Fallout | 
So, I am VERY late. Just read the Crank, and Glass books by Hopkins. Just started the Fallout book, last of the series. The change of perspectives is different and interesting.🤔
I feel like the only one who hasn‘t read her books. So I‘m catching up! 🤗
There are no words to describe how much these books have impacted my life. I remember picking one up in middle school and I couldn't get enough. Each story is so heartwrenching and such a rollercoaster of emotions.
pickVery powerful book!
Kristina is a good student, a good daughter, an honest person... until she spends some time with her father and is introduced to “the monster.”
It is not too long before drugs overpower her, and her whole life is turned upside down.
Beautifully written, and I cannot speak highly enough of the poetic prose. Highly recommend this to high school students searching for a meaningful book.
Loving Ellen Hopkins lately!!
“Whatever punishment lay ahead , only one thing could have improved that phat, fabulous day: a big bite of the monster.”
Addiction can happen so, so quickly.
so-soI really struggled with this. After having read the first 2 books and coming to know and love Kristina, in spite of her poor choices, it was hard for me to switch perspectives and have her be a secondary character who everyone dislikes. Also, I felt like this was less poetic than the first two.
Day 11: #Black ft. an entirely black cover. I‘m not 100% sure if this book started this way or if the book has been handled too many times by my students (though I‘m not complaining if it means they have picked up a book) but either way, the prompt made me think of this book.

pickI first stumbled upon these books probably when I was 10 and I just never picked them up, they never popped out at me. Until one particularly long reading slump when I was maybe 16 and just decided to read it. Best decision I've made. These were the first books to really make me cry, and to this day Hopkins is a go-to author for me. I've reread these books countless times too,and each time it's just as impactful as the last.vbb
pickGreat series. So interesting to have this perspective and so heartbreaking for the children.
A library in one of my neighboring towns is having a Meet the Author event with Ellen Hopkins and I‘m off work that night! I‘m so excited because I love Ellen Hopkins!! My mother and I are going to attend and hopefully I can get a book autographed!
pick"Still dealing with the fallout of choices..."
Finished with Fallout by Ellen Hopkins!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!! Although this wasn't as "heavy" as a lot of Hopkins' fans are accustomed to regarding her books, I was crying when I finished it. Once again Hopkins' has made me feel intense compassion for anyone struggling with addiction and that in my opinion is worth the read alone. ?
pickThey were good. The fact that it followed the storylines of a few different people made it interesting
You're flustered, I'm not flustered. 😅 I haven't read Ellen Hopkins' books since high school because I was nervous how I felt about her stories then wouldn't live up to the now. I was so, so wrong. FALLOUT is about the children of Kristina, the main character in CRANK who is addicted to crystal meth. A harsh read for a beautiful Saturday afternoon, but so, so good.
Now reading Fallout by Ellen Hopkins! #book #books #ellenhopkins #crank #glass #fallout #nowreading #reading #booklover

Well the plan to tackle some of my library print books has been derailed. Little man is suffering his first ear infection and I could only get him to sleep if he was next to me in bed and the lights were off. This is when ebooks really do come in handy. Looking forward to the last installment of this series as both prior books were excellent. (Bonus points for the David Benoit holiday pandora station in the background. Yay for xmas jazz!!)
pickMy daughter and I have read all the Ellen Hopkin books together. Real issues good discussion starters. The books are written in beautiful verse. #bannedbookweek2016
BANNED FOR CONTENT
YA lit is full of dysfunctional families but this trilogy really stuck with me for a long time. Hopkins' verses are so tragically beautiful, you will return again and again despite the haunting content. I recommend this series every year to my students and my copies, without fail, mysteriously disappear from my shelves by the end of the year. #24in48 #readathon

pickThese books are great
Borrowed this from a friend can't wait to read it. I love all of her books I've read so far. Expect nothing less from this one!!
