In an effort to support the ladies over at Books from Bleh to Basically Amazing and Chick Loves Lit, all of my book watches for the month of November will all be contemporary YA. I post upcoming releases that I’m looking forward to reading every Friday and to be honest, most of the books that I’m usually looking forward to are all contemporary YA books anyway.
This week’s book is Thou Shalt Not Road Trip by Antony John. Check out the blurb:
One crazy road trip that’s a mix of rejection, redemption, and romance
When sixteen-year-old Luke’s book, Hallelujah, becomes a national bestseller, his publishing house sends him on a cross-country book tour with his older brother, Matt, as chauffeur. But when irresponsible Matt offers to drive Luke’s ex—soul mate, Fran, across the country too, things get a little crazy. On the trip, Luke must loosen up, discover what it truly means to have faith, and do what it takes to get the girl he loves.
Told with Antony John’s signature wit and authenticity, and featuring smart, singular characters who jump off the page and into your heart, this story is a spiritual awakening and rockin’ road trip in one.
This sounds like something that is right up my alley of a good reading time. Being stuck in a car on a road trip with your ex has got to be pure torture and I’m all about it. I enjoyed that storyline in The Two-Way Street by Lauren Barnholdt so I’m hopeful that Antony John’s spin on the storyline will work fine just for me, especially since I thoroughly enjoyed his debut novel.
According to the Barnes and Noble website, this book comes out on April 12, 2012 so mark your calendars lovely readers. This book promises to be a good time and I’m so going to be there to enjoy it.

..and that’s your scoop!
