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
Divergent and Al Capone
In the week since Spring Break, I’ve been really busy. With work, homework, orientation for studying abroad, and competing in my first quidditch tournament, I haven’t had much free time to do anything else. It’s slightly annoying, because I hate not having time to read something for fun. Yeah, I know that sounds weird, butRead More
The Scorpio Races
The Scorpio Races What I like about Maggie Stiefvater’s writing in general is the way she takes completely different spins on myths. For example, her Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy is a completely different spin on the werewolf myth. And it’s refreshing. It’s nice to read something like that every once in a while. Now, TheRead More
Boy Meets Boy
Boy Meets Boy Because it is spring break, this means that I have had a lot more free-time, which means more reading! Since I had absolutely no plans for break, my break has been very relaxing, and productive in the way of reading books I’ve wanted to read for a while. The first book thatRead More
Two Authors, Two Books, One Post
After a busy few weeks, I finally have time to sit down and write a post. I finished two books in that time, Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist and Dash and Lily’s Book of Dares both by David Levithan and Rachel Cohn. They were both good teenage love stories, and even though they had similar plotRead More
Money Boy
Money Boy When we talked about cultural children’s literature in my children’s lit class, we said there were two different kinds. Culturally specific books and culturally generic books. This can also be applied to young adult literature, and this book specifically, because it gives a look at two cultures completely different than ours. Chinese andRead More
