The Author...Torey Hayden

I have read quite a few of Torey Hayden's books, and every one touches my heart- makes me angry at life and amazed at children's ability to over come circumstances beyond their control. The books can be graphic in their description of the abuse the children have suffered, but it's not in a crude way- more clinical to help you understand them. Torey is the reason I wanted to go into special ed- the reason I will someday go back to school and get my master's in special ed/ emotionally disturbed children. I don't know if these books are anything that any of you would like, but I enjoy the way Torey writes.

Confessions of an Ugly Step Sister

I don't know if anyone ever checks this site, but I thought I would add a note about a book I just finished. I have heard from lots of you about great books you have also read, but I always forget what they are called, so maybe you could post them here?

Either way, I just finished a fun book called Confessions of an Ugly Step Sister. It takes the Cinderella and retells it from the step sister view. It is a fun twist on a common story, and I really enjoyed it. Not my normal read, but something I think you guys would enjoy!

LOVE YOU!

ITS TIME FOR A NEW BOOK!!

So I know that some of you have already read this series but I want to know what you think about it. I just finished the book the other day and I thought it was FABULOUS!! They didn't have the other two available at my library so I have been DYING waiting for them to arrive from another library. So here is this months challenge. If you haven't read it do it. If you have I want input and if you have read uglies but haven't read Pretties, read it and comment on it. I really do love this idea of an online book club so let's do it!!
