Another Day

Another Day

My Thoughts: Apparently I failed at reviewing Every Day by David Levithan. I loved it, so I’ll be incorporating my thoughts about that one in with Another Day. They’re companion stories… the same events/time period from two different perspectives. I’m always a bit leery of these. Often they just feel so similar and I end up skimming large… Read more »

Lair of Dreams

Lair of Dreams

My Thoughts: I have been eagerly awaiting the release of this book since reading The Diviners in September of 2012. It can be a bit scary to read a book you’ve been waiting years for. There’s always the fear that it will be disappointing or that you won’t be able to get back into the story… Read more »

Six Impossible Things

Six Impossible Things

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

The Boy Most Likely To

My Thoughts: I super loved My Life Next Door back when I read it in 2012. I just loved getting to know the Garrett family. 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

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

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 »

Terrible Typhoid Mary

Terrible Typhoid Mary

My Thoughts: I was familiar with the term “Typhoid Mary” and knew a very basic bit about where it came from. This book filled in a huge knowledge gap for me. And the best part? It did it in a quick and interesting story! Terrible Typhoid Mary: A True Story of the Deadliest Cook in America has multiple… Read more »

What I Thought Was True

What I Thought Was True

My Thoughts: I adored My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick and so I was super excited for this one. I heard mixed things about it and let it slip through the TBR cracks. 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

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

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 »
