I feel like I could write a recommendation every day for a different Elizabeth Scott novel. She is that prolific and that good. Scott is the author of six young adult novels and has three more coming out next year. Her output is a tremendous feat, because her books are wonderful, including the recent ”Stealing Heaven.”

It’s the story of reluctant 18-year-old thief Dani, who’s been trained by her mom from a very early age for a life of crime. Dani’s had enough silver for a lifetime though and doesn’t want to spend any more time pretending to be a maid, or breaking in through a dog door, or plotting how to nick the silver in the fancy house down the street. But her mom can’t resist. Silver is a siren song to her, so she continues to live a life on the road, taking Dani from town to town, never settling down, always plotting where to steal. Then they land in the beach town of Heaven for a few weeks, where Dani makes friends for the first time and also meets a guy.

Ah, but the path to young love is never easy. Because guess what? He’s a man in blue. Talk about conflict — the thief falls for the cop.

Read this book!!!

Oh, the kissing. Yes, the kissing. My God, the kissing.

“Perfect You” by Elizabeth Scott is the perfect kissing book. If you want a hefty dose of YA butterflies, buy this book. You’ll fall in love with the guy, with the girl, and with the endless kisses they share. OK, “Perfect You” is about much more than kissing. Because as wonderful as kissing is, smooches alone cannot sustain a storyline. Characters and conflict do and “Perfect You” has plenty of that because the main character Kate is faced with quadruple teen dilemmas – best friend has ditched her, Dad is making her crazy with his crazy new job, parents have mucho money trouble, and, oh yeah, the boy she has a mega crush on likes her too but she can’t accept that he does so they just kiss instead.

“Perfect You” doesn’t take the easy road and just ride along on the lip-locked high. Kate has to face up to everything she lost, everything she is losing and everything she is preventing herself from having. What she winds up with will be worth it.

This book is why I love YA.

When I was on girls getaway vacation in Mexico two years ago I finished reading Water for Elephants on the beach one afternoon. I read the last line, closed the book, and immediately picked up the next book I had with me and started reading The Next Thing on My List. My girlfriend Michelle gave me a shocked look. How could I move on so quickly — with literally no time in between — from one book to the next?

It’s just what I do. I love reading so much that if I’m in a reading state of place or mind I want to keep doing that. So I move on to the next one. That doesn’t mean I didn’t love a book. That doesn’t mean it didn’t linger with me. It just means there’s a hell of a lot of books in the world and I want to get to more, more, more!

What do you do? Can you move seamlessly from finishing one book to starting another without skipping a beat? Do you need a day or two, an hour or two, or a second or to to let it linger?
