Shadows of the Lost Sun by Carrie Ryan My rating: 4 of 5 stars Boy, I'll tell you what, this series keeps throwing me for a loop. I need to read the last book ASAP.

Hello Lighthouse
Hello Lighthouse by Sophie Blackall My rating: 3 of 5 stars For a little kid's book, this is an unexpected story. I thought it was going to be just a light-hearted read, but it had depth. This seems like the kind of story parents would enjoy reading to their children. The story is simple, but … Continue reading Hello Lighthouse
The League of Unexceptional Children
The League of Unexceptional Children by Gitty Daneshvari My rating: 3 of 5 stars I have to say, I was with the kids for a while on this one, wondering if someone was just messing with them.

Bad Luck
Bad Luck by Pseudonymous Bosch My rating: 2 of 5 stars It's really hard for me to keep everything straight in this series. You never know from one moment to the next who is good and who is evil. In a way that's good, but I don't know. It makes it hard for me to … Continue reading Bad Luck
The Map to Everywhere
The Map to Everywhere by Carrie Ryan My rating: 3 of 5 stars This is one of those books that I randomly picked up at the library because the title sounded interesting. So, score one for drawing a reader in before they even know what the book is about. I'm not really big into high-fantasy, … Continue reading The Map to Everywhere
Hate List
Hate List by Jennifer Brown My rating: 3 of 5 stars The Hate List is a pretty intense book. It deals with school shootings and the after affects. Jennifer Brown chose a point of view that I feel was lacking in all the books about the horrible things that happen to teenagers any more. Books … Continue reading Hate List
