Top Ten Tuesday
It’s time for another Top Ten Tuesday. Welcome! This weeks topic is one I had to think about for a little while: top ten books about friendships.

Review: The Lost Girl by Sangu Mandanna
Title: The Lost Girl Author: Sangu Mandanna Published by: Balzer + Bray, imprint of HarperCollins Publishers Published: 2012 ISBN: 978-0-06-208231-2 Wow.

It’s very rare that I’m so struck by a concept that is so shocking and morally-challenging, but so brilliant and complete. “EvaContinue reading “Review: The Lost Girl by Sangu Mandanna”

I don’t have too much to say about Vonnegut’s novel other than no matter how many times I read it, I enjoy it more than the previous time. I feelContinue reading “So Goes “Slaughterhouse-Five””
Ender’s Game
I only picked up this novel because a close friend of my recommended it to me. I have a soft spot in my heart for YA fiction, so I couldn’t say no. Of course not. Diving into Orson Scott Card’s pages was a good decision, but like any good thing, it was over too soon.Continue reading “Ender’s Game”
Feeling Divided on “Divergent”
I began this book as a part of a little book club I’ve formed with a friend. We’re challenging ourselves to read anything and everything. This month we decided to go mainstream, YA fiction. It’s been a long while since I’ve buried my nose in a YA novel and I’m glad I did. As aContinue reading “Feeling Divided on “Divergent””
