Heist Society, Ally Carter. Improbably wealthy and talented career-criminal teens plan, execute art theft. Didn't grab me. Might make a fun (though ridiculous) movie, though; I can't offhand think of a good heist book, but I often like them in movies or TV shows.

Impulse, Steven Gould. Third in the Jumper series, and quite good. More strictly fun than the second one. Recommended to those who like deconstructing superheroes and don't mind teen power fantasies.

When We Wake, Karen Healey. I'm sure someday Karen Healey will write something that I won't like but this wasn't it. YA scifi about social justice with an appealing protagonist with a nice distinct voice. Hit me right in the Steve Rogers feels. ::grin::

PSA

Target brand cake-frosting-in-a-can: NOT VEGETARIAN. Lard with sugar mixed in. Fortunately I realized this *before* we fed it to any vegetarians. But it had honestly never occurred to me that cake frosting might come in a non-vegetarian variety, and so probably I am not the last person to be aware of this?
