I can't resist wandering into bookshops and looking around for hours. I used to haunt libraries. I love books about all sorts, I don't think I'm too fussy. Right now I'm challenging myself to read all the unread books on my shelves, because I have a weakness for buying more books than I can read.

Read it for free! The Program - Suzanne Young
In Sloane’s world, true feelings are forbidden, teen suicide is an epidemic, and the only solution is The Program.
Sloane knows better than to cry in front of anyone. With suicide now an international epidemic, one outburst could land her in The Program, the only proven course of treatment. Sloane’s parents have already lost one child; Sloane knows they’ll do anything to keep her alive. She also knows that everyone who’s been through The Program returns as a blank slate. Because their depression is gone—but so are their memories.
This is a quick post just to tell that an e-book version of the The Program, by Suzanne Young, is free for reading on Pulseit this week. For those who don't know Pulseit is a online community of Simon and Schuster where they put extra information on their teen books. You can read excerpts, have chats with the autors and also sometimes they put an entire book there for free. It's a really cool place to get to know new books.
The Program have a really cool premise, sci-fi, dystopia-ish and also sounds a little creepy. It will definetly be my next read.
Just don't forget: the book will be up for reading until 26 of may. After this date the book can't be accessed.
