The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor
I was browsing around the internet about a week before I bought this book (May 18) and I was intrigued by the idea of a reworking of Lewis Carroll's classic, Alice in Wonderland that claimed that the classic was actually a book full of lies and misrepresentations.
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
I remember watching the Masterpiece Theatre version (2006) of this novel a few years back and at the time I felt a small connection with Jane and her plight.
Lost by Gregory Maguire
I picked this book up as I had heard great things about it's author, Gregory Maguire and his other works specifically Wicked and Son of a Witch.
Join Me by Danny Wallace
This book was sent to me for my birthday by my lovely friend, Lorraine. She said in her card that the moment she saw this book she thought of me. I still have no clue why of course 
Possible spoilers below!!
Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
Okay I bought this book on the recommendation of a few people most notably (because I love her dearly), Lorraine. I was a little bit skeptical mostly because the local bookstore only sold it in hardcover for $25 CDN and I rarely buy hardcover unless I know I will love and adore the book (in this case I do).
The main plot of this book is the age old theme of star crossed lovers, which gets to everyone no matter who they might be. The story starts off with Isabella Swan telling the reader what has happened and reflecting upon her life as she is about to die at the hands of a predator. Flashback to the start of the Isabella's trip to her father's home in Forks, WA so that she can live with him during her last half-year (two semesters) of high school rather than move to Florida or somewhere else with her mom and her new minor baseball league boyfriend. She arrives in Forks to a new and free vehicle thanks to her dad, whom behind his back she calls Charlie.
