Literate Her, Literally: 2015 YALSA Morris/Nonfiction Reading Challenge, Update #3
http://literate-her.blogspot.com/2015/01/2015-yalsa-morrisnonfiction-reading_25.html
Literate Her, Literally. Sunday, January 25, 2015. 2015 YALSA Morris/Nonfiction Reading Challenge, Update #3. The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender. Upon finishing this strange and lovely book, my first thought was, "Wow. That was beautiful.". I was immediately hooked by Ava's first words in the Prologue:. I was just a girl.". Chapter One was difficult to swallow and I kept getting jarred out of the story with thoughts like, "What am I reading? This is some freaky sh@#t! This is Siobhan McQua...

Literate Her, Literally: March 2015
http://literate-her.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Literate Her, Literally. Sunday, March 22, 2015. YALSA 2015 Hub Reading Challenge, Update #3. It was another week for rereads, mostly because these books are already in my personal library, so they were easy to get. After rereading I Hunt Killers. Last week, I had to read the sequel, Game. Even though it's not on this year's list. And of course, it ends on an unbearable cliffhanger, so I'll be reading book three as soon as I can get my hands on it! Maus: A Survivor's Tale. Tears of a Tiger. Strong dialog...

Literate Her, Literally. Sunday, July 12, 2015. 26 Books Reading Challenge. While browsing Pinterest this morning in order to avoid working on my current writing project, I found this reading challenge. I'm already doing a couple, but this one looks fun and doable (even for people who aren't in the habit of reading the way I am). I'll be keeping track in the comments. Feel free to join in! 1 - a book Ive read before and loved: Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein. July 13, 2015 at 6:25 PM.

Literate Her, Literally. Saturday, March 29, 2014. 2014 YALSA Hub Reading Challenge Check-in #7. War, oppression, and torture, oh my. It was a difficult reading week, with books that were pretty slow reads. Hopefully, I'll get my hands on some lighter reading for next week. Code Name Verity, book 2. Engaging, well-researched YA historical fiction. Recommended for mature readers with an interest in WWII and badass female characters. If You Could Be Mine. Sahar and Nasrin are both 17 and live in Iran. ...

Literate Her, Literally. Monday, June 24, 2013. 2013 YALSA Hub Reading Challenge - Update #19. It's finally starting to feel like summer. I was able to slow the pace of life a bit and make time for reading and lounging. I enjoyed what I read this week. Even though the challenge is over, there are several more titles that I plan to read this summer, as well as some other books that have languished in my TBR pile for the last several months. Book three in The Protector of the Small quartet. Kel has finally...

Literate Her, Literally. Friday, July 31, 2015. I Survived Camp Nanowrimo! Camp Nano, July 2015. So, making it to the end of the month with a daily writing habit that I actually look forward to is a tremendous step forward. My goal from here is to maintain a daily writing habit and to keep moving closer to a finished project. Well done on finishing! BUT I dont think I can do it again until Nov next year, as it did take its toll and there was a lot that I didnt get done because of it. Image: image] Good n...

http://literate-her.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Literate Her, Literally. Sunday, February 23, 2014. 2014 YALSA Hub Reading Challenge Check-in #3. My reading experience was kind of hit or miss this week. Starting out with something utterly visceral kind of made the other books pale in comparison. I'll start with the star of the week:. William Shakespeare's Star Wars: Verily, a New Hope. 8220;A plague on 3PO for action slow,/ A plague upon my quest that led us here,/ A plague on both our circuit boards, I say! The Lives of Tao. After his latest host die...

Literate Her, Literally: April 2014
http://literate-her.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Literate Her, Literally. Sunday, April 20, 2014. 2014 YALSA Hub Reading Challenge Check-in #9. Spring Break, oh how I love you! I caught up on my sleep this week and read a couple of books that I will happily recommend to my students. Double win. Thankfully, Ryan Dean, though younger than his peers, has a killer sense of humor, a talent for drawing comics, and a fearlessness that he embraces while playing rugby and while facing a multitude of challenges. At first, they can't stand each other, but thanks ...
