Four teenagers come together after several months apart. In previous years, they had put together a time capsule about their best summer with a friend who was dying. Now that their friend has passed, they reunite to open the box. (Summary from Goodreads)
I'm curious. I like ti add emotionally charged stories to my reading list, and I can't wait to see what these teenagers put in their capsule, what memories these items will evoke.

(The Illuminae Files, Book 2)
Author: Jay Kristoff & Amie Kaufman
Release Date: October 8, 2016
Published by: Knopf Books for Young Readers/PenguinRandomHouse
Moving to a space station at the edge of the galaxy was always going to be the death of Hanna's social life. Nobody said it might actually get her killed.
Hanna is the station captain's pampered daughter; Nik the reluctant member of a notorious crime family. But while the pair are struggling with the realities of life aboard the galaxy's most boring space station, little do they know that Kady Grant and the Hypatia are headed right toward Heimdall, carrying news o the Kerenza invasion.
When an elite BeiTech strike team invades the station, Hanna and Nik are thrown together to defend their home. But alien predators are picking off the station residents one by one, and a malfunction in the station's wormhole means the space-time continuum might be ripped in two before dinner. Soon Hanna and Nik aren't just fighting for their own survival; the fate of everyone on the Hypatia - and possibly the known universe - is in their hands.
But relax. They've totally got this. They hope.
Once again told through a compelling dossier of emails, IMs, classified files, transcripts, and schematics, Gemini raises the stakes of the Illuminae Files, hurling readers into an enthralling new story that will leave them breathless. (Summary from Goodreads)
I LOVE book 1 in this series! It is a completely different way of writing and telling a story then I had ever read before. A wow! Have you read it?

Book 1 = Illuminae
Author: Kami Garcia
Release Date: October 4, 2016
Published by: Imprint/MacMillan
I've become an expert at avoiding things that could hurt me--which means I will figure out how to stay away from Marco Leone.
Seventeen-year-old Frankie Devereux would do anything to forget the past. Haunted by the memory of her boyfriend's death, she lives her life by one dangerous rule: Nothing matters. At least, that's what Frankie tells herself after a reckless mistake forces her to leave her privileged life in the Heights to move in with her dad--an undercover cop. She transfers to a public high school in the Downs, where fistfights don't faze anyone and illegal street racing is more popular than football.
Marco Leone is the fastest street racer in the Downs. Tough, sexy, and hypnotic, he makes it impossible for Frankie to ignore him--and how he makes her feel. But the risks Marco takes for his family could have devastating consequences for them both. When Frankie discovers his secret, she has to make a choice. Will she let the pain of the past determine her future? Or will she risk what little she has left to follow her heart? (Summary from Goodreads)
I really like the Castor Chronicles that Kami wrote with Margaret Stohl, so I can't wait to give this one a try. Plus, it sounds SO GOOD!
