Sarah's Picks: (As a side note, because I have to be different and contrary and can't follow rules, and also because I read a lot of books this year with really gross male characters in them - a rant for another time - I'm picking my favorite Book Significant Others Regardless of Gender.  So there.)

Sarah's Picks: Seraphina By  Rachel Hartman Published on July 10, 2012 Published by Random House Books for Young Readers A few of my picks, this one included, are sort of cheating because I haven't read them yet, but I'm sure I'll be forgiven in the name of pretty book covers, and they're on my to-read lists, anyway. Maybe I'll get to them in 2013! The line art on this one is exquisite -- so very detailed, and evocative of the fantasy world that the story inhabits. I'm a sucker for a well-drawn cover, and th...
