Crazy for Young Adult Books discussion

I forgot to say I changed my choice to instead and went with new series and I finished it yesterday with 3 stars from me

I read:
I went with new author: Eliza Wass

this was an....interesting story. I gave it three stars - hard to explain but I did enjoy it. The struggle of the kids and the main character. it was scary and real.

I read , which was a new author to me.

I gave it one star because it was terrible (in my opinion), and I just thought everthing about it, such as the charaters and plot, seemed a little ridiculous and unrealistic.

Sorry you got such a poor book that you didn't enjoy.

I changed my book to new author and I read which was really, really good. It's a GLBTQ book about a transgender.

I gave it 5 stars and I hope others will read it, even if they are like me and generally do not care a lot for non-fiction.

Awe, sorry you didn't like your pick, Ashlyn!

Sorry you didn't like your book.

I didn't see this until now, but that worked out perfectly, haha. I read Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater, and gave it 4/5 stars. Stiefvater is a new author to me, and this is the first in a series, as well as the newest library book I checked out. Overall I loved it, but the writing bothered me a bit in some places (in an it-seemed-too-simple way). Loved the characters, though.

I'll have to keep an eye out for these weekly challenges. ^-^

I don't know how I missed this challenge. I started reading a new author to me on the 17th and not only did I LOVE the book I loved the way this author told the story. Can't wait to read more from Jojo Moyes. I just finished it about an hour ago. I will watch for the new weekly challenge this coming week and post my book.

yay! I'm so glad many of you just spotted the post :)
