Book #29: Hourglass, by Myra McEntire
Aug. 24th, 2011 12:30 amIt's the story of a wall. And a door. And a pattern. And time. And a girl. And a boy. And, naturally, it's a story about love. Because most of the good ones are.
(It's also another entry on my list of Books With Amazing Cover Art. And now that I'm finished reading it, I'm pretty sure the picture on the front blows my mind even more.)
( But I am getting a little ahead of myself )
I hadn't planned to stay up this late reading, and then I hadn't planned to stay up this late writing the review, but I just REALLY LIKED THIS BOOK and felt the need to finish it and then SHARE IT WITH EVERYONE. I know I've been overgenerous with the 10 this year, but I'm doing it again: 10 out of 10 for an amazing girl, an absolute dork of a boy, familial bonding, brilliant geek references, and a plot worth staying up past midnight for (two nights in a row).
