The Writer's LibrarySo I thought I’d post something else under Yearning for YA. I know I haven’t posted about that in a while, so why not?The YA Literature class I’m in is fascinating. For some reason, I love reading about different genres of writing aimed at young adults. Anyway, I wanted to talk a bit about my favorite […]
The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil GaimanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars Childhood is a wonderful, imaginative, all-too-brief time of life. “Adults follow paths. Children explore. Adults are content to walk the same way, hundreds of times, or thousands; perhaps it never occurs to adults to step off the paths, to […]
The Graveyard Book by Neil GaimanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars So quick story before I dive into this review. I was going into ninth grade, about five years ago now, and this was on my Summer Reading List. I picked it up, but the story wasn’t grabbing me right away (I was very impatient […]
Night by Elie WieselMy rating: 5 of 5 stars A short read…. but who ever said short couldn’t be powerful?My God…. this was on the summer reading list for my senior year of high school and I see why now. Looking back on it, I probably would have related to this more than the book […]
The Crossover by Kwame AlexanderMy rating: 3 of 5 stars So…. I will admit that I have a love/hate relationship with this book. I’ve never been into sports, mainly because most of them I’m not able to play, and I never got into watching them or reading about them. I just couldn’t relate. That said, […]
Looking for Alaska by John GreenMy rating: 3 of 5 stars I woke up sick, so I apologize if this review is a little disorganized…. Well, this book was not what I expected. I expected a romance story with both Alaska and the main character Pudge. The first half of the story was long and, […]
The Devil’s Arithmetic by Jane Yolen My rating: 3 of 5 stars When I was fourteen years old, I was nominated by my school district to receive an award known as the Raoul Wallenberg award. This honor was given to one kid from each school district in the state, and less than twenty kids per […]
Hoot by Carl HiaasenMy rating: 4 of 5 stars This book is listed under Project: Yearning for YA. To learn more about this project, click here.I’ve had a love/hate relationship with YA literature in recent years. Depending on the hand writing the story, YA can be good, great, just okay, bad, or absolutely atrocious. I […]
So it’s been a while since I’ve posted a review of a novel (besides Journal 3 Special Edition) but I just got Hoot by Carl Hiaasen today and I just finished it a few minutes ago. I should have a review posted either tomorrow or Friday for it.Anyway, I’m scheduled to take a YA literature course […]
“Against all odds,” “I’m Back….” So it took me some time, but I can finally say that I received my copy of the Gravity Falls Journal 3 Special Edition and read it in full. And all I can say is, “Wow!” It was so much fun to read, even more fun than the regular edition. The […]
