The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Once I started reading this book I could not put it down. A well written story with a very interesting narrator - Death. At the end, I felt disappointed that it was over. Amazing since it was 550 pages!

Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Even after reading this book, I am not sure of my reaction to it. The content - so important in today's world for teenagers - was disturbing to me in so many ways. A must read for young girls who are falling victim to eating disorders.

The Alchemyst by Michael Scott

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I was not prepared to enjoy this book, but I truly did. I had to slow down and stop myself from reading the other two that are in my classroom library. I will get to them this year though.

The Year We Disappeared: A Father - Daughter Memoir by Cylin Busby

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


I thought I would enjoy this book from the standpoint of hearing a police officer's story, since I am married to a police officer. Unfortunately, that was not the case.
