The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
The Handmaid's Tale
by Margaret Atwood (Goodreads Author)
read in August, 2012
I somehow had never read this before, and then I bought it for my Kindle after Congress did something appalling (I can't even remember which appalling thing at this point). Then, a few weeks ago, I finally got a chance to sit down and read it, and I...more

Pink Smog by Francesca Lia Block
Pink Smog (Weetzie Bat, #0)
by Francesca Lia Block (Goodreads Author)
read in August, 2012
As soon as I finished rereading Dangerous Angels, I discovered that this book existed -- a prequel to Weetzie Bat. I was a bit wary at first, because I hated the sequel to the series (Necklace of Kisses), and I wasn't sure if Francesca Lia Block was...more

by Francesca Lia Block (Goodreads Author)
read in August, 2012

One Crazy Summer by Rita Williams-Garcia
One Crazy Summer
by Rita Williams-Garcia
read in June, 2012
This is an absolutely fantastic middle grades book, giving a child's perspective on the tumult of the 60s, and the Black Panther movement in particular. It's a sensitive, realistic portrayal that doesn't leap toward easy stereotypes in any direction,...more

The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin
The Westing Game
by Ellen Raskin
read in June, 2012
This is a book I somehow never got around to reading as a kid, despite the fact that I read constantly and it's such a classic. Reading it now, I can absolutely see why it's so universally-adored. It's incredibly clever, and it holds up really well f...more
