Insurgent - part of my Book Gap Challenge, since I don't often make the time to read a sequel. I usually breeze through the first book in a series so I can recommend it to others, and then move on. I'm about 100 pages in and definitely enjoying Insurgent. A bit of a slow beginning, but the roller coaster has started to plunge into twists and turns. 

The Fellowship for Alien Detection - I'm excited to get this book started. There's something special about looking forward to a book, but I'm ready to jump in. Big thanks to Walden Pond Press for sending me this ARC!

I don't join in every week, but I had some fun books to share this week with the "Book and a Beverage" crew. Thanks to David Etkin for this fun feature!

You have probably guessed by now that the book was Wonder by R.J. Palacio. Through the year I have shared many other great titles –many of them discovered through my PLN on Twitter. The...

Once again, I'm thrilled to read and review a new John David Anderson middle grade novel - even in the craziness that accompanies the end of a school year! About the Book (from the publisher) From the first moment Morgan can remember, Claire has always been there. Big sister and little brother. Cat and Mouse. They’ve always understood each other, saved each other, seen each other. And they stuck to their own personal code, unwritten but understood, that siblings were inseparable, that they had each other’s backs, no matter what. At least, they used to. Somewhere along the line, things between them shifted. Claire started fighting more with Mom, storming out of the house, spending more and more time away, and Morgan felt his sister and best friend slipping away. Now he spends nearly every night sitting awake in his room, waiting for the sound of her key in the lock. It’s a sound he hasn’t heard in nearly a week, ever since her and Mom’s worst fight ever. So when Claire finally calls...
