September Book #7

Book: Forest Born by Shannon Hale

An excellent edition to the Bayern series. And MUCH better than River Secrets.

September Book #6

Book: Beast by Donna Jo Napoli

My least favorite of her books, by far. The first 3/4 were boring, but the last quarter was beautiful and amazing and well-done.

September Book #5

Book: The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin

I read this because it's Julie's favorite book. It was good and interesting, but took me some time to get involved in the story. Now that I know what to expect I want to read it again.

September Book #4

Book: Snow by Tracy Lynn

Very good. I love all the books in the "Once Upon a Time" series so far. It was probably the most interesting Snow White re-telling I've ever read.

September Book #3

Book: The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner

Good read. She made up an entire cast of gods. Interesting, but not thought-provoking.

September Book #2

Book: Nothing But the Truth (and a few white lies) by Justina Chen Headley

Another story about an Asian family in America. A very different feel from the previous one I read though very cute and sassy. The character goes through a great arc in the story. I enjoyed it.

September Book #1

Book: Keturah and Lord Death by Martine Leavitt

Good, not great. Took WAY too long to get into and there wasn't enough plot to fill the pages.

Highlight: It won a book award and it sucked, so that gives me more hope [for my writing].
