Wrong Place Wrong Time
by Gillian McAllister

book cover


I was not a fan of this novel although I typically enjoy time travel stories. It was too convoluted and disconnected for me. I read to the end hoping it would all come together. Unfortunately, it was a disappointing read for me.

book cover


The book Smile is a true story that happened to the author Raina Telgemeier. After a Girl Scouts meeting she falls and it causes a terrible accident. She had damaged her two front teeth. The book is all about her journey with having braces, surgery's, a retainer with fake teeth on it and much more. I enjoyed reading this book and would rate it five stars.

The Museum Of Failures

This is my second novel by this author, and I liked both, although I prefer Honor (the first book of hers I read.) I thought this one was a little bit too long, and better pacing and a more likeable title character would have bumped up my rating. Things tied up a little too neatly for me in this story.

This Could Be Us

This is the second book of Ryan’s Skyland series. While it does not seem like it’s imperative that you read them in order I did enjoy the first book, “Before I Let Go” better.

The Life She Was Given
by Ellen Marie Wiseman

book cover


I just finished “The Life She Was Given” by Ellen Marie Wiseman. My cousin recommended it. I absolutely loved it and wanted to keep reading. I was sure I’d give it 5 stars. But then…it took a disturbing turn. It became graphic and upsetting. I don’t know if I should recommend this one or not. It’s about a girl who was sold to the circus and another girl, years later, who tried to uncover the mystery of the first girl.

Together

I loved this book; hearing from a recent US Surgeon General on how mental health and social wellbeing is under researched and increasingly important is refreshing and it was just an interesting read. It was also useful as a resource for further research.

Catch the Sun

book cover


This book is a doozy! It's a really good story about this girl named Ella, who had a pretty nice life until her parents got divorced and her brother supposedly murdered two people. After losing her brother to prison, Ella has to deal with harassment and bullying. Then a boy comes along, and Ella falls in love with him and he with her. But then, tragedy unfolds once more. Ella's brother is released from prison, and though it is a joyous occasion, it turns into horror. Love makes people do horrific and unforgivable things.

Older series from an author I read. Can't believe I missed this one. Lots of exposition and characters. I am assuming each of the characters introduced here will have their own book.

Sunrise On The Reaping (a Hunger Games Novel)
by Suzanne Collins
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I’m in awe. I absolutely loved this book and am so glad I read it, but it is not five stars. I love The Hunger Games but I didn’t love the games part in this book. In my opinion I really liked reading about the prepping for The Hunger Games and his bonding with the tributes. I did not expect Haymitch to get reaped the way he did that was crazy. I also expected a little bit more of a twist at the end with how everyone said how crazy it was. It was really good don’t get me wrong, but not that crazy as other parts of the book. And am I the only one who realized - Haymitch = Katniss , Sid = Prim , Ampert = Rue ? I really liked that foreshadowing and I am so happy we saw Mags and Wiress as the mentors.

book cover


In this book Karen is having a very bad day. She had opened her breakfast cereal that was supposed to have a toy inside and it did not. Though her bad day did not end there her favorite TV show got erupted by the news and much more. I definitely recommend this book and enjoyed reading it.
