New Feature: All I Want For Christmas Is...

So it's the time of year again where I start thinking about what books I'm putting on my Christmas wishlist. I thought I'd start a feature where I choose a book each week leading up to Christmas and say why it's made it onto my wishlist – and I'd love to see what books everyone else is hoping to get! So if you want to make your own blog post about it, you can link up down below (or if you just want to mention it in the comments, you can do that too).

Also yes, I did make that Christmas "tree" of books from scratch! :D It was way more difficult than I had anticipated! Good thing I'm not going into architecture...

My first pick:

Songs for a Teenage Nomad by Kim Culbertson

From Goodreads:
After living in twelve places in eight years with her drifting mother, fourteen-year-old Calle Smith finds herself in Andreas Bay, California, at the start of ninth grade. Fearful of putting down roots anywhere, but armed with her song journal, she moves to her own sound track through a world that bounces her between the school drama crowd, a mysterious loner, and an unlikely boy who will become her first love. But it's the troubling truth she uncovers about her father that forces Calle to face the toughest choice of her young life.

I love music - writing songs, playing guitar, listening to music - and I've heard some really positive things about this one. Calle sounds like someone you could easily sympathize with (who would want to be bounced around that much in their childhood?) and I like that music is something she relies on.
