My book club chose Heretics Anonymous by Katie Henry for our most recent read. My members and I really enjoyed it, and it sparked a great discussion. Before I begin my review, let’s look at the synopsis of the book on Goodreads: When Michael walks through the doors of Catholic school, things can’t get much worse.… Continue reading Heretics Anonymous by Katie Henry
The Prince of Secrets by AJ Lancaster
Last year I requested a review copy of The Lord of Stariel on a whim and loved it! So when the author contacted me a month ago asking me to review the second book in the series, The Prince of Secrets, I jumped at the chance. I am happy to report that I loved the… Continue reading The Prince of Secrets by AJ Lancaster
Discussion Questions for The False Prince by Jennifer A. Nielsen
Hey everyone! My book club read The False Prince this month. I found some discussion questions online through Scholastic, but they weren't very thought-provoking. Instead I wrote my own. I hope they start some good discussions with your group should you decide to use them! Do you think the fact that this book is in… Continue reading Discussion Questions for The False Prince by Jennifer A. Nielsen
The False Prince by Jennifer A. Nielsen
My book club read The False Prince by Jennifer A. Nielsen this month. We all agreed that, while this book would definitely appeal to its intended middle grade audience, it definitely doesn’t hold up with anyone older than that. Let’s get a bit of information about this book to start. In a discontent kingdom, civil… Continue reading The False Prince by Jennifer A. Nielsen

They tried to convince her… Continue reading The Afterlife of Holly Chase by Cynthia Hand
Defiance by C.J. Redwine
Defiance by C. J. Redwine is a fast-paced book set in a post-apocalyptic world. While I enjoyed the action-packed story, I wish we had gotten a bit more detail in places. While the other girls in the walled city-state of Baalboden learn to sew and dance, Rachel Adams learns to track and hunt. While they… Continue reading Defiance by C.J. Redwine
Discussion Questions for Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng
Hey everyone! So I did things a little differently this time with the discussion questions. Instead of writing them all myself as I usually do, I wrote a couple and found the rest on the internet. The first four are the ones I wrote, numbers 5-7 are from a post on Goodreads, and the last… Continue reading Discussion Questions for Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng
Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng
My book club chose to read Everything I Never Told You for our book club meeting in November. The book follows the lives of the Lee family after the death of their daughter/sibling Lydia. While it was well-written and thought-provoking, it wasn’t in my usual genre, so I didn’t enjoy it as much as others… Continue reading Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng
The Lord of Stariel by A.J. Lancaster
I received an advance copy of this book from NetGalley. This in no way affects my opinions given in this review. The Lord of Stariel is the first in a steampunk fantasy quartet by AJ Lancaster. It has magic and fairies and a great cast of characters. The Lord of Stariel is dead. Long live… Continue reading The Lord of Stariel by A.J. Lancaster
