This week on The Book Smugglers:
In honor of BEA, we’ve decided to throw a virtual party – that is, this week wll be known henceforth as “BookExpo America Appreciation Week”! In which we review books we received at BEA.
On Monday, Thea reviews (at long last!!!) Sapphique, dystopian YA novel sequel to the awesome Incarceron.
Tuesday, Ana reviews Seth Baumgartner’s Love Manifesto by Eric Luper, a Contemporary YA novel.
On Wednesday, Thea reviews The Enemy by Charles Higson – another YA post-apocalyptic novel, in which everyone over the age of 16 has turned into insatiable zombies.
Thursday, Ana reviews yet another Contemporary YA Friend Is Not A Verb by Daniel Ehrenhaft.
And on Friday, we close out the week with a joint review of Go, Mutants! by Larry Doyle.
Until Monday, we remain…
Ana’s BEA Loot, waiting to be shelved…

About Us
We are two completely obsessed, sad, sick addicts when it comes to books. Faced with threats and cynicisms from our significant others and because of the massive amounts of time and money we spend at Amazon.com, we resorted to getting books delivered to our offices and then smuggling them into our homes (in huge handbags) to avoid detection. Here we found a perfect outlet for our obsession! Reviews, recommendations, and other ponderings are our specialty.Sponsors

Awesome loot! So. Many. Books!
I can’t wait for your review of Sapphique and The Enemy.
Thanks, ladies! I’m so excited to read The Iron King. Looking forward to your reviews – Seth Baumgartner is in my TBR pile and I’ve had my eye on Friend Is Not a Verb and The Enemy.
The books look great, Sapphique has an amazing cover!
Thanks for the shout out, Smugglers.
Yeay! The gif works!
