The Off Season
In general, well more than in general, sequels are disappointing. I loved Dairy Queen, but I waited about 6 months before I read its sequel, The Off Season. I devoured this book. I laughed. I cried. I can't wait for the next one. I think these books show the best, true voice, of a teenager of any books I have EVER read. I feel like DJ is my best friend!!!
Roommates
A wonderful beach read- California sun, friendship and of course romance is mixed in with a girl living with some, well lets just say interesting, roommates.
Kneeknock Rise
Nattlie Babbit's books always make you want more. There is always some underlying question at the end, which makes them great for literature circles. This book is no exception. Not only was it full of adventure, it really had a deeper meaning and gave me alot to think about afterwards.
Dewey
I'm not a cat person at all, but this is a great book. It also deals with the town on Spencer, Ohio, how it has changed and grown over the years. It is almost a book about small towns that just happens to have a famous library cat. I would best describe it as the Marley and Me cat book.

Impossible
I was told this was the book for Twilight lovers. And while nothing can compare with the Twilight books for me, I really loved this book. It is going on my keeper shelf. It was a slower read at first, but once it took off I couldn't put it down!! I will definitely read this again!
Alabama Moon
This book reminded me of Hatchet, but better. I LOVED it!!!! I would read this aloud to my students/kids!!! Very deep and adventurous! I couldn't put it down!
The Pre-nup
I enjoyed this book. A fun adventure of three different women. Not completely believable but fun to read!
As Seen on TV
Cute story about a girl who gets on reality TV and becomes the person she never wanted to be. An interesting take on celebrity (or trying to become one)
