My Thoughts: This book is a companion to Wildlife, which I finally read earlier this year. It takes place before Wildlife, but was published after in the US. Even though I read them out of order, I really enjoyed them both. I do wish I had read this one first. Some events of Wildlife are a bit spoilery for Six Impossible Things…. Read more »

The Boy Most Likely To

So, I was pumped when I heard Huntley Fitzpatrick’s next book would be a companion to it. More Garretts!! Also, more Tim! I loved how his character changed over the course of… Read more »
Most Likely to Succeed
My Thoughts: This is the third and final book in The Superlatives series. It started with Biggest Flirts, which I liked. Next there was Perfect Couple which I liked even more. And now we have my favorite, Most Likely to Succeed! This one has the same fun flirty feel with a little something deeper that I love from… Read more »
Never Always Sometimes
My Thoughts: Never Always Sometimes is a quick and enjoyable read overall. There were a couple things that bothered me at the beginning/middle but by the end they had been handled in a way that left me feeling satisfied. (NOTE: These things were more personal preference issues rather than plot/writing issues!) I really loved the idea… Read more »

That was really unfortunate because I loved it! What I Thought Was True captivated my attention so much that I simply couldn’t imagine putting… Read more »
The Boys Who Challenged Hitler
My Thoughts: Immediately upon finishing this book I ordered a copy for my school library and recommended it to the teachers I work with. It was so interesting! I can see so many of my students really enjoying The Boys Who Challenged Hitler: Knud Pedersen and the Churchill Club. I was so amazed by the young… Read more »
Resonance
My Thoughts: I had so much love for the first book in this duet, Dissonance. It makes my reader heart feel so much joy when I love a follow-up book just as much as the first! That was certainly the case with Resonance. The end of Dissonance was full of revelations. Some questions were answered but many more… Read more »
Rebel Mechanics
My Thoughts: Oh yes. That summary caught my attention for sure! Alternate U.S. History? Magic? Governess? Espionage? Stempunk aspects? I am in, 100%! Once I started reading, I didn’t stop until it was done. I was having far too much fun. Verity is the kind of girl I like to imagine I would have been… Read more »
