X has got to be the trickiest letter in the alphabet to begin a book title with! …with which to begin a book… whatever, you get my meaning. I found two books for you today.  One is a book I used last year; it’s relatively little known so I thought it was worth repeating. It’s Xenocide by Orson Scott Card.  For those of you unfamiliar, it’s part of the Ender’s Game series. The next title took me a while to {Read More}

It’s Z day!!!! woo hooo!!! Z day means we’ve finished the challenge! Let’s get this party started! Wow.  Here’s what Goodreads says about Zoe: A girl’s letters to her best friend reveal two lives derailed by anorexia in this haunting debut that’s Laurie Halse Anderson’s Wintergirls meets The Sixth Sense. Zoe knows she doesn’t belong in a hospital—so why is she in one?   Twin Birch isn’t just any hospital. It’s a strange mansion populated by unnerving staff and glassy-eyed {Read More}

It’s Y day! I only have one book for you today but it’s a doozy. It’s called Y by Marjorie Celona. As you can see, Bailey liked it too.  Briefly, Y is the story of a baby left abandoned on the steps of a YMCA.  Here’s my review.  Her life was not easy. It’s a tough read but really makes you think.  The cover does not do it justice. What about you? Read any books that start with the letter {Read More}

Whew, welcome to W! Let’s get right down to it, shall we? Wintergirls by the prolific Laurie Halse Anderson.  This time the story is of two girls struggling with anorexia.  How does Anderson keep coming up with these provocative books??? This is for sure a MUST READ!  I’d say pair it with Donna Cooner’s Skinny. Where she Went by Gayle Foreman is the follow up to If I Stay a love story which ultimately, ends (that’s not a spoiler is {Read More}

Here we are at V day! It’s hard to believe we made it most of the way through the alphabet, but yep, we did! Don’t give up on us just yet, cuz I still have more to share! Can you take a guess at what book(s) that start with the letter V? The two I have for you are Vicious Deep by Zoraida Cordova.  Here’s the scoop from Goodreads: For Tristan Hart, everything changes with one crashing wave. He was {Read More}

Wow! Is it really U day? I have three titles for you today!   Three titles that are very different from each other.  Let’s take a look: The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin. Mara Dyer doesn’t think life can get any stranger than waking up in a hospital with no memory of how she got there. It can. She believes there must be more to the accident she can’t remember that killed her friends and left her mysteriously {Read More}

Happy T day!  Finding a book with the letter T was difficult. Why? Because in the book industry, you don’t count the beginning words like: the, a, an, etc, and I wanted to keep the same approach to this challenge.  So here’s what I came up with: The Things a Brother Knows by Dana Reinhardt, sounds like a good read for the guys: Finally, Levi Katznelson’s older brother, Boaz, has returned. Boaz was a high school star who had it {Read More}

Here we are at S day! How’ve you enjoyed the alphabet so far?  Find anything interesting?  I hope so.  Here’s what I’ve got for you today: It’s Son by Lois Lowry.  Son is the final book in The Giver quartet.  I must admit that I read this book out of sequence but was delighted to discover that it still made sense. I highly suggest everyone read this series.  I had the pleasure of hearing Lois Lowry speak last year at {Read More}
