Across the Universe by Beth Revis

This is an incredible book! I usually don't like sci-fi, but this was amazing. Amy is leaving everything behind on Earth to go into space with her parents. They will be cyogenically frozen for 300 years on a ship until they are woken up and they will start their own civilization. Amy is marked as nonessential. Her parents are the only reason she's going. One day, after she is frozen, she is unplugged, and begins to melt earlier than she's supposed to. A boy, the next in line to be leader of the ship becomes fascinated with her. But she will soon learn that life on a spaceship is much more different than on Earth, and more surprise is in store. This book includes romance, the battle to understand what is right, and what makes a good leader.

Fever Crumb by Philip Reeve

This was another REALLY good book. This was really thought-provoking. It takes place sometime in the future, where the only memories of our civilization are those left by artifacts. In London, Fever Crumb is an Engineer. She is the only girl with such a prestigious position. Engineers believe in always being rational, surpressing emotion, and hair is unnecessary. She is happily living in Godshawk's head with Mr. Crumb and the rest of the Enginners, until one day, a man requests her specifically for a job, which changes everything she ever knew about herself, history, and the universe. This book is Post-apocalyptic steampunk done right. Highly recommend it.

Hourglass by Myra McEntire

This was one of those books that I just couldn't put down. It was good straight through. It's about a girl who's parents died a few months ago in a skiing accident. She lives with her brother and his wife, and she's really happy. Except for the visions. Where you or I would find empty space, she sees ghosts from the past, walking around just like anyone else. Most of the time, she can tell them apart. But sometimes, she ends up talking to thin air. She has one loyal friend who has a few secrets of her own, and her brother is fiercely loyal. So when he calls a consultant to try to help her, she agrees. The person she meets changes her life. This is a story about theoretical physics, superheroes, and love that transcends time. I definitely couldn't put it down.
