How To Use This Book List

Many of the books here are written for young adults. However, some are definitely adult books. I don't always specify in my comments; however if you are interested in a book, find it at the library. If it's in Juvenile Fiction or Young Adult Fiction, it's usually safe for kids 12-15 (be sure to preview just in case). If the book is found elsewhere, you can always ask a librarian for their input.
Personally, a few swear words don't do much for me, so I don't usually remember they are in there. Other types of content, however, are usually commented on.
Enjoy!!

p.s. Please leave a "care-to-share" (aka, comment) anytime you like.

A Great and Terrible Beauty

by Libba Bray

I have had this book on the pile of "to-reads" since early summer. I finally got a chance to begin. It was completely different from what I was expecting. I found it a little slow to start, but by midway through the book I was enveloped. The characters are young adult girls who are still discovering love, boys, and hormones, so I would definitely read it before letting someone under 16 read it. But it IS clean. I really liked the setting of Victorian England and the idea of magic always makes it more interesting!

    This is a genre I don't read much of but love reading your reviews. I hope it will help me at least be familiar with some of the titles and content as my girls move into this arena.
