why i've been m.i.a.

I coach swimming and the season just started, so things have been crazy for the last 2 weeks.

I have 4 reviews in the works, and will try to get them up this weekend, but in the mean time, here is a quick review of my recent reading:
Wake by Lisa McMann - wonderful!
Fade by Lisa McMann - also wonderful - maybe better than Wake
Willow by Julia Hoban - easily a 5 star book - I would highly recommend this!
Academy 7 by Anne Osterlund - a good story - maybe 3 1/2 stars
