Cry, the Beloved Country by Alan Paton Review


5 Stars
I read this book for AP English as well. It was beautifully written and taught me about a subject I did not know much about.

The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry Review


4 Stars
Kept me guessing the whole time and the ending took me completely by surprise!

The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen Review


5 Stars
Magical and lighthearted, while still bringing depth to the characters. I couldn't put it down.

A Mango-Shaped Space by Wendy Mass Review


5 Stars

I loved this book on so many levels. I could relate to the main character because of her attachment to her pet, I've grown up with pets and know well the trials and tribulations, but the love and fun that come with them. It was interesting seeing her unique attributes written into the story. This is another one of those beautiful books, with a sad ending.

The Birthing House by Christopher Ransom Review


2 Stars
This novel's premise was what caught my attention and I could not wait to start reading it. The novel started out great, the characters were introduced, they got to where they needed to be, which was an old, haunted house in Wisconsin. And the house was actually scary! At first. Soon it turned into unbelievable and confusing story lines and unnecessary sexual encounters. If only the author could have kept what he had from the beginning going.

Sweet Friday Island by Theodore Taylor Review


5 Stars
The first time I read this novel I fell in love. I went back to the library months later and checked it out again. It has been awhile since I've read it, but I think about it often and want to read it again. Once you pick this book up you can't put it down. As a reader you're constantly wondering what is going to happen and how these characters are going to get out of this. By the time the novel is done you feel like you went through it with them.
