George by Alex Gino

(note... This book made it to my 2018 Favorites List)

I can not say how very much I loved this book! All I can say is that it did make it to my 2018 Favorites List. The story follows a young boy named George, who knows he is really a girl. The book is short so I don't want to spoil the story but it goes into his family life, his friendship with a little girl named Kelly and his troubles at school. I highly recommend this book to kids of all ages. This is a heart touching book that gave me goosebumps more than once.

Stones On A Grave by Kathy Kacer

This book is part of the Secrets series and I hope to get the other books soon. I really enjoyed this book and all the characters. This story follows Sara, an 18 year old, living in an orphanage in the small town Hope, Ontario. One night the orphanage burned down and the older girls needed to find their own way. Sara was given an envelope which contained the information about her Mother and that is when her adventure from Hope begins. I do not want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but this was a wonderful book and I highly recommend it. I will be on the lookout for the other books in the series.

This book was Amazing! I really enjoyed this story so much. It really hit home for me because I had a family member deliver pizza and honestly, I never thought it was a safe job. The story follows Gabi, a young girl in high school, that works in a pizza parlor and often does deliveries. Her co-worker, Kayla, asked to switch days with her and ended up missing while doing a pizza delivery. The spooky thing about it is that the man that ordered the pizza asked if the delivery would be made by the girl in the Mini Cooper, which was Gabi. I do not want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but OMG it is a most awesome read. I highly recommend this book to everyone who loves creepy guy characters. This book made it to my 2018 Favorites List.

OMG I really loved this book. In fact, it made it to my 2018 Favorites List! The story follows Miranda and her family as a meteor hit the moon and caused havoc on Earth. Her family hurries to the store to buy up all the food they could get and seclude themselves in their home. This story deals with so much. Famine, family, friendships, hopes & dreams, sickness and yes even death. I couldn't put the book down. I don't want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but I highly recommend it to everyone especially ones who love an amazing dystopian world.

Heretics Anonymous

Heretics Anonymous by Katie Henry

First I have to say that I had some apprehensions going into this book because I really try to stay away from books about religion but I really enjoyed this book. I felt the author did a very good job keeping true to each characters beliefs and lack there of. The story follows Michael, the new kid at St. Clare's Private School. His family moved again due to his Father's work which continually puts pressure on him and his family constantly moving around. Michael is an Atheist in a Catholic school and he makes friends with a group of kids that have a wide range of beliefs. I don't want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but I will say that I would love to see these characters again especially Lucy and as she grows older dealing with her beliefs and restraints put upon her. I highly recommend this book to everyone who loves a contemporary with hard to debate issues.

I'll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson

What an amazing story! I just loved this book! The story follows twins Jude and Noah. The book is told from both POV. When they were young, they were very close and would do everything together but as they got older a tension grew between them as to who was their Mother's favorite. From birth, Jude knew she was her Dad's favorite but they never knew about their Mother until one day Noah showed her his artistic abilities. That is when everything seemed to change between them. I am not going into the story more as to not spoil it but I will say that if Jude and Noah would of just talked about things happening in their lives, things could of changed between them as well as all the other people that felt the pains. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

The story follows Kendall, a young girl returning home from her Student Exchange from Europe and Max, a young guy who is taking a year off before college. They both witness a horrible accident and to help them cope they take a dare to do random acts of kindness using no money. I do not want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but I highly recommend it to everyone especially during the holiday/winter season.
