More time had passed than I would have liked, but I did finally read Bejamin Alire Saenz’ novel, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. I thought the movie was terrific, but I knew the book would likely be better.

Book Review: Some Shall Break by Ellie Marney
I squeaked through one more book before I high-tailed it to my local library to get the sequel to Ellie Marney’s None Shall Sleep, Some Shall Break. I think this is also the quickest I read through anything this year. Usually, I take my sweet time, reading about fifty pages a day, but I just couldn’t get through this fast enough!

I bounced back into some more young adult fare with Laura Tims’ Please Don’t Tell. I saw this sitting on my shelf not long after finishing the second, and sadly last, season of One of Us is Lying, and the cover of this book just screamed that it was going to be something similar.

Well, if you thought the second season of One of Us is Lying was going to tie into the second novel in the series adapted from Karen McManus, One of Us is Next…think again. In fairness, I think it was the right move.

Honestly, when I was just a few chapters into Scream All Night by Derek Milman, I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to be feeling about it.

Well, due to sickness, you’re only getting reviews of movies I could watch from the comfort of my home.

For someone that cranks out novels so fast, Karen M. McManus has yet to write a bad one. That rule definitely applies to her latest, Nothing More to Tell, too.
