All the Bright Places, by: Jennifer Niven

Picture
       Theodore Finch is fascinated by death, and he constantly thinks of ways he might kill himself. But each time, something good, no matter how small, stops him.
        Violet Markey lives for the future, counting the days until graduation, when she can escape her Indiana town and her aching grief in the wake of her sister’s recent death.
        When Finch and Violet meet on the ledge of the bell tower at school, it’s unclear who saves whom. And when they pair up on a project to discover the “natural wonders” of their state, both Finch and Violet make more important discoveries: It’s only with Violet that Finch can be himself—a weird, funny, live-out-loud guy
who’s not such a freak after all. And it’s only with Finch that Violet can forget to count away the days and start living them. But as Violet’s world grows, Finch’s begins to shrink.

Book Club

       Since April is National Poetry Month, my librarian decided that we should write some impromptu poetry to celebrate. He gave us 5 pictures from Academy-Award Nominated short films, and as a group we came up with three words to describe each picture. Then we had to create a poem about the picture using the three words. I chose the picture from Pearl, by Patrick Osborne. The words were somber, lonely, and teenager.

       This poem started out as a few lines describing a photo, but about a third of the way through, it turned into something really personal, and I am super proud of it. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

I've Been Blogging for 1 YEAR!

       Oh my goodness! I can't believe I've been putting book content on the internet for a whole year. I thought I would go through and share some of my favorite blog posts with you guys as a little celebration of my year of blogging.

       Here it is, folks: my first ever review. Now that I look back, I have absolutely no idea why I chose this book to be my first review. I had really high hopes for this book and ended up not liking it at all. It ended up being one of the few books that I've reviewed that I really didn't like.

Review: Armada, by Ernest Cline
