My Thoughts: This is another book I read because my students recommended it. They are obsessed with this series and I can totally see why! The Last Kids on Earth by Max Brailler is just so much fun. I expected to find it cute, but mostly read it to humor my students. I was surprised by… Read more »

A Night Divided
My Thoughts: I adored Nielsen’s Ascendance Trilogy (The False Prince, The Runaway King, The Shadow Throne) so, so, so much! However, I had yet to try her historical fiction. I kept meaning to but things get lost in the TBR pile shuffle! This year I started a system at the intermediate school I’m at where students… Read more »

Sisters’ Fate
My Thoughts: I am just so in love with these books. I put off reading this one because I didn’t want to admit it was over! I love this world that Jessica Spotswood has created. Alternate history is just the best! And, oh man. After the way Star Cursed ended? I wasn’t sure I could handle this… Read more »
The Carnival at Bray
My Thoughts: Wow, I liked this book way more than I anticipated. I mean, it’s not like I was expecting it to be bad… I wouldn’t have read it if that was the case! I guess I just didn’t have many expectations. The Carnival at Bray drew me in and kept me involved throughout the entire… Read more »
Kids On Strike!
My Thoughts: When I made my 2015 reading goal of reading one nonfiction book a month I knew Kids on Strike! was one of the books I wanted to get to. Somewhat embarrassingly, my desire to read it stems from one of my very favorite movies: Newsies! After recently re-watching the movie I wanted to know… Read more »
Morris Week – The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender Review
My Thoughts: I read this one before the Morris finalists were announced. It was the November pick for the Forever Young Adult Book Club, but I had been meaning to read it before that anyway. I started reading it via audiobook but ended up reading a physical copy instead. The narration was good; the problem was timing…. Read more »
