Shark vs Train was a particular favorite in my house. And I loved the entire Hunger Games trilogy, and also Will Grayson, Will Grayson. I'd love to hear a man's take on John Green's books.
ReplyDelete@Brooke - It's a deal. (I loved the Hunger Games trilogy, fwiw.) I'll get a copy of Will Grayson, WIll Grayson and see if I can work up a good "man's POV" (although as far as men go, YMMV). Sorry, feeling a bit acronym-crazed tonight.
ReplyDeleteI'll take a look at Shark vs Train as well. I don't get a chance to review enough K-2 books.
Riordan is hot right now. While I don't love his style, I can't lay off his plots. Although I'm surprised The Red Pyramid won. The Lost Hero is a better series.
ReplyDeleteMy daughters love Bad Kitty. I just bought some.
