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.

Dust Lands: Blood Red Road

by Moira Young

I found this book on the Beehive Book Award Nominees shelf at the library.  They are usually good reads, so I grabbed a copy.  One of the quotes said, "Better than The Hunger Games"; I was intrigued.  The first chapter left me wondering where this might be headed.  The rest of the book had me hooked!  Adventure, angst, passion, grief, guilt, joy, and relief are a few words that come to mind as I reflect on the story.  A great read for young adults, especially girls who like a strong lead character.  Definitely worth the award nomination.
