Why I Love this book: 
White Out is a phenomenal book that manages to take several threads of storyline and weave them together in a way that keeps all the characters distinct in who they are, while creating a beautiful tangle of relationships. 

Even with the main relationship of Sola and Stevie at the center of the plot line, we are able to delve into all the other characters and who they are, what they want, and who they need to lean on to get there. 

I really enjoyed the fact that the different contributing authors each took a character and built their story there, it really gave everyone a clear and unique voice and perspective that you don't always get in stories. Even though we don't know 100% who wrote each person, we were left with some hints, and I really love that. 

I cant wait for everyone to get a chance to check this one out.

Why I love this book: This books sneaks up on you when you are least expecting it. At the jump, I thought I knew where the story was heading, and was prepared for how it would play out... and then... and then the twists began and each one took us down a path that I didn't see coming. 

As a main character Iris lets us in just enough with each twist. She seems to be holding the world together, even though she lost her mom, even though she doesn't always get along with everyone, she is doing her best, she is doing well. Until pieces of her past start to come back at her, and she discovers that no amount of holding it together will make the grief of losing her mom go away. 

I really liked how we learned things at the same speed that Iris did. Each revelation unfolding in real time for all of us- it really allowed for us to feel what Iris feels, the good, the bad and the ugly. 

This isn't an easy read, and I don't think it's meant to be. But it's a good read, and I can't wait for everyone else to dig in.

Why I love this book: Based on Roman Mythology this story is a true middle grade adventure that twists and turns as our main characters find their way. At the outset I wasn't 100% sure where this story was going, I thought I knew who our main character was, only to be surprised when more started to be revealed. 

I don't want to give to much away on this one as the finding out is the best part of this tale, but I will say that you will get pulled into the story and the characters so seamlessly and you will find yourself holding your breath as the story unfolds. 

I can't wait to add this one to our library collection.
