If you'd like to see my recent four+- and five-star YA recommendations, visit Robin ReadsnWrites.
* I didn't make it beyond the first 20 pages.
** I made it to the end, but I either skimmed or skipped large sections.
*** I might have skipped/skimmed, but I liked it and might read it again.
**** I read at least 95% of the book and it was good -- probably will be reread.
***** I read every word, and I loved it! A favorite and definite reread.
This year, I'm only going to list the stars and a brief recommendation for the type of readers I think will enjoy the book.
****+Better Off Friends, by Elizabeth Eulberg -- highly recommended for those who enjoy sweet (and a little angst) friendship-to-romance stories with thoughtful characters -- Point, 2/14
****Sick, by Tom Leveen -- recommended for those who enjoy horror and the idea of a virus taking over and like an easy-to-read style -- Amulet Books, 10/13
**+The Moon and More, by Sarah Dessen -- recommended for those who enjoy Dessen's books and those who like coming-of-age stories about those heading into college -- Viking, 6/13
****Diamonds & Deceit, by Leila Rasheed -- recommended for those who enjoyed the first one and those who like drama set in turn-of-the-century (1900s) days -- Disney/Hyperion, 1/14
*Blythewood, by Carol Goodman -- recommended for those who like atmospheric novels with fantastical ideas and rich settings (like Wuthering Heights, perhaps) -- Viking, 10/13
Currently Reading: the second in the Palladin series
On Deck: the usual ;)
