One of my fave authors is coming to the Blue Willow Bookshop on Thursday, Jan. 22nd…Matt de la Pena! I can’t even tell you how excited I am! To prepare for his visit, I’m reading WE WERE HERE. Currently, I’m about half way through and very impressed with his ability to bring life to these characters. Miguel and his group home friends have lived through some incredibly tough situations. I’m looking forward to seeing how Matt de la Pena brings closure to their stories.

We Were Here by Matt de la Pena

After a judge sentences Miguel to spend a year in a group home and write in a journal, he makes plans to escape the youth detention center and go to Mexico, where he can put his past behind him.

One of my book orders came in today and I was SOOO excited to see The Infinite Sea by Rick Yancey! I’ve been waiting for what seems like FOREVER for this sequel to The 5th Wave. This is what I’ll be reading ALL weekend! *doing the happy dance*

Surviving the first four waves was nearly impossible. Now Cassie Sullivan finds herself in a new world, a world in which the fundamental trust that binds us together is gone. As the 5th Wave rolls across the landscape, Cassie, Ben, and Ringer are forced to confront the Others’ ultimate goal: the extermination of the human race.

Cassie and her friends haven’t seen the depths to which the Others will sink, nor have the Others seen the heights to which humanity will rise, in the ultimate battle between life and death, hope and despair, love and hate.
