Mrs. Knipper has been slacking on posting this month. I'm going to blame it on the plague I had plus weather. And there's plenty to post about because I read like crazy (and I'm not sure when because I didn't read when I was sick).
At school
The Archived by Victoria Schwab - This book is an interesting concept. The archive is a library of anyone who has died - and Mackenzie is in charge of making sure the bad histories don't get out.
At home
Her Darkest Curiosity by Megan Shepherd - This is the sequel to The Madman's Daughter; I haven't actually started it yet. Based off Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Finished
Legend by Marie Wu - I did a book talk over this a few weeks ago, and since there's so many books to go over, I'm skipping this one. But, as a reminder - this is a dystopian series on two kids: one who is a military genius and one who is a killer.
Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline - This is a dual narrative. The teenager is an orphan dealing with a horrible foster family situation, and for her community service, she's assigned to an older woman to clean out her attic. As she tells her story, the teen realizes her story isn't all that different from hers.
Deadly Heat by Richard Castle - This is part of the series based off the TV series Castle. The
Hollow City by Ransom Riggs - Sequel to Miss Peregrine - already did a book talk on it.
The False Prince by Jennifer A. Nielsen - I'm going to do a book talk on this one. It's about a guy who takes three servants and tries to make them into a prince. However, there's a big twist at the end.
Butter by Erin Lange - did a book talk; about the kid who wants to eat himself to death and broadcast it on the Internet
The Madman’s Daughter by Megan Shepherd - Book based off Island of Dr. Moreau; Juliet is trying to figure out who she is and how much she is like her crazy father.
Calling Me Home by Julie Kibler - Isabelle takes her hairdresser, Dorrie, on a trip to a funeral. Dorrie learns a lot about herself and race relations in the 1940s and in modern times. This is a cross between The Help and To Kill a Mockingbird
