Okay, this will be my last Truman book for about 3 more books. I’ve got 3 e-galleys that are expiring in the next 2 weeks from Netgalley, and of course I must re-read Breaking Dawn before the movie comes out in about two weeks! So, once those 4 are done,… Read more »
Wow, that is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of this book that I just finished. I loved this. Such a good story! I’m going to have to go back and read The Wednesday Wars now. Which won a Newbery Honor, so it must really be… Read more »
I actually had never read a book by Gary Paulsen until I began to read for the different award lists. I know, I know, how many people grew up reading Hatchet? Not me. But I have to admit he is a very good writer. Normally they’re not my type of… Read more »
I always have trouble picking up the non-paranormal, out of the ordinary stories. I just seem to be drawn to the dystopian, paranormal, futuristic, sci-fi, horror, more than realistic fiction.

Now this is a book I’ve been waiting to read for a long time! Almost every blog I’ve seen review it has really liked it. And the premise of the story was totally intriguing. And I have to say, I was not disappointed! I was able to get a good… Read more »
Okay, I started out this book really getting irritated with the main character, Sarah. She wasn’t happy because she’d moved to a new school with a scholarship from swimming, and no one seemed to like her because she wasn’t wealthy like the rest of them. She got stuck going on… Read more »
I hate to admit it, but once again I had let my judging a book by its cover keep me away from a really good book. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m not really a fan of fantasy. It takes a really good story or writing to draw me in. This… Read more »
While this is a cute book, it’s not really that great. To me that is. I guess it might be more of a draw to the 6th graders who read the Truman books, but it was really kind of childish. It did have a good message, similar in a way… Read more »
