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.

Thirteen Reasons Why

by Jay Asher

Profound.  I haven't had a book impact my way of thinking in a very long time.  This book did just that.  As the main character, Clay, listens to a series of tapes from a friend, one realizes just how little things every day can affect a person - for good OR bad.  Simple things such as a smile can make the difference for someone who needed a reason to keep trying - or not.  EVERYONE age 12+ should read this...hands down.  Suicide is not a mental state to be taken lightly.  I feel a little soap-boxy but if this book can influence the little things you do (or don't) each day...GREAT!
