New YA: March 1-7.

Totally mega-super behind, but I find these round-ups so helpful, so please bear with me as I get caught up!

Also, I'm only listing paperbacks if I've read 'em. Otherwise I'll be here all night.

New hardbacks:

Ripper, by Stefan Petrucha:

While the descriptions of the original Ripper murders are gruesome, which may put off the squeamish, they're brief and infrequent, and the book is much more a detective-adventure story than a crime novel. It also straddles the line between middle grade and YA, so be sure that your more mature middle-grade readers don't miss it, especially if they're into adventurous historical fiction and/or mysteries.

Perception: A Clarity Novel, by Kim Harrington:

A solid little mystery—with some red herrings that tripped me up—about a likable sleuth who, in addition to the boy dramarama and the missing girl, has to deal with a pack of Mean Girls AND put up with having a telepathic mother. And Perception gets bonus points for wrapping up the love triangle, rather than spinning it out.

No Name Baby, by Nancy Bo Flood
Amazon.

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, by Jesse Andrews:

I loved it for Greg, who—unlike many a boy in books about cancer—is not wise, thoughtful, mature, sweet, generous, or even all that nice, but is real, relatable, slappable, and hilarious. I loved it for Earl, who is just plain wonderful—and who, even though Greg is so self-absorbed that he hardly even knows him, comes off as a real, believable person. A real, believable, hilarious person.

Freshman Year & Other Unnatural Disasters, by Meredith Zeitlin
Amazon.

The Final Four, by Paul Volponi
Amazon.

Daughters of the Sea #3: Lucy, by Kathryn Lasky
Amazon.

Curveball: The Year I Lost My Grip, by Jordan Sonnenblick: 

Pete is a likable narrator with a compelling voice, and it was nice to read a book with no real antagonists. It would have been easy for Sonnenblick to go the cliched I-quit-sports-and-found-out-my-old-friends-were-d-bags route, but AJ is a good (occasionally hilarious) friend throughout, and Pete's romance doesn't cause any real drama, either.

New paperbacks:

Consumed, by Kate Cann:

Consumed has the same muffled feel as Possessed, and while I, as the reader, never had any doubts as to who the villain was, I also never got frustrated with the characters for not confronting The Badness sooner. It worked.
