Time Magazine covers 5 "Great" New Books.

Unfortunately, the Chosen Five includes Small Steps.  Dude.  It's new, I guess, but it ain't great.  Not by a long shot.  A long, long shot. 

Granted, I haven't read Clique #5, but if it's anything like the first in the series, it SO TOTALLY doesn't deserve to be profiled as a "Great Book".

And puh-LEASE.  Could the media get a new YA lit hook?  I am SO OVER the "There's life after Harry Potter" schtick. 

I would like to read The Book Thief, though.  Enthusiasm sounds fun, too.  Then again, I'm not really sure if I can trust the reviewer.
