The tale of Atticus "Tick" Higginbottom continues. He hops to different realities in hopes of saving the one he calls home. Along with his friends, Tick's adventures are full of danger, drama, and hope, with a hint of humor.
I'm ready for the next in the series.

Hourglass
by Claudia Gray
I read Evernight in a matter of a week. I finished Stargazer in just a few days. I read Hourglass in less than a day. I couldn't put it down. Vampires, boyfriends, friends, drama, adventure. You name it, it's in here!
I'm excited for the next book to come out....!

Stargazer
by Claudia Gray
I tend to get slightly obsessed when I find a book completely engaging. Having said that, I finished this book in 1 1/2 days...I couldn't put it down!! It was great! There is some language and a few moments of sexual tension, but nothing explicit. It's got vampires, ghosts, romance, meddling parents and more.
This woman is a great writer!

Evernight
by Claudia Gray
Great book about a vampire school, and evolving vampire student and a non-vampire student. First book in a series of 3...excited to read the next one.
A few swear words, but still a good read.

The 13th Reality: The Journal of Curious Letters
by James Dashner
I think I might have found a new series to read. This was a simple fantasy that kept my attention the entire time! Great plot twists and turns. Alternate realities - who'd have thunk! Atticus Higginbottom is a typical smart-kid who struggles fitting in with peers, but has an affinity for trivia and puzzles. Many kids can probably relate to him...and he realizes his potential through unlikely means. I really liked it! Great for boys or girls, kids and adults.
Enjoyable and fun...great read-aloud for younger kids, too.

The Book Thief
by Markus Zusak
I actually have decided that, generally, I'm not interested in or cut out for adult reading. I have been trying for about 50 pages to get into this book...not happening. So, I guess I'm going back to fewer words and more shallow thoughts. I'm okay with that.

The Outlander
by Gil Adamson
I had a hard time trying to figure out where this story was going. Once I got about 3/4 of the way through I could start to see a little light at the end of the tunnel. It was a little intense at times, but seemed to be so detailed in others that I was a little bored. This is an Adult book - language and explicit details (few of either, but there, nonetheless). I finished this book about 4 days ago and still haven't decided how I feel about it. I really liked the historical aspect of the story, but I can't say I...I don't know. I like to read to be entertained; this is not what I consider an entertaining book. But I didn't dislike it either. I'm just torn. It was well-written; it had a great plot and twists; it flowed well. Hmmm...you'll have to read it yourself to decide.

p.s. 3 or 4 F-words in case that sways you one way or the other.
