20.1 Grazia Deledda Animal Dreams by Barbara Kingsolver
Review:
Animal Dreams by Barbara Kingsolver was chosen by two other friends and me to read over the holidays. One friend sped right through it, one gave up after a few chapters and I trudged through and finally finished it. All that to say that Kingsolver seems like an author people really like or really don’t like. I think the basic story of Codi returning to her hometown to take care of her father after many years away was interesting. I just found a lot of the in between stuff to really not be as interesting. I’ll give it 2 stars.

10.9 Realistic ReviewsThese Broken Stars by Amie Kaufman
Rating 3.96
REVIEW:
So thanks to books like “The Hunger Games” and “Divergent,” I am now apparently a sucker for young adult dystopia/sci-fi books! “These Broken Stars” is a great mix of action/sci-fi and young romance all bundled up into a great book. The story follows Tarver, a soldier, and Lilac, daughter to what seems like the richest man in the galaxy. They crash land on an unknown planet and the story tells their tale of survival. It seems like a simple tale, but it does become more complex as the story unfolds. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but am still trying to decide if I want to finish the series or not. 4 out of 5 stars.

That's what I figured, thanks for the quick response! =)
If the first word is a number like The 5th Wave, do the numbers get put alphabetically like "5th" would go under "F" or do numbers go before the letter "A"? (Can't remember how that works!)
