Tainted

by Brooke Morgan

This is a book nominated for a reader's choice at the SLCo Library. So I figured it would be worth reading. Holy Smokies! It was intense. I just kept waiting and waiting for the proverbial bogeyman to jump out from the next page. I thought it was great! It's a great story - twists, turns - that keeps you moving. Lots of F-words :( but other than that it was awesome! I can see why it was nominated.

Saving CeeCee Honeycutt

by Beth Hoffman

What an inspring tale of a young girl. She endures a mother who is manic-depressive, a father who is absent most of the time, and ridicule from the people in her town. She moves to Savannah with a family member and discovers what life is all about. I loved it! I laughed, I cried, and I related. ****

Levianthan

by Scot Westerfeld.

Tried...Faild. I liked the Uglies series, but just could NOT get into this other book. I've heard great reviews...I'll have to try again later.
