Are you guys speed readers? Can't keep up with you!

35. When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead

Gayla, the last 3 books I read are YA and they tend to go read faster. When You Reach Me was really fast. I read it in one day (yesterday) and so did another friend of mine. I'm on a YA kick this summer, as I was last summer. Right now I'm reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and after I finish that I may read A Wrinkle in Time, which was inspired by reading When You Reach Me.

Yea, YA is much faster for me as well, but I don't enjoy it as much as adult fiction.
