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
Why We Broke Up
Why We Broke Up So I read the majority of this book on Valentine’s Day, which is a bit ironic since it’s a novel about all the reasons a girl and a boy’s relationship didn’t work. Not that that mattered much to me, since Valentine’s Day is kind of a silly holiday in my opinion.Read More
Where Things Come Back
Where Things Come Back So I started out reading this book not really knowing what it was about. I knew it had something to do with a woodpecker (since that is what is on the cover) and a kid in high school. I think that’s almost the best way to start a book, to readRead More
Multicultural Children’s Literature
The Watsons Go to Birmingham-1963 Multicultural children’s literature is gaining more and more attention in our present society. While this is true, this field is still severely lacking when it’s compared to the amount of literature that is available for young while children, especially young white males. I believe it’s important not only for children to haveRead More
It’s Kind of a Funny Story
It’s Kind of a Funny Story Despite the pile of homework that I have to do this weekend, I have neglected that to finish It’s Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini and I think that it was a worthwhile decision. It’s a wonderful story and it’s wonderfully written, and it was definitely a goodRead More
The Phantom Tollbooth
The Phantom Tollbooth I think I have mentioned before that I am taking a Children’s Literature class this semester, which I am super pumped about! We get to read and talk about children’s books all semester. What book lover wouldn’t love that? Anyway, I have finished The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster for that class, andRead More
