Then, on the first day of junior year, it's immediately clear that Bett has to shift gears. The driver of the small motley crew on the bus with her is also the school's track coach who is hell-bent on recruiting them all for his team. And running happens to be Bett's favorite thing to do, which means it's the last thing she'll allow herself to do, or else she'll have to minus each run out with a dozen Hostess cupcakes. Not only that, but there's a vandal destroying all the art at the school, and Bett finds herself and her new teammates at the forefront of the rebellion against the vandal; despite the fact that this rebellion involves the very same fizzicle feats Bett swore she'd never do again. Suddenly Bett's life is full of pluses, too many to balance with even a grocery store's worth of cupcakes.

Can you love someone you can never touch? Stella Grant likes to be in control–even though her totally out of control lungs have sent her in and out of the hospital most of her life. At this point, what Stella needs to control most is keeping herself away from anyone or anything that might pass along an infection and jeopardize the possibility of a lung transplant. Six feet apart. No exceptions. The only thing Will Newman wants to be in control of is getting out of this hospital. He couldn't care less about his treatments, or a fancy new clinical drug trial.

If he so much as breathes on Stella she could lose her spot on the transplant list. Either one of them could die. The only way to stay alive is to stay apart. But suddenly six feet doesn't feel like safety. It feels like punishment. What if they could steal back just a little bit of the space their broken lungs have stolen from them? Would five feet apart really be so dangerous if it stops their hearts from breaking too?

Carve the mark, Veronica Roth.

On a planet where violence and vengeance rule, in a galaxy where some are favoured by fate, everyone develops a currentgift, a unique power meant to shape the future. While most benefit from their currentgifts, Akos and Cyra do not their gifts make them vulnerable to others' control. Can they reclaim their gifts, their fates, and their lives, and reset the balance of power in this world? Cyra is the sister of the brutal tyrant who rules the Shotet people. Cyra's currentgift gives her pain and power something her brother exploits, using her to torture his enemies. But Cyra is much more than just a blade in her brother's hand: she is resilient, quick on her feet, and smarter than he knows. Akos is from the peace-loving nation of Thuvhe, and his loyalty to his family is limitless. Though protected by his unusual currentgift, once Akos and his brother are captured by enemy Shotet soldiers, Akos is desperate to get his brother out alive no matter what the cost. When Akos is thrust into Cyra's world, the enmity between their countries and families seems insurmountable. They must decide to help each other to survive or to destroy one another.
