OK. So I can admit when I'm wrong. The 5th Wave is freaking awesome. I am really enjoying this book. More than the super depressing book I paused reading to pick this one up (The Light Between Oceans). I generally do not like YA books (because I am a 38 year old person), but, man, this one has me glued! Steve said last night, "you really like that book - you have been reading for HOURS." I was like, "I have? What time is it?" Also, no sexy times. Just kissy times. I think the librarian must have meant that the main character's parents (and everyone) dies horrific deaths. But it's alien invasion deaths, not "real" deaths. It's not like they died from gun violence in their own neighborhood because they couldn't afford to move out due to the increasing social stratification of America. Wm can handle alien deaths and some kissing. So, 2 points to the librarian on this one.
Cory's review of Maze Runner: SUCKS. Would make good kindling.
Wm's review of Maze Runner: Awesome. HIGHLY recommend.
Must need to be a tween boy to enjoy that one.
Also, Wm's bestie puked all over the classroom yesterday, so now we're counting down to see if Wm has been infected. He has a field trip to COSI he is REALLY looking forward to and his class Valentine Party on Friday. So, we figure that's when he'll get it. Of course.
