This is a well written, interesting book about making every day count but it broke my heart. I found myself torn throughout most of it, because while I wanted to know, HAD TO KNOW how it all ended...I also wanted to stop reading because it hurt too much at times....

Thank you to author, Angela Scott for this e-book which was provided in exchange for an honest review. Desert Rice is a well written story about love, sacrifice and what it really means to be a family. It's raw and gritty in places but not without it's heartwarming moments of...

I have Jenn, from the YASisterhood to thank for this ARC because she was kind enough to grab it for me at this year's ALA. A note about the cover changes - I know All These Things I've Done has a new cover and it coordinates with...

This is one of those books that readers will either love or...not. It's well written with fully developed characters who are interesting and engaging but the overall story itself was a tough one. Frenenqer, or "Nenner" is a prisoner in her life and while she has...

Colorful summary of Galileo's life, inventions and achievements as told from his point of view.

This is a cute map that folds out, accordian style and is a nice compliment to the Chet the Architect: Learn to Draw books. The pictures are colorful and the text short enough to hold a child's attention. I enjoyed learning about the history of the museums and...

This is a fun book for kids to learn about NYC architecture, landmarks, and the history behind them all while having the opportunity to practice beginning drawing skills.

This is one of the coolest covers I've seen in a really long time! I've been staring at it for a couple of weeks and only just now noticed the profile of the other girl. I was really looking forward to reading this because the summary sounded...

Beautiful cover! It's nice to see that all of the covers in this series have been consistent. It would've been really cool to have both Jacinda and Tamra on this one but it's still fabulous! This is a heart pounding, chest clutching, action...

I was really looking forward to reading this and I'm grateful to have received a copy for review from the publisher. I didn't have the chance to read the first book in this series but the author does a good job of catching the reader up to...

Excuse me while I FANGIRL all over this book! The last couple of books I've read, have been such downers for me that I've either been unable to finish them or tempted to throw in the reading towel altogether. That is until this book... I'd seen...

Another great offering in the Elemental Series! Hunter's story gives a glimpse into his background, allowing us to meet his family and see the circumstances that cause him to behave the way he does when we meet him in Storm. As always, Brigid Kemmerer's writing is smooth flowing, witty and...

Starring Me is a fun, refreshing read about a girl as feisty as her red hair, a cute boy and the chance of a lifetime. This story is loosely based on the biblical story of Issac and Rebekah and is a companion novel to McGee's debut, First Date, (where we...

This is one of those books that some people love while others are left to ponder all of the unanswered questions they still have. *points to self* This is certainly an interesting story, well written and the characters are engaging but I honestly don't know how I feel about...

"Feel the heat..." (OK, sure...*fans face*) OMG = Oh.My.Gabriel! Brigid Kemmerer sure knows how to write the *chest clutching* stories and she captures the male POV with the perfect amount of humor, emotion and "posturing". It's often said, "Play...
