Summer Book Bingo!

Good morning!

I haven't forgotten about you: Mrs. Hall and I have been busy with graduation and textbook collection. I did say I would post about books all summer long, as they would count as "A book recommended by a librarian" if you are playing Summer Book Bingo.

The first book I would like to recommend is Drowned by Nichola Reilly. If you enjoy dystopian fiction, or even if you don't, but love a thrilling read, you will enjoy Drowned.

This book was suspenseful: I had to keep reading until the end because I NEEDED to know what was going to happen. I'm looking forward to the sequel.

Drowned is available at a bookstore or your local public library.
