Loved this book and it's series! We learned a lot about Norse mythology and the Vikings. Kids were just as interested as I and it provided plentiful topics for discussion.

Great book from the Sunshine State book list. A little juvenile (as could be expected), but one of those books that really makes you think - and appreciate a healthy body.

This is probably one of my favorite books. The story is especially heartbreaking because it's a real look at the world of so many kids - violence, gangs, drugs, poverty and there is no break in the cycle as they grow up. On a side note, I'm steamrolling through "The Wire" on DVD right now (through seasons 1 and 2) which takes a similar look on drugs, crime, and apparently in an upcoming season, education.

This beautiful, existential, noir-crime novel gives the reader an intimate look at present-day Warsaw, awash in capitalism and despair. It was really quite moving but I found it a bit hard to follow at points.
Look out, it’s another Aussie YA book. And another Aussie author who has strong writing skills and uses evocative language. This one ended up being around a 3.5 for me but it still puts a lot of American YA to shame. Of course, and we’ve had this discussion many a time, it is probably because there is so much more American YA so we have to wade through the muck to find the gems. Er, or whatever else you could find in the muck. Clearly, I am no Aussie YA author as I just gave you the mental image of swimming in mud to look for gemstones and that is ridiculous…but it kind of makes me want to go to the spa. But while we’re off on a tangent, let me just tell you about the mental image I am having right now: Aussie YA characters vs. American YA characters in a dance-off West Side Story-style. Sharks v. Jets. (When you’re a Jet, you’re a Jet for life) Du-da-nuh-na-na. I bet Jonah Griggs, Rhino, Thomas Mackee, and Tycho could really bring it in a dramatic gang fight. And don’t even try to tell me they’d be going up against Edward Cullen. I’d schedule it for noon in full sunlight, just to be sure. Aaaand, I’m back on topic. Sunday lives outside the suburbs with her parents, brother, and her horse, Gio. While she doesn’t have too much experience, her best friend Nicky has been fooling around with guys for a few years. Sun meets Nicky’s boyfriend, Mark, and his friend Tycho when they all hang out together. Tycho is one of those contemplative, endearing surfer dudes that seem to exist in abundance in Australia or at least in Australian YA. (whatever, I am not sick of them yet) Even after Mark breaks up with Nicky, Tycho and Sun still talk once in a while, but events take a turn after Tycho invites Sun down to his place for the weekend. It should come as no surprise that alcohol serves as the impetus for the event that sets up the rest of the plot. I just wish all the characters would say the things they mean to say or inquire to see if what they are believing is, in fact, true. I suppose it is realistic, though. Can you really fault me for wanting two characters that work so well together to just be together? Which brings me to Tycho and Sunday. I love poetry but let’s be honest, a lot of it is pretentious. I thought it was lovely the way Tycho and Sunday sent each other poems in the mail, and I enjoyed most of them. BUT, I couldn’t help but wonder what the inspiration for this book was and whether the author just loves all these poets and wanted to include them in her book. And I’m not trying to be a jerk, I LIKED THEM! Poems can be truly amazing—in some instances, they can replace the feeling of an entire speech with just a few lines. They can evoke emotion and describe experiences so well that I think I’m there. BUT, I think it is cheesy when people read poetry to each other. Just tell the person how you feel. To their face. In your own words. Make up your own metaphors. Sure, someone has said what you want to say before (or seemingly so), but it means more if you actually put it into words yourself instead of copying the emotions of someone else. Unless you are far apart (cue Richard Marx), then write away and poem yourself to death. But if you are living near each other, just use poems every once in a while, when they actually mean something. /personal gripe Just kidding, my gripe isn’t over yet. Say there is a really awesome guy. He has all sorts of quirky habits that are adorable. He sends you frakking poems in the mail and brings your mom seedlings for your garden. He drives you home when his lame friend can’t pick you up. You know who does these types of things? GUYS THAT LIKE YOU. I mean, it was about as subtle as a brick to the head. (view spoiler) So, in short, this book is for you if you love poetry, you like artistic surfer dudes, you enjoy reading about family discord, you are piling up your Aussie YA books, or you just want a solid read. I definitely enjoyed it and I will read whatever else Julie Gittus writes.
Great book on Elizabeth I and Bloody Mary. However the main characters are Jewish people in hiding during the Spanish Inquisition.

I listened to this after my first car radio was stolen and before the second car radio was stolen. I can't remember if it was the last audiobook I got to listen to, but if it was, I'm glad the second thief waited until I listened to the whole thing. This tale has just the right balance of fantasy, humor, action, and romance and seems much more polished and cohesive than its fellow novel, "American Gods." It might be sacrilege to Neil Gaiman fans, but I would recommend Anansi Boys over American Gods. Also, the narrator for this particular audiobook was brilliant. That might've biased my opinion too.
Such an inspirational book - both on a personal and a professional level!!

This book gives an overview of the history of science. Rather than divorcing science and faith, it is claimed that the faith of many scientists drove them to make their discoveries. Pretty interesting, even for a non-sciencey person such as myself, though I definitely had a little trouble understanding the quantum physics section. Nevertheless, the authors traced histories of the different branches of science through the following three philosophies: Aristotelian, Neo-Platonic and Mechanistic. A profitable read.

I loved this book. It really made me think about survival and all that. What would we do if that happened. And I could really connect with her because she's my age. I have re-read it, and I probably will again.

Como hija de una rica pareja leal durante la ocupación británica de Filadelfia en 1777, Mary, de doce años, vive una vida llena de lujo. Pero no todo está bien con su familia: su hermano mayor, William, es un patriota que se escapó para unirse al ejército de Washington. Debido a esto, William fue rechazado, y Marry no ha tenido noticias suyas desde entonces. Pero ahora, en la víspera de un baile organizado por sus padres para oficiales británicos, Mary descubre a William herido en el cobertizo. Mary debe buscar ayuda para su hermano y esconderlo de sus padres y los oficiales. Un buen libro para lectores que disfrutaron de otros libros de American Diaries o series similares como Dear America o American Sisters.
