Hero Of Ages
by Brandon Sanderson
View in Library Catalog
Final book of the trilogy -- I was wondering how Brandon Sanderson can top the first two and bring this to a satisfying finish. I have to say that he didn't disappoint. The plot gets even wilder but still stays true to the underlying theme of the whole book. When I was less than 50 pages from the end of the book, I still didn't know how the whole thing was going to end. That's a great accomplishment by the author.
Shadow
by Kara Swanson
View in Library Catalog
This is the second book in the series and I loved it so more than the first book. We see the continuing story of Claire, a girl with magical dangerous dust and a boy named Peter who comes to her aid. I really loved the character development and seeing heroes become villains and villains become heroes. I truly enjoy fairytale retellings more than the original tales, and this one was a really great twist on a classic tale.
Dragon Masters the Roar of the Thunder Dragon
by Tracey West

It was about fighting another dragon master that is good. She has the thunder dragon that roars out thunder, they have to keep fighting. I loved it because it’s about dragons and I love these books. Definitely recommend it.

Fun Facts About Lizards!
by Carmen Bredeson

Lizards are really interesting creatures. Some live in swamps. Some live on the ground. Some even live high up in trees. It's a really nice book about lizard facts. It tells you a lot about them and it's fun to read.
Unwind

To be honest, I was not expecting much from this book, but it pleasantly surprised me! I would totally read it again.
The Jacket
by Kirsten Hall

This book is about a blue book that was very plain. It wanted to be beautiful like the other books. It finally got picked and it ended up getting muddy. Then a girl made it a new beautiful book jacket. I like this book because the blue cover is so blue.

Why Am I Grown So Cold?
by Myra Cohn Livingston
View in Library Catalog
This poetry collection is a strange amalgamation of the nineteenth and twentieth-century poetry published in 1982, seeking out the "unknown" through the macabre. For readers of poetry who seek out ephemeral feelings, this is not the collection for you. Nor was it a particularly moving winter read. It would likely be best read in the autumn and for the enjoyment of its macabre themes with ghouls, witches, monsters, and the unsettling.
Slammed
by Colleen Hoover
View in Library Catalog
Reading this book made me realize how Colleen Hoover became a best-selling author. This story pulls at your heartstrings, and hits you in the gut when you least expect it. I love that this book focuses more on a family life and not just a love story. Following the unexpected death of her father, 18-year-old Layken is forced to be the rock for both her mother and younger brother. Outwardly, she appears resilient and tenacious, but inwardly, she's losing hope.
