My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jonah and his friend Ty love hockey; but Jonah is anxious about everything and Ty is the only one who knows. Also Jonah's Dad suffers from anxiety and it has only gotten worse since his mom died in a car accident. It is through working on class projects with his neighbor, Rosie, that Jonah shares his anxieties to Rosie just as she shares her grandmother's worsening dementia. This novel in verse captivated me from the first line; so much power in each word and line, middle grade students will be sharing this gem.

Collared (Andy Carpenter, #16) by David Rosenfelt

Collared by David Rosenfelt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this latest audiobook, awesomely narrated by Grover Gardner! A dog tied to the Foundation's door sets off this legal thriller with Andy's humor and sarcasm. There is dog DNA, real DNA, murder, a drug lord, and Andy representing someone for $1.00. I loved the "Pod Hike" appearance in this book, too.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 7th and final book in the Vanderbeekers series and I am so so sad! I LOVE this series so much!!! The family, their friends and Harlem became so important to me; and this final book was awesome. The Vanderbeeker family has a medical crisis, and when they become daily visitors to Sloane Kettering, the children also find a way to help the patients in the pediatric cancer wing. I could not put this book down, everyone will love this book---buy it & read it! I will be sharing this book with all my adult friends and librarians who have become Vanderbeeker fans!!!

This is a 1st book in the Dragonfury: Scotland, #1 series and introduces all the dragons but the main character is Tydrin, a 1/2human dragon who has not been able to forgive himself for accidentally killing a human couple 20 years ago. As he goes to the cemetery for his annual visit, he stumbles upon Ivy Macpherson, crying over her parents deaths, when he also sees 2 men in dark suits with guns, ordering Ivy to surrender. Tydrin rescues her, makes her his, and shows her his dragon side. I could not put this book down, loved the suspense, and the conclusion was perfect! I am going to read this whole series!

Fall of Wrath and Ruin (Awakening, #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Fall of Ruin and Wrath by Jennifer L. Armentrout
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I absolutely loved this 1st book in the Awakening series! Lis is a mortal, lowborn Lis is an orphan who has known starvation, abuse and with her friend, Grady they stick together. Lis knows the future just by touching someone, so she doesn't really do that. She saves Grady and her future when she becomes the paramour of the baron of Archwood who is a celestia (mortal descended from the joining of a lowborn) and a Hyhborn (created from the earth) ; they have been living a good life until one night her intuition bades her go out of the castle not knowing what she will find. In the barn, there is a man with blood all over him and stakes pinning him down. What Lis does not know is that she is rescuing and saving Prince Thorn. There is wonderful world building, I loved the chemistry between Lis & Thorn and as the mysteries grow---the suspense is so gripping I read this book in 2 days!!! I can't wait for the 2nd book!!!
