EVERY DAY by David Levithan

July 30, 2014

EVERY DAY by David LevithanIf there is one thing I adored about Every Day, it’s the prose. The prose was so fluid, it bordered on poetic. It captured many of the ideas so beautifully, it was nothing short of thought-provoking.

THERE WILL COME A TIME by Carrie Arcos

THE RULES FOR DISAPPEARING (The Rules for Disappearing #1) by Ashley Elston

January 29, 2014

THE ORIGINALS by Cat Patrick

November 26, 2013

To an outsider Lizzie, Ella and Betsy look like ordinary triplets. They each have their distinct tastes and personalities that set them apart. But they are more than triplets. They are clones.
