Next Up: The Squad


Quick Look: Up next on the Random Buzzers book list is The Squad where the Bayport High School cheerleaders aren't what they seem. Bayport's varsity cheer squad is made up of the hottest of the hot. But this A-list is dangerous in more ways than one. The Squad is actually a cover up for the most highly trained group of underage government operatives the United States has ever assembled.

Recap: Opposite of Invisible

January's buzzworthy book was The Opposite of Invisible by Liz Gallagher! We got to explore together the journey of Alice as she learns what it is like to go from being 'invisible' to anything but.

In case you missed out on exploring The Opposite of Invisible with us, have no fear! You can still get in on the action by reading the first few chapters here on the site, or snagging a copy in the store. Then head over to the buzz boards to get in on the discussion – and don’t forget to participate in activities related to the book to earn Buzz Bucks!

Quick glance at The Opposite of Invisible:

Alice and Jewel have been best friends since grade school. Together, they don’t need anyone else, and together they blend into the background of high school. Invisible. To Alice, Jewel is the opposite of invisible. Jewel is her best friend who goes to Indie concerts and art shows with her. Jewel scoffs at school dances with her. Alice is so comfortable around Jewel that she can talk to him about almost anything. But she can’t tell him that she likes the cool, popular Simon. And then Simon asks her to the school dance the same day that Jewel kisses her for the first time. Still, she can’t say no to Simon. He seems like the easy choice, the one she’s attracted to, the one she’s ready for. But will it mean losing Jewel? In a bright debut novel set against the lively backdrop of Seattle, Alice must learn the difference between love and a crush, and what it means to be yourself when you’re not sure who that is yet.

I'm so glad I got to share The Opposite of Invisible with you!!

Welcome, Readers!

Well, we didn't quite launch on January 1st, but we thought it would be great to start the new year off with a new look, jam packed with an upgraded slew of features including Groups, Badges, and a super duper custom Profile including a Bookshelf, where you can search for and add to your profile all of the wonderful books you've read.

Pictured is my actual bookshelf. It is new and holds most of my serious books, I call them the un-funs. You can see my Buzz Bookshelf here. I can't wait to see yours!

For those of you who have just found us, WELCOME! And for those of your faithful Readers, I hope you love our new look and I'm glad you have been with me on this journey.

This year is going to be filled with tons of new features, chats with some of your favorite authors, exclusive first looks at some awesome Random House teen titles, and enough books to tip your bookshelf over.

Take a look around the site and then stop back in and tell me what you think!

Make sure you fill out your new profile and snag a sweet 1000 Buzz Bucks just for telling us who you are, and of course, your favorite tunes. I love reading music recommendations.

Until We Read Again,

Head Buzzer
