This book is one on the current Truman nominees list that my students are reading and voting on this school year. It was one that looked really good to me, and I’d been excited to read for awhile. I was able to get a copy for pretty cheap at the school book fair back in… Read more »

2013 Truman Possibility 16: Legend by Marie Lu
This is a book that I’ve seen bouncing around the Book Blogosphere for awhile now. I was very excited to get a copy of it at BEA this summer. It’s not signed, and I didn’t get to meet the author unfortunately. And I put it off reading until I got the list of the… Read more »
Reached (Matched #3) by Ally Condie
I was so eager to read the conclusion to this series that I checked it out from the bookstore where I worked and read the over 500 page thing in just a smidge over 3 days. And I wasn’t disappointed at all. We learn soooooo much more about the society, as well as the Pilot,… Read more »
2013 Truman Possibility 12: Memento Nora by Angie Smibert
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, back to speeding through the… Read more »
Stitch by Samantha Durante
I have to say I was very excited to get to participate in the Stitch Blog tour. I was able to get an e-book copy of the book and read it, and it was very good! First, let me share the synopsis of the book from the author: Stitch Synopsis Her heart races, her muscles… Read more »
2013 Truman Possibility 4: The Unwanteds by Lisa McMann
Okay, I must admit that once again, I was bad, I pre-judged a book by its cover. And that was this book. I had been a fan of the author with her teen books, The Wake Series, and Cryer’s Cross. But, the cover on this was just too fantasy for me. Honestly, I am not… Read more »
Truth (XVI #2) by Julia Karr
I got this book as a stripped cover from the bookstore where I work. I had read the first book, XVI, as part of doing the Debut Author Challenge through The Story Siren back in 2011, in fact, I think it might have been the first one I read for that challenge. The story picks… Read more »
Diverse Energies – Edited by Tobias S. Buckell and Joe Monti
First of course I must thank Netgalley and Lee and Low Books for allowing me to read the egalley of this book in August. I was really excited to read this, as I really do love dystopian books, and this was really touted as a book of short dystopian stories. And it is. The “Diverse”… Read more »

The book I’ve chosen to discuss this week is one that is a sequel to a unique dystopian called Pure, and you can read my review of it HERE. Here is the summary… Read more »
The Eleventh Plague by Jeff Hirsch
I had this sitting in my classroom since last October when our school had its bookfair and I was able to get a hard cover copy for only $8.99! But it’s like I forgot it was there. I pulled it out about a month ago when I was doing some cleaning in my classroom, and… Read more »
