The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary Pearson


I really enjoyed this book! When I saw the cover in the library, it looked intriguing to me ... and this book did not disappoint. I enjoyed the fast-paced storyline and the subject matter made me stop and think.

from Barnes and Noble:
Who is Jenna Fox? Seventeen-year-old Jenna has been told that is her name. She has just awoken from a coma, they tell her, and she is still recovering from a terrible accident in which she was involved a year ago. But what happened before that? Jenna doesn't remember her life. Or does she? And are the memories really hers?

Happy reading! If you read The Adoration of Jenna Fox, comment on this post and let me know how you liked it. :)

books...books...books

I have not been doing a very good job of posting about the books I have read. I have been busy reading, but also busy enjoying what is left of the summer :) I have read the following books since the last time I posted:
* Room One: A Mystery or Two by Andrew Clements
* Children of the Lamp: The Akhenaten Adventure by P.B. Kerr
* Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer
* Swordbird by Nancy Yi Fan
* The Willoughbys by Lois Lowry

The only one I didn't really enjoy out of this whole bunch was Children of the Lamp. I just couldn't get into the story or plot. Of course, the one I enjoyed the most was Breaking Dawn ... I had been waiting for it to come out ALL summer. It didn't drawn me in quite like the other three books in the series did, but it still was a great read. :)

Happy reading! If you read any of the books listed, comment on this post and let me know how you liked them. :)
