Anita Stansfield

Passage on the Titanic--I love Anita Stansfield.  I love the story of the Titanic.  I love reading different perspectives about the Titanic.  Perfect combination!  It was a good read, and interesting that the events were based off a real person. 

Harper Lee

To Kill a Mockingbird--I had to read this book in order to teach it for student teaching.  It was a LOT better than I thought it would be!  I struggled with the trial, but other than that it was fun to watch the characters grow and develop in this book.

Gary D. Schmidt

Okay For Now--AMAZING READ!  I would recommend this book to anyone!  It is fantastic!  It's relatable from teens-adults.

Gerald N. Lund

The Guardian--VERY different Lund book, but I enjoyed it for the most part.  It just wasn't what I was expecting from him and it threw me for a loop for awhile. 
The Undaunted--LOVED IT!!!!!!  It was gripping me from the very first page.  I like his style and this genre.  LDS historical fiction meets romance can be so much fun! (especially when I'm in that kind of mood)

Eleanor H. Porter

Pollyanna--such a cute book.  It was a fun, quick read.  Uplifting as well, kinda puts life into perspective a bit.

J.D. Salinger

The Catcher in the Rye--hated this book.  I couldn't get into it.  I couldn't relate with the character at all and the language made Stephen King look like an innocent child was speaking.  I struggled, but I've heard others loved it, so don't let my review deter you from reading it if you are so inclinced. :)

Ally Condie

Matched--Not too bad.  It finally picked up toward the middle.  It was really predictable for me, but I still enjoyed the storyline for the most part.
