Book: The Girl With Borrowed Wings by Rinsai Rossetti
Age-range: 12 and up
I don't remember how I heard about this book. When I started reading it I knew nothing about it besides the title. It was so interesting and very much a book I would recommend.
Happy reading!

September Book #4
Book: Aurelie: A Faerie Tale by Heather Tomlinson
Age-range: 10 and up
This is my favorite so far of Heather Tomlinson's books. It's very short and easy to read, but it contains a full and complete story. Although there were places for expansion it doesn't feel like you're missing major details at the end (unlike the previous book of hers I read). Very cute and fun.
Happy reading!

September Book #3
Book: Kill Me Softly by Sarah Cross
Age-range: 12 and up
This is our book club's book for this month. It was interesting to see how the author brought fairy tales into real life, although the focus seemed to be on the lack of happily-ever-afters. There are a few other things that bothered me, but for the most part I thought it was a quick, fun read.

September Book #1
Book: Insurgent by Veronica Roth
Age-range: 16 and up
I have the flu or something dreadfully similar. I tell you this just in case it has somehow clouded my judgement of this book. I read it pretty much all in one sitting, with small breaks to get more Sprite to try and settle my stomach and trips to the bathroom to throw up. While I was reading it I really liked it. I was swept up in the story, there were a couple of places where I cried a little bit. But after I finished I put it down and my verdict is:
Huh.
I'm not really sure what's going on or what happened. The first book in this series was a complete and contained story. This one was just a series of events that (I hope) will all be brought to some sort of cohesion in the next book. All in all I'm kind of annoyed.
