My Thoughts: Goodness, I loved this book! That shouldn’t be surprising since I loved the other four books I’ve read by Jennifer E. Smith (The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, This is What Happy Looks Like, The Geography of You and Me, Hello, Goodbye, and Everything in Between.) Still, I didn’t think anything would top how… Read more »
My Thoughts: I am honestly confused as to why I’m not seeing more people raving about this book. It’s incredible. It has multiple starred reviews, including one from Kirkus! What this tells me is that I need to look at who I follow on twitter and expand that list. Jade is such a great character…. Read more »
My Thoughts: When I saw that Fish Girl was a collaboration between David Wiesner and Donna Jo Napoli I knew I had to have it! I love Wiesner’s picture books and Napoli’s retellings. The two of them working together was something I could not wait to see. Fish Girl is a contemporary setting with magical elements. It… Read more »
My Thoughts: I read March: Book One at the end of 2016 and absolutely loved it. My library copies are always checked out so I didn’t read books two and three until last month (when I purchased the slipcase edition mentioned in the summary… it’s gorgeous!) I know everyone is saying it but I’m adding my voice: these… Read more »
My Thoughts: Nemesis by Brendan Reichs is an action-packed thriller. This is not my normal read! However, the summary captured my attention and I was excited to give it a try. When I had the chance to listen to the audiobook, I took it. I’m glad I decided to mix things up a bit because… Read more »
My Thoughts: I’m still not sure what exactly I think about this book. It was interesting and I was invested in Anna and her plight. I wanted to keep listening to find out more about her and “The Swallow Man.” It was a very different reading experience, to be sure. A few thoughts: Reading this book… Read more »
My Thoughts: As soon as I finished The Time Museum by Matthew Loux I added it to my next order for my middle school library. I had so much fun reading it and I think my students will really enjoy it! First, I loved all the history! As you can see in the description, the students… Read more »
My Thoughts: I really love graphic novels but don’t read nearly enough of them. When I saw that First Second had one about Cass Elliot I knew I had to read it! I’ve always loved the music of The Mamas & the Papas, but didn’t know much about them. Learning more about Cass Elliot and the… Read more »
My Thoughts: Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller is a fun read with a fierce, independent lady main character. Yup. I am here for that! Here are a few of my favorite bits: Historical Fiction: I love me some historical fiction. I especially loved that this one was so much fun! I know… Read more »
My Thoughts: I quickly fell for Zentner’s debut The Serpent King. When I heard about Goodbye Days I knew it was a book I wanted to read. My delay in reviewing it (I read it earlier this year) wasn’t because I didn’t like it. Quite the contrary. I’m just not always very good at talking about books I… Read more »
