Finished Shadowland by Alyson Noel. This is the third book in her Immortals series, after Evermore and Blue Moon. I couldn't really discuss the plot of Blue Moon because of spoilers, and it's even harder to discuss this one. I think it's my fav...

Finished Liar by Justine Larbalestier. This is one of those books where it's almost impossible to discuss with someone who hasn't read it. Micah is a compulsive liar and she's also the narrator of this book. Her boyfriend--or the guy in her clas...

Finished The Silent Gift by Michael Landon Jr. and Cindy Kelley for Bethany House. I really enjoyed this book--it's a compelling, sweet story about a mother's love for her son. Mary is a single mom and her eight-year-old son, Jack, is deaf and m...

Finished A Measure of Mercy by Lauraine Snelling for Bethany House. This is the start of a new saga set in Blessing. I was able to follow this even though I hadn't read any of the other books set there, but I think it would've added a lot to the...
