While it’s not really so strange these days for a woman of my age to be a fan of YA books, I do still sometimes have to explain it to people when they ask what I’ve read that is good lately, and I really can only tell them about YA books. As a middle school… Read more »

Waiting on Wednesday – Once (Eve #2) by Anna Carey
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly awaiting. This week I’ve chosen the sequel to the dystopian teen novel Eve by Anna Carey. I got to read Eve as an egalley from Netgalley, and would love if I get to do… Read more »
The Hazards of Working at a Bookstore Vol. 4.1
Wow, I can’t believe how long it has been since I blogged! School is so busy, 3 jobs are crazy! I also am thinking I may not be able to read the nominees for next year’s Gateway. I am going to get a friend, and maybe some students to help me. But I’m getting an… Read more »
The Way We Fall by Megan Crewe
The Way We Fall by Megan Crewe My rating: 4 of 5 stars I was unsure whether to go ahead and post a review of this since it doesn’t come out until January, but saw that everyone else seemed to, so here goes. First I’d like to also mention that I got this as an… Read more »
The Hazards of Working at a Bookstore Vol. 3.0
I see all the Waiting on Wednesday posts of the people I follow and realize that at some point I need to get back to doing that one. Not sure what I’m waiting on though, that I haven’t already talked about at some time in the past. Maybe next week I can come up with… Read more »

The main character is Jael. Jael has never really fit in at any school, but she’s moved all her life, almost every… Read more »
The Cellar by A.J. Whitten
This was another egalley from Netgalley. This book is actually already published, but I still was interested in reading it. First off, let me say this story was pretty scary! We have two, kind of three, main characters. First are the two sisters Meredith and Heather. They recently lost their father in a car crash,… Read more »
Falling in Love With English Boys by Melissa Jensen
Believe it or not, as much as I enjoy chick lit, I normally don’t get into teen “romance” novels anymore. What I prefer in chick lit is that I feel a connection or similarity to the main character, in other words, she can’t be married or divorced or have children, as I have or am… Read more »
The Hazards of Working at a Bookstore Vol. 2.4 Part 3
Okay, third and final part. However, not sure when you’ll see this as I’m still having trouble posting my blogs at home even though I can type them up and save them. First is Are You Going to Kiss Me Now? by Sloane Tannen. This is a teen novel about a girl who is a… Read more »
The Hazards of Working at a Bookstore Vol. 2.4 Part One
I’m thinking to do this volume in three parts, as I have compiled a list from the last 3 times I worked of 9 books. And I hate to put 9 books in as I always have trouble messing with the pictures and getting them lined up with the info about them. So, here we… Read more »
