Welcome!!!!

Welcome to Lit's Blog, where all things literary are fair game! As a middle school Language Arts teacher, one of the many things I'll be using this forum for is to share my opinions on books, both Young Adult, and otherwise, that I've recently read, and hope that you'll jump into the fray with your thoughts, as well! Please visit often, as I'll be adding regularly. Just scan the titles of each blog for the book's name, and let me know what you think!

(Parents: At the end of each blog, you'll find a "book rating", based upon the MPAA ratings (see link entitled "MPAA Ratings Guide"). Since I generally try to read whatever the kids seem to be reading, and encourage my students to read a wide menu of texts, do not be surprised if you see an "R" rating on a title, or two. I will do my best to be as accurate as possible - HOWEVER, this rating is intended only as a guide. Ultimately, it is your decision as to whether your child should read the titles listed, or not.)

Wicked Lovely, by Melissa Marr


Wow! Who thought faeries (not the cute little ones that sprinkle fairy dust, but the ones who are able to cause all kinds of trouble for mortals) could be so exciting! In this novel, the heroine, Aislinn ("Ash" for short) must reconcile the "fey's"intentions for her, with her destiny. For those of you who are vampire fans, and are getting a little oversaturated with that strain, this story offers a nice break. With a fast start, that never slows down, you'll find yourself reading it every spare moment you get, AND it has a sequel, Ink Exchange. (More on that title, as soon as I can get my hands on it!) PG-13

This has been very popular at my school, too. I wish I had been able to see Melissa Marr when she was in town :(
