Becky rated a book 4 of 5 stars Life Itself by Roger Ebert read in May, 2013	Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
This is the first traditional type of memoir I have ever read, and I really enjoyed it. It was like getting to know Roger Ebert.

Becky rated a book 4 of 5 stars The Woman Who Rides Like a Man (Song of the Lioness, #3) by Tamora Pierce (Goodreads Author) read in May, 2013	Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
I've read there are 80s publishing reasons for the first two Lioness books being whirlwinds, but this one slows things way down. And I like it better for it, as a grown-up reading now. I read another review that spoke to problems in the way Pierce wr...more

Becky rated a book 5 of 5 stars Game (Jasper Dent, #2) by Barry Lyga read in May, 2013	Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
Just as good as I Hunt Killers, if not better. Jasper is summoned to New York to help investigate the Hat-Dog killer, who can't possibly be his dad because he's been killing since before Billy Dent escaped prison. But Dear Old Dad's got to be involve...more

Becky rated a book 3 of 5 stars Crap Kingdom by D.C. Pierson read in May, 2013	Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
Crap Kingdom is a funny book with a relatable MC but it kind of falls flat in the end. In the middle of the book it was doing more plot-wise than I expected; I thought it was going to continue with the soul-swapping stuff, and I wish it had.

Becky rated a book 3 of 5 stars From What I Remember... by Stacy Kramer read in May, 2013	Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
It's the last day of high school. And that's all you have to say for me to read your book. From What I Remember... has some terrible lines so cringe-inducing it's like a real teenager said them. So, plus one for authenticity. But also minus one for te...more

Becky rated a book 3 of 5 stars The 5th Wave (The Fifth Wave, #1) by Rick Yancey read in May, 2013	Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
I'm wavering between three and four stars with this one. I liked it, but I'm not sure it's going to match all the hype because it's not mind-blowing in any way. It doesn't really stand out in the still-growing market of post-apocalyptic YA fiction. I...more
