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.

Hourglass

by Claudia Gray

I read Evernight in a matter of a week. I finished Stargazer in just a few days. I read Hourglass in less than a day. I couldn't put it down. Vampires, boyfriends, friends, drama, adventure. You name it, it's in here!

I'm excited for the next book to come out....!

Stargazer

by Claudia Gray

I tend to get slightly obsessed when I find a book completely engaging. Having said that, I finished this book in 1 1/2 days...I couldn't put it down!! It was great! There is some language and a few moments of sexual tension, but nothing explicit. It's got vampires, ghosts, romance, meddling parents and more.

This woman is a great writer!

Evernight

by Claudia Gray

Great book about a vampire school, and evolving vampire student and a non-vampire student. First book in a series of 3...excited to read the next one.

A few swear words, but still a good read.

The 13th Reality: The Journal of Curious Letters

by James Dashner

I think I might have found a new series to read. This was a simple fantasy that kept my attention the entire time! Great plot twists and turns. Alternate realities - who'd have thunk! Atticus Higginbottom is a typical smart-kid who struggles fitting in with peers, but has an affinity for trivia and puzzles. Many kids can probably relate to him...and he realizes his potential through unlikely means. I really liked it! Great for boys or girls, kids and adults.

Enjoyable and fun...great read-aloud for younger kids, too.
