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.

The Language of Sand

by Ellen Block

I generally get stuck in a rut of a single genre: vampires. So I thought I'd stretch a little and read something about a person who could exist in reality: a woman dealing with loss, pain, and change.
The main character is moving to a new place for a new start. She wants to be able to enjoy life and find happiness, but is still stuck with feelings of pain, loss, and memories of the past. As she finds her way around her new place, she discovers much more than she ever intended.

I really liked the realistic life situations of this book. It helped me remember that everyone deals with difficult situations and is still able to enjoy life. Great book!!
