Hello Everyone! So this is the most tardy Weekend Reviews post ever. Not only is it Wednesday, but this post actually covers the weekends of April 16-17 and April 9-10. April in academia is crazy, so it's catch up time. Here's what's been reviewed in the major media recently:
Rachel Pepper reviews Malinda Lo's Huntress for the Bay Area Reporter. ("Lo's lush descriptions of the physical landscapes her characters reside in, and the perils they encounter on their journey, make the pages turn effortlessly. Her ability to populate these worlds with compelling young lesbian characters is an added bonus for LGBT readers.")
Joanna H. Kraus considers Brian Katcher's Almost Perfect in a series of reviews of recent award-winning titles for The Oakland Tribune. (Kraus calls Almost Perfect a "novel about a transgender teen is conversational, compelling and compassionate.")
Pam Norfolk reviews Maggie Stiefvater's Lament for Longridge News (U.K.): "Lament, a beautifully written and haunting story of good and evil, love and hate, the spiritual, the temporal and the power of emotions, is about as good as teen fiction gets."
Looking for books for teens about London? Mary-Liz Shaw has a recommendation or two in The Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel.
Mechele R. Dillard reviews Jennifer Laurens's Overprotected in the Atlanta Examiner.
