Shine The book Shine by Lauren Myracle has been on my to-read list for quite a while, and now I have finally gotten to read it! And let me begin by saying that it was definitely worth the wait. I remember hearing Lauren Myracle talking about this particular book at ALAN, about all the hype thatRead More
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Scott Pilgrim So usually I’m not the type of person to read graphic novels. I love getting engrossed in a novel where you have to imagine all of the images in your own head, instead of having them all on the page. However, I do read graphic novels once in a while, and now isRead More
Lots of Adventures
The Serpent’s Shadow While watching the movie We Bought a Zoo with my family this evening, it made me think about something. Adventures. It seems like people talk about them so much, but how many people have the actual courage to embark on an adventure? So many people go about their life, going to school, goingRead More
A Clash of Kings
A Clash of Kings It may have taken me a while, but I have finally completed the second novel in the Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin, A Clash of Kings. It is about a thousand pages, so it’s kind of a daunting read, but definitely worth it. And itRead More
Fear
Fear I have been waiting since 2009 to figure out why all of the adults in the Gone series disappeared, and I was hoping that in Fear I would get some sort of idea, being that it is the second to last book in the series. Alas, I was disappointed. I still have no idea how thisRead More
An Excellent Sequel
Froi of the Exiles Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta was published in 2009, and I remember reading it and thinking that it was one of the best fantasy books I had read in a while. But I also remember thinking that it was fantastic on its own, it didn’t really need a sequel. Yet,Read More
LGBTQ Individuals in Young Adult Literature
It’s finally summer! I am so happy to be finished, and happy to finally catch up on reading I’ve wanted to do all year. Before we can start on the new stuff, there’s some books that I read at the end of the year that we need to catch up on. For my final paperRead More
Almost There!
So the semester is almost over, which means that I will have time to read again! This makes me happier than you can imagine. There is a lot that I need to read. Despite the fact I haven’t had much free time lately, I have actually managed to finish two books (one of which wasRead More
Two Children’s Books
Though I have finished The Game of Thrones (finally!), I will talk about that in a later post. Instead, I wanted to discuss two books that I read for my children’s lit class, The Dreamer by Pam Munoz Ryan and Smile by Raina Telgemeier. Each of these books are probably something that I wouldn’t have picked up onRead More
The Graveyard Book
The Graveyard Book I am sadden to say that I haven’t had much time to read what I want lately (The Game of Thrones is getting sooo good, I just want to read it!), but I have been reading for my children’s lit class (probably the reason I haven’t been reading what I want). I justRead More
