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.

Texas Gothic

by Mary Clement-Moore

According to the Beehive Book Choice Nominations, this book is for mature readers.  I wasn't sure what that entailed, until now.  A fantastic tale of ghosts, spells, potions, and daily life in a small Texas ranching town.  I would guess maturity is needed to handle the spooky ghost that keeps popping up and the slightly steamy incident between two of the characters (nothing graphic, but gentle reminders of being a teenager discovering hormones - probably not ideal for a young reader, but that's up to the parents).  I really enjoyed this book.  Definitely going to give it a vote for the Beehive Book Award (local author recognition)!
