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.

Jane Austen Ruined My Life

by Beth Pattillo

What a story. Feminine, realistic, humorous, touching, angry, and everything in between. Emma is dealing with a recent divorce, losing her career, and trying to figure out what to do next. She's in London on a treasure hunt of the literary sort. She is a Jane Austen fan...no fanatic, of sorts - both in literature and personally. She blames the "happily every after" of Austen for her own recent demise. This journey of love, friendship, vulnerability, and emotion is a quick and easy read. Fairly light-hearted and mostly feminine. I would recommend it - no language, no "scenes", just caffeine and searching..oh and shopping, too.
