I could not put this book down and basically read it in less than 24 hours while on vacation. Jandy Nelson’sThe Sky Is Everywhere is a debut novel. It is a beautifully written story of grief, the bonds of sisterhood, the craziness of family, and is intertwined with a romantic ‘young love’ triangle. I absolutely love Nelson’s writing style. … Read More »

The Giver is required reading for my Peachtree Charter Middle School 7th Grader. I love to read so much that I usually read my children’s required summer reading too. It drives them nuts in some ways because I read so much faster than they do but they also like it because I can have a mini book club type discussion with them. … Read More »

In 2011, a television reporter inexplicably started spouting gibberish in the middle of her on-air report. Five years later, what’s become known as the Babylonian Plague has killed 99% of the world’s population and turned virtually all the survivors into raving cannibals that are more blood-thirsty zombie than man. These monsters are now simply known as the Afflicted.… Read More »

Get your teens to read the book, then see the movie! Have your own personal family book club. Teach your kids what I already know…..the book is ALWAYS better than the film!

Having Manda at our meeting was just like having another neighbor in the midst! She was lovely to chat with and shared the story of how she began her writing career in 2nd grade. She won a writing award in elementary school and was instantly hooked on the fame and fortune! She has had various careers along the way but has always wanted to circle back to writing. … Read More »
