Insurgent
Virginia Roth
Second in Trilogy

Goodread's Summary
One choice can transform you--or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves--and herself--while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.

This was a reread for me.  I had listened to the audio version, but decided I really needed to read it as well to follow it and prepare myself for the third one later in the year.  I enjoyed reading it, and once I got started I didn't take long. I found myself grappling with - Who is that now?  I was somewhat relieved to hear one of my students say she thought she would have to go back to the first book in a trilogy she is reading because she can't remember all the bits and pieces as she moves into reading the third.  I thought it was old age creeping in!  There is a buzz in my class about this trilogy and someone said they heard a movie is possibly being made?

Coming up I plan to read the second book in The Rosie Black Chronicles - Equinox by Lara Morgan.  Thankfully the third in this trilogy is published so it won't be too long before I read the third, and I only read the first a few weeks ago!

Bigger Than A Breadbox
Laurel Snyder.

Goodreads Summary
 A magical breadbox that delivers whatever you wish for—as long as it fits inside? It's too good to be true! Twelve-year-old Rebecca is struggling with her parents' separation, as well as a sudden move to her Gran's house in another state. For a while, the magic bread box, discovered in the attic, makes life away from home a little easier.

I loved this book I think like every other reader that has read it.  I loved the characters, especially Gran who was so understanding. I loved how Rebecca learned about life and grew as a person.  Her younger brother was a dear too.  Great read.

This coming week I am rereading Insurgent by Veronica Roth.  I have listened to the audio which is really very good.   However I want to read it as well to be ready for later in the year when the third one comes out.
