Top Ten Tuesday (Should be Movies)

Top Ten Tuesday (Should be Movies)

Today’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Books That Should be Movies (or TV Shows)           Unwind by Neal Shusterman – This book has an amazing premise and presents so many questions about the importance of life and freedom.  It’s also very action-packed, so I think it would play well on the big screen. The Selection by Keira Cass – Considering how much people like shows like The Bachelor, this one should be a natural, right? Anna and the French Kiss by […]

5 Star Review – You Are Mine by Janeal Falor

I won a copy of You Are Mine in a giveaway and was really excited to read it!  SO glad I did! This is an intense book that will make you want to scream in frustration and horror at some points (in a good way) and will delight you in others.  I absolutely LOVED it! The story follows Serena, a 17-year-old girl who has just come of age – the age at which she can be sold […]

Top Ten Tuesday (Required Reading) & Teaser Tuesday (Beautifully Broken by Sherry Soule)

Today’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Books That Should be Required Reading I started out taking this list semi-seriously (semi is the key word here) and then moved on to just plain silly: You Are Mine by Janeal Falor – I just read this book (review is coming soon) and I think that students could actually get a lot out of reading it!  It would teach about gender discrimination and xenophobia and would spark great discussions about how society’s norms […]
