I love muggles and all kinds of YA reads.

Loved it. Many laugh-out-loud moments. She is brilliant. Every bit as good as Tina Fey's Bossypants.

Didn't like this at all at first. But in the end, the redemption got me.

What?! I cannot believe this is from the same author as Deconstructing Amelia. If you're looking for a Well-written, though totally implausible, plot that is full-of-holes, sign up for this mind trip. I feel like she sold out and wrote it as a movie script.

4/6 stars. Good writing. Memorable characters. Well-done! I would not have normally read this if it want recommended to me.

I am liking the werewolf and the rabbit. Hazel is an interesting character. This is as well-written as you'd expect. I love Beecher more. But I'm in.

I thought I would give up after the third. But I think she's hooked me for the next in the series. It's a YA version of Kay Scarpetta and her friends. Well played, Barnes, well played.

Three of five stars. I really loved the characters which kept me going. The story for tedious at times. Not her best. But entertaining, a I'm-glad-I-got-it-from-the-library read.

Loved this. Read it after my daughter. No fancy literary conundrums within, just a wholesome, good YA read.

You Should Have Known | Jean Hanff Korelitz

I liked this ... until the end. When I finished I felt slightly dissatisfied, like I was finishing a meal that, while tasty, was not my favorite. I am not sure how I wanted it to end - just differently than it did. Despite this, I will read more of this author.

Loved this. Four stars. Such wisdom and grace she shares. Beautiful.

Everybody's Got Something | Veronica Chambers, Robin Roberts

Her description of people owning how they handle their illness as their own hit home. So far, I like her authentic voice. (Listening to audio book)

I listened to this audiobook. If I'd been reading I would have bailed. Too much info about the mundane and not enough to satisfy my love of baseball.
