My Thoughts: I know that this book isn’t new but I had to blog about it anyway! I read it in November and absolutely loved it!! It gives you so much to think about and discuss! I’ve passed it around to a number of teachers and students that I work with and they’ve really enjoyed… Read more »
My Thoughts: You have to love a book that starts out by disproving the adage “You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friends nose.” John Green and David Levithan tell this story in alternating chapters. All of the odd chapters are told by John Green’s Will… Read more »
Okay, I admit it, I like these books. The reason this is difficult for me to admit is that I am not a huge fan of romance. Actually, maybe it’s just the connotation that I think of when I hear that a book is a “romance.” But, as I said, I like these. I like… Read more »
My Thoughts: I randomly picked this book up at the bookstore yesterday. I vaguely remember hearing about it as a National Book Award finalist but that’s it. The cover is what really caught my attention. I really didn’t have any expectations going in to it. This is the story of a sixteen-year-old girl named Keturah…. Read more »

So, I haven’t been blogging as regularly as I’d like. I could use excuses like summer school, family stuff, etc… but it really comes down to me being a bit lazy AND being to involved in reading to write. Hmmmmm, this won’t do at all. I’ll work on it 🙂 What I really wanted to… Read more »
My Thoughts: I received a free copy of this book from a giveaway I entered at goodreads. Thought I’d share the review here as well. Marcelo is not what his father would call “normal,” but he is okay with that. He is happy with his life and looking forward to his senior year at Paterson… Read more »
My Thoughts: I’ll admit, I was a bit hesitant about this book. Graceling was one of my favorites of the year and although I was excited about this book I was a bit leery because it was a prequel. I don’t always like those, especially when the only character that appears in both is not… Read more »
My review oh. my. stars. Now I have to wait for the third?!?! I couldn’t even wait a few more months to read this one!!! Since I read an ARC I don’t want to give anything away. I’ll just say this…. ….the beginning felt a bit rushed to me. There was a lot going on… Read more »
