Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly

Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly

I got this book as an advanced reader’s copy back in October, right before the author was coming to our bookstore to do a signing. I didn’t get to go to the signing because it was right when our parent teacher conferences are, so didn’t feel the urge to pick it up and get it […]

I have wanted to read this book for a long time. Many of the people I work with at the bookstore loved this book. I put it on my list to read, figuring it would be good, but another of those popular books that wouldn’t make my favorites list. Boy was I wrong! I finally […]

I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore

I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore

Once again I must admit that the cover of this book, the original cover anyway, caught my attention. And I figured, oh, I’ll read it later. Then, I saw a movie preview for it, and though, yeah, I’d better read this at some time. But still, didn’t pick it up. Then a few months ago, […]

Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick

Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick

Now, it’s been awhile since I read Hush, Hush, the first book in this series. Part of the reason it has been so long is because I read that as an ARC, and then when this came out, I was busy reading for other things, like the Gateway Award. But finally, still with my borrowed […]
