Hour Of The Bees
by Lindsay Eagar
View in Library Catalog
I give Hour Of The Bees 3 stars. It was an okay book. The reason I didn't really like it was because it felt like nothing was moving. It felt like we were stuck at the same point in the plot. Nothing exciting was happening. The characters would get up, do their chores, talk about moving, and talk about the Grandpa and how crazy he is. It was like the same thing happened every day! The ending was pretty good though. It was very eventful, dramatic, and heartwarming (that is why it earned 3 stars). Not sure if I would recommend this.
Winterkill By C.j. Box

Another great book in the Joe Pickett series. Having to solve a murder and survive a winter storm in the Wyoming mountains
Stargirl
by Jerry Spinelli
View in Library Catalog
This is a book about a mysterious girl who calls herself Stargirl. She is very different from everyone around her, and stands out a lot, so she tried to be more normal. Her attempt failed so she went back to good old Stargirl. The reason I took away one star is because the plot was so-so, and also because it had an unhappy ending. Still, a very good book.
Cockatiels At Seven
by Donna Andrews
View in Library Catalog
This book is part of a very funny series about a (now) married couple and their extended families. Reading about how the one main character ends up finding dead bodies and "helping" the police keeps one on one's toes. You never know until the end "who done it" and why. Full of laughs, and I didn't want to put it down!
How We Roll
by Natasha Friend
View in Library Catalog
This book is about a girl with alopecia, which made all her hair fall out, and a guy who had his legs amputated. Although their problems may be different, they are able to bond over this and start a friendship. This is a really sweet book about loving yourself and friendship.

Unbecoming
by Jenny Downham
View in Library Catalog
This book is so good I wish I could give it 10 stars! It's about three generations of women, who each have their own problems that they have to figure out. In the end solving these problems brings them closer together as a family (they never were close at all), which is so sweet and wonderful. One of tthe reasons I really like this book is because it shows that it's okay to be different and also that nobody is perfect. I think everyone should read this book!
A Mango Shaped Space
by Wendy Mass
View in Library Catalog
This is a great book about a girl who has synesthesia (meaning numbers and letters have colors as well as sounds). It is beautiful how the author describes what Mia, the main character is seeing. It's lovely to watch Mia become so much more comfortable and confident about her synesthesia.
Murder Under Cover
by Kate Carlisle
View in Library Catalog
This is a good book, part of the "Bibliophile Mystery" series. It's about a woman named Brooklyn Wainwright, who restores books as a profession, and is an amateur detective as a hobby. It's not her fault she keeps finding bodies, right? Each mystery keeps you on your toes, and you don't want to put it down until everything comes together at the end.
