by Jodi Picoult

4 stars

Spoiler: This book speaks to school shootings and bullying. If you can handle those topics then I highly recommend this read. The author does an excellent job of portraying the main character and I even found myself having empathy for what he did. The storyline is detailed oriented and moves along at a fast pace. There are a number of subplots and twists, right up to the ending, that leave you feeling a bit subdued upon completion of this read.

Marina | 30 comments Jennings Goes To School by Anthony Buckeridge

I loved the Jennings’ series of books when I was a child so I have indulged in a spot of nostalgia by revisiting this favourite. Jennings is a boy of around 10 years of age who is at a boarding school in Sussex in the south of England. The series centres around his well meaning but hapless antics, which are incredibly amusing and even after all these years cause me to laugh aloud. There are humorous misunderstandings galore, combined with the invented language of 10-year-old boys for whom life’s happenings are either brilliant or awful, or should I say ‘supersonic’ or ‘ozard squared’? It’s a charming, endearing and funny book.

An excellent YA novel about two very different teen girls reluctantly thrown together to survive a violent night in their city.

Dana (strzyinski) | 8 comments I read the Orchard by David Hopen. The best thing I can say about this book is that it fulfills the prompt. I cannot say I enjoyed it at all. I am sure you can find a much better book.

Furciferous Quaintrelle Bex (bad_girl_bex) | 17 comments Just starting The Secret History which for some reason is a book that wasn't even on my radar until recently. Looks like the kind of thing I'm going to enjoy though, so fingers crossed.
