The Giver by Lois Lowry A really powerful book that’s a bit of a cautionary tale. If you haven’t read this book, I highly recommend it. I had Bryan read it too and he thought it was wonderful too. Lois Lowry’s website started: September 4, 2007finished: September 10, 2007
Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret by Judy Blume A Judy Blume classic. I remember reading this in fifth grade. It was a godsend back then and I’m sure is a godsend for girls today. I love how honest this book is even with it being over 30 years old. So many girls are [...]
Ramona Quimby, Age 8 by Beverly Cleary Read for Children’s Lit class. Good old Ramona, gotta love her! I remember reading this book all in one day one summer in either 1985 or 1986. I was so proud of myself for reading a 200 page book in one day. Ramona always makes me smile. In [...]

New Moon by Stephenie Meyer I read a significant part of this book in one day. Literally, I read the entire day that I finished it. I can’t wait for the next book Eclipse to come out next month. I honestly don’t remember being this crazy over a series of books, that feeling of absolutely [...]
Twilight by Stephenie Meyer A great vampire love story between a normal human girl and a vampire that she meets at school. Can’t wait to read the next book. There’s no wonder this book and the next one, New Moon, are so popular. This is such a fun book. Books like this really make me [...]
The Girls by Lori Lansens I loved this book. It’s one of my new favorites because I fell in love with the main characters. They immmerse you in their world and I almost imagined what it was like to be a conjoined twin. I wanted to be their friend and spend time with them. This [...]
Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfeld This was a great book that’s about a woman who interviews an aging author, whose life has been very mysterious. It’s really fascinating, especially if you love books. April 15-May 1, 2007

Sold by Patricia McCormick I read a lot and rarely does one book make me want to tell the entire world about it. Yes, there was Prep but this book is different. This is one of those books that everyone should read. I started it on Wednesday night and have been so drawn in by [...]
