Soft Spots by Clint Van Winkle
Along for the Ride by Sarah Dressen
and one of these: Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, January First by Michael Schofield, Dirty Little Secrets by CJ Omololu, or Life is but a Dream by Brian James
I hope maybe some of you will join me in this reading challenge that brings important issues to light.
Oooh! I would join, but I don't know if it would fit in with what I'm planning on for the year. I know I'll be reading at least one or two that would fit in with this challenge though. Wintergirls and Speak were insanely amazing. You will enjoy! :)
ReplyDeleteNo need to join the challenge if you don't have time, you seem to always read one or two anyway. I am really looking forward to Wintergirls and Speak, they have been sitting on my shelf for a year now just waiting for the right time to read them.
DeleteI've only read Speak but it was very good. Have fun and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny! I picked Speak up after seeing you post about it :D
