  • Beastly
    • Rated 5 stars

    I'm not a fan of retelling of fairy tales, but when I heard that this book was a modern tale of "Beauty and the Beast" I couldn't help but be curious. I was surprised to enjoy it very much.

  • It's Kind of a Funny Story
    • Rated 4 stars

    I enjoyed this book. It dispells the stigma of people who suffer from mental illnesses such as depression which is what Craig is diagnosed with. What's very interesting is that the author, himself, went to the hospital ten days before he wrote this book. The title of the book says it all...

  • Thirteen Reasons Why
    • Rated 5 stars

    Terrific! I couldn't put this one down. The writing made me think of John Green's "Looking for Alaska". Clay Jensen comes home one afternoon to find a mysterious package, with no return address, on his front steps. He feels excited until he opens it and realizes there are 13 cassette tapes by Hannah Baker, a girl he had a crush who later committed suicide. The 13 cassettes tell the story of Hannah's reasons for suicide. Hannah tells him that he is responsible is the reason why she killed herself, but is that really true? What made Hannah do it?
