Into the Bright Unknown by Rae Carson
3.75
The storylines with Jim and Tom were big plot twists, and I appreciated the revealing before I wrote my official review. Earned it a quarter more of a star. Regardless, the final book wasn't as invigorating and surely not as necessary as the prelude or sequel. It was good, but I could've dealt with just Walk on Earth a Stranger. Rae Carson is still an AMAZING author. Love her and will have to venture into work besides this trilogy, though I always claim I don't prefer fantasy.
Like a River Glorious by Rae Carson

An absolutely stunning sequel to Walk on Earth a Stranger, however I am very disappointed at still not knowing the name of baby Joyner. If it's not revealed in the final book, I may just riot! No, but I felt like the ending to this one was a bit rushed, the middle bits a bit too drawn out. I do like the romance aspect, and see no reason for a third but I'm sure it'll tie up the series well so long as it doesn't end as abruptly as this one did.
I Hate You - Don't Leave Me: Third Edition: Understanding the Borderline Personality by Hal Straus, Jerold J. Kreisman
3.0
Very dense, thorough sometimes and too broad other times. Really liked the SETUP method mentioned.
The Magic School Bus: Lost in the Solar System by Joanna Cole, Bruce Degen
3.0
Not really sure how to read this type of book out loud, but I'm sure it'll be enjoyable for my son to read himself one day. Very educational
The Way She Feels: My Life on the Borderline in Pictures and Pieces by Courtney Cook
5.0
Humorous, serious, relatable, important. I have never felt compelled to slap 5 stars on a book and buy a personal copy SO FAST.
I Wish You All the Best by Mason Deaver
4.5
I could swear I read this book before, but I can't quite remember finishing it. I can't imagine why I would've DNF'd it prior, so I have to assume that life just got the better of me and I ended up returning it to the library. Anyways, so glad I gave it another chance and had the time this go around. I Wish You All The Best is so sentimental, heart wrenching, and gooey in all the right places. It's a novel that takes just short of a day to read if you're an avid reader. And it'll make your day to read it.
Blindness by José Saramago
Did not finish book. Stopped at 10%.

This seems like it has so much potential, but liable to put me in a reading slump because for me the style is hard to get through. That and the fact that it's in a trilogy that I'd feel forced to read...Had to DNF
I am J by Cris Beam
5.0
I have several friends and family who have begun their transitions, who I think this novel would be monumental for. I've read a lot of LGBT books, but I Am J was certainly one of the best. It's a one sitting read that will have you feeling a range of emotions on each page.
