Since this blog touts itself as being the "best book gossip in town," I figured it was high time that I made with gossip. So today I am starting a new feature: New Book Tuesday. Each Tuesday I will feature two new or upcoming releases that I am looking forward to reading (one adult, one young adult). This week's featured books:

For Young Adult Readers...

Fat Boy Swim by Catherine Forde

Fat, bullied and the worst player ever to lumber onto a football pitch, it's no wonder that teenage Jimmy Kelly lacks confidence. But life isn't entirely hopeless. Jimmy is an amazing cook and often has a mysterious dream that he is destined to become a swimmer. With the unlikely help of tough sports coach GI Joe, Jimmy decides to explore his hidden depths and discovers a surprising secret about his past along the way.

For Adult Readers...

The first book in a humorous, paranormal thriller series featuring Aisling Grey. Aisling finds her true calling when she travels to Paris to deliver a medieval object that is part of a set sought after for the power it wields.
