Precious Bane by Mary Webb
The great unknown classic. May it become a little more well known.
Happyface by Stephen Emond
The story just couldn't hold up to the great art.
On The Bright Side, I'm Now the Girlfriend of a Sex God (Georgia Nicolson 2) by Louise Rennison
Not quite as funny as the first but still fun.
Saving Francesca by Melina Marchetta
Realistically perfect. A new favorite!
Notes To Self by Avery Sawyer
A short read with a big beautiful story.
Star Crossed (Theif Errant 1) by Elizabeth C. Bunce
Amazing plot and a great MC combine to make this one a real treasure.
Once Was Lost by Sara Zarr
Oh the symbolism! Loved this one!
The Fox Inheritance (Jenna Fox Chronicles 2) by Mary E. Pearson
Started with promise ended in disappointment. :(
Stolen: A Letter To My Captor by Lucy Christopher
Intense and unputdownable but with a depressing ending.
Life As We Knew It (Last Survivors 1) by Susan Beth Pfeffer
Another intense read but where was the hope?!
Didn't Finish
Tempest Rising (Tempest 1) by Tracey Deebs
Boredom in the guise of YA paranormal romance.
Touch of Frost Mythos Academy 1) by Jennifer Estep
150 pages in and it was still barely getting started. Maybe I'll try another time.
Favorites of the month were Saving Francesca, Precious Bane and One Was Lost. Least favorites, obviously the ones I couldn't finish.
Wow! You did read quite a few books. I love your description of Tempest Rising. Although I've never read it, it's just funny: "Boredom in the guise of YA paranormal romance."
ReplyDeleteThanks! I rather liked that description too. ;)
DeleteI'd say it's been a pretty good month for you! :)
ReplyDeleteIt was a good month! And not just in numbers but in content too.
DeleteI missed you reading Saving Francesca! Arghh I hate my lack of blogging. But I'm SO glad you enjoyed it seriously, it's been a favourite of mine for about 7 years. Ahhh I'm so happy! ALSO Georgia Nicholson!! Loved these as a teenager; so so funny
ReplyDeleteYou did well in May Jen =]
The Cait Files
See?! There is a reason I do these wrapup posts!
DeleteWow great job Jenny!! But how come Stolen wasn't one of your favorites?! Was it not heartbreakingly EPIC? XD Anyway... Sorry to hear that you couldn't finish Life As We Knew It.. I haven't read it yet but really want to give it a go!! Can't wait to see what you read in June and am looking forward to stalking your posts as per usual, Jenny! ;)
ReplyDeleteI liked Stolen but the ending was too sad for it to be a favorite.
DeleteTouch of Frost was boring? A lot of people seem to like that one. I'll just have to see for myself. Congratz on all the reading you got done last month!
ReplyDeleteI think it was a mood thing. I might try that one again.
DeleteI have the first Georgia Nicholson book lying around here somewhere. I'll get to it someday!
ReplyDeleteThey're pretty funny, though rather ridiculous.
DeleteWay to go! Is Francesca back at the library yet? :)
ReplyDeleteYep, it's back. I hope you get to it soon. :)
DeleteLots of fun reads this month! I love all the Georgia Nicholson books. they are my absolute favorites!
