal.
Is it a diary of a mad man? Or a man madly in love? Who cares? It's seriously messed up. And seriously funny.
Becoming immortal wasn’t supposed to be the easy part. Though Kate is about to be crowned Queen of the Underworld, she’s as isolated as ever. And despite her growing love for Henry, ruler of the Underworld, he’s becoming ever more distant and secretive. Then, in the midst of Kate’s coronation, Henry is abducted by the only being powerful enough to kill him: the King of the Titans.
As the other gods prepare for a war that could end them all, it is up to Kate to save Henry from the depths of Tartarus. But in order to navigate the endless caverns of the Underworld, Kate must enlist the help of the one person who is the greatest threat to her future.
Henry’s first wife, Persephone.

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
It’s just a small story really,
about among other things: a girl, some words, an accordionist, some
fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist-fighter, and quite a lot of thievery. .
. .
Set during World War II in
Germany, Markus Zusak’s groundbreaking new novel is the story of Liesel
Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich. Liesel scratches out a
meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something
she can’t resist–books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster
father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her
neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in
her basement before he is marched to Dachau.

I Hate You Kelly Donahue looks really cool! I have a thing for books that look like scrapbooks... it feeds my short attention span.
