 * Welcome Back! What did you read this summer? **

//Looking for Alaska// by John Green. Finished 6/28.. I liked it. Great characterization. //Nineteen Minutes// by Jodi Picoult. Finished 7/5. I could not put it down. I loved the expertly woven plot and emotional drama. I was a little disappointed with the ending. //The Martian// by Andy Weir. Finished 7/22. What a great narrator; I loved this story telling. I was also impressed with the film adaptation (which is rare). //Unwind// by Neal Shusterman: Finished 8/9. Wow. What a clever, chilling story! I loved this book, and I will definitely check out the rest of the dystology! I am a new Shusterman fan. //My Sister's Keeper// by Jodi Picoult. Finished 8/20. Another page turner. Picoult tells an engaging tale.
 * Summer Reading: 2016**

Mosquitoland by D. Arnold. Finished 6/25. This contemporary odyssey is interesting. I especially liked the voice of the narrator. The Handmaid's Tale by M. Atwood. Finished 7/2. This book really held my interest and made me think deeply. Disturbing and very well written. The Art of Racing in the Rain by G. Stein. Finished 7/12. Very clever. I have fallen in love with a dog named Enzo. Challenger Deep by N. Shusterman. Finished 8/3. Shusterman doesn't disappoint. Great story that provides an exciting challenge as the narrator moves from reality to fiction. The Trouble With Reality & A Woman's Angle (non fiction).
 * Summer Reading: 2017**
