Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver My rating: 4 of 5 stars So, as I started this book, I really didn’t think I was going to like it because the main character, Sam, is just so unlikable. And I know that was the whole point of it, but still, I just didn’t think I’d ever […]

Lockdown by Walter Dean Myers My rating: 4 of 5 stars So, this is the first book I read for the 2012-2013 possible Gateway Award nominees through the Missouri Association of School Librarians.

Cinder and Ella by Melissa Lemon My rating: 3 of 5 stars I got this book as an egalley from Netgalley, through Cedar Fort Publishers. It was an interesting retelling of Cinderella. I wasn’t so excited by it though, that I couldn’t put it down easily. I enjoyed that in this book the prince is […]
