Unplanned
The Bookshelf, by Rebekah Hall. Review: Unplanned, by Abby Johnson. Autobiographies are very simple to sort through. Either the author actually had a real and meaningful purpose to share their personal story with the world, or they didn’t. The autobiographies that do are usually worth the time it takes to read them; they age like […]
The Giver Trilogy
The Bookshelf, by Rebekah Hall The way Lois Lowry’s The Giver is continually singled out as a stand-alone novel will never cease to amaze me. On page size alone, it certainly qualifies as a novel, but the funny thing is that the content simply isn’t enough. When you read a story, you expect an introduction, […]
The Good Thief
The Bookshelf, by Rebekah Hall. Ever since Hannah Tinti’s The Good Thief was published three years ago, the reader reactions toward the book have been mixed, usually in opposite extremes: either it’s the best thing since Charles Dickens and Robert Louis Stevenson (isn’t everything?), or it is the most grotesque, pointless narrative that that reader […]
The Mysterious Benedict Society Trilogy
The Bookshelf, by Rebekah Hall. Whenever a story starts employing very obvious stereotypes or clichés, it’s usually not good news. It’s the first symptom of an author lacking in creativity, and for readers paying attention, it typically means that the creativity shortage is about to get a lot worse as the story progresses. Some might […]
When You Reach Me
The Bookshelf, by Rebekah Hall. Genres can be misleading. Their sole purpose in life is to categorize stories into particular little slots, so that their labels can glisten from a utilitarian shelf. Of course, that’s not to say that they are useless, but most people tend to take them far more seriously than they should, […]
The Caves of Steel
The Bookshelf, by Rebekah Hall. I’ve been a fan of science fiction for a couple of years, and when and how that came about I couldn’t say; but the fantasy aspect combined with that bit of reality has always appealed to me. When it comes to science fiction, those two things are really the only […]
The Queen’s Thief Series
The Bookshelf, by Rebekah Hall. Gen can steal anything, or so he says. Of all the claims made by self-confident fools, in this case a common thief off the streets of Sounis, this one seems the most empty-handed; until the day Gen decides to prove it. He was quite serious when said anything, and he […]
Airborn
The Bookshelf, by Rebekah Hall. When asked about his book, Airborn, Kenneth Oppel replied: “I’ve long been fascinated by airships. To me, they seem almost miraculous. A luxurious passenger vessel bigger than the Titanic, yet lighter than air. They were the biggest objects ever to fly. What if airplanes hadn’t been invented? In the world […]

Bookshelf of a (Maybe) Teen Author, by Emily Russell Kara McKormick is told she’s auditioning to star in a new teen variety show. It’s what she isn’t told that could change her life.

Angel Eyes by Shannon Dittemore
Bookshelf of a (Maybe) Teen Author, by Emily Russell Once you’ve seen, you can’t unsee. Some of my lovely readers may remember my review of Rippler, the first in a sci-fi(ish) YA trilogy by Cidney Swanson. I loved that book, and the rest of the trilogy. They were some of the best secular books I’ve read; […]

Bookshelf of a (Maybe) Teen Author, by Emily Russell My mother and I visited a used bookstore, Gottwals, to use a gift card. I found several books I’d read before and wanted to own, along with a few writing books, but only one novel I had not already read: The Princess and the Hound. I […]
