| Title: Moon Called (Mercy Thompson, #1) Author: Patricia Briggs Publisher: Ace Published: January 31st, 2006 Goodreads | Amazon | B&N |
I want to be mad at myself that it took me this long to dive into the Mercyverse, but I’m too happy to finally be here! When a young werewolf shows up at Mercy’s garage, she turns to old friends, new friends, and don’t-really-know-if-we’re-friends to work together to determine who has broken the sacred laws they live by. I’m devouring both the Mercy Thompson series and the Alpha and Omega series as I follow the timeline my friend Christie

| Title: Go Ask Alice Author: Beatrice Sparks, as "Anonymous" Publisher: Simon Pulse Published: January 1st, 2006 Goodreads | Amazon | B&N |
This book has a huge cult following and I don’t want to be clobbered, but I didn’t like this at all. It’s dated, and I couldn’t connect with the main character. She wasn’t likeable; and while I have compassion for those who struggle with addiction, I wasn’t moved by this “diary.” As for the conclusion, I read this after Letting Ana Go; and having experienced that ending, there was no shock factor for me in Go Ask Alice. I’m happy this book touched so many reader’s lives; and for that I give it points, even if it didn’t touch mine.

| Title: The Distance Between Us Author: Kasie West Publisher: Harper Teen Published: July 2nd, 2013 Goodreads | Amazon | B&N |
An enormously sweet and incredibly age-appropriate YA story! I’ve always had a soft spot for those wrong-side-of-the-track forbidden romances, and main characters Caymen and Xander seem to be from completely different worlds… so why is he the first boy to truly understand her? Witty banter, an abundance of snark, and a charming cast of characters make this Cinderella-esque tale a win. There’s so much to like about this story, but my favorite thing is that I can buy a copy for my teen’s shelf with absolutely no qualms whatsoever. This story and author are keepers.

Moon Called sounds like a book I just need to pick up. And you aren't alone on Go Ask Alice. My friend read it and loved it, so I got the book but didn't get far into it till I had to put it down. Just couldn't do it.
ReplyDeleteLovely little reviews!
Hope you are well *Huggles*
I cannot wait to read the Mercy books, I know I am going to love that series! And it makes me so sad that you didnt love Go Ask Alice. I remember adoring that book, but I also read it when I was in 8th grade so that could have been a major factor.
ReplyDeleteThe Distance Between Us sounds so so adorable!
Great reviews!
I do so love Mercy!

ReplyDeleteI am so glad you read Moon Called. I love the Alpha and Omega series too and actual like them more. *ducks and hides*
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of the second book, and I don't think I will be reading it since it didn't work for you. I love the Mercy Thompson series, I still need to dig into Alpha and Omega. I also thought the Kasie West book was cute.
