Hello, Readers! A few days ago I finished The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl by Stacy McAnulty, a middle grade novel about a girl who is a math savant who starts middle school for the first time. This is particularly scary for her because she wants to appear normal and between the math and her OCD, she’s … More The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl | Sticky Note Reviews
#currentlyreading The Epic Fail of Arturo Zamora. Someone recommended this to me, but I can’t remember who. In brief, it’s a middle grade novel about a boy who is trying to save his community from land developers. And who maybe falls for a girl while he’s at it.

Before I went on my whirlwind trip to Indianapolis and back in two days, I asked the internet for audiobook recommendations. A number of people offered amazing suggestions, which I was thankful for. I ended up going with a book one of my IRL friends recommended: Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard. This choice … More The Sword of Summer (Magnus Chase #1) | Sticky Note Reviews
There was never a question about whether or not I’d read Ghost Boys by Jewell Parker Rhodes. The only question was when. I have a tendency to put off reading novels that will sooner or later find themselves on my BLM YA list because of the emotional toll that they take. So Ghost Boys was on … More Ghost Boys | Sticky Note Reviews
There was no doubt in my mind that I was going to pick up Sunny by Jason Reynolds when it came out. None. Whatsoever. #currentlyreading Sunny by Jason Reynolds. Sunny is a track star – fastest at the 1600 meter – but he hates running. What he really loves is dance. A post shared by … More Sunny | Sticky Note Reviews
There was no doubt that I was going to pick up Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli. Loved Simon. Loved Upside. So naturally… Also #currentlyreading Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli. I’m stoked. A post shared by Eli Oldham (@thebooksupplier) on May 10, 2018 at 8:42pm PDT Also, I’m totally a grown up … More Leah on the Offbeat | Sticky Note Reviews
I honestly can’t remember why I picked up Down and Across. I probably saw it on a list somewhere and decided to run with it. I should start putting why I picked it up in the caption of my currently reading photo. What I’m actually #currentlyreading right now. A post shared by Eli Oldham (@thebooksupplier) … More Down and Across | Sticky Note Reviews
Do you ever have a hard time reviewing books because you have such a visceral reaction to them? If so, what books? A few weeks ago I read Tyler Johnson Was Here by Jay Coles. I’d been waiting for this one because of my dissertation. And when I got it, like all the other books … More Tyler Johnson Was Here | Sticky Note Reviews
The Beauty that Remains was one of those books for me that was a right book at the right time. It’s about three teens who are each grieving the loss of someone close to them, and they come together through the music scene. We’ll call this one still #currentlyreading even though I just finished (I … More The Beauty that Remains | Sticky Note Reviews
Justina Ireland was not on my radar until a bunch of people I follow liked or retweeted something she wrote that Twitter thought should be on my radar. I suppose you would chalk this up to a time when a social networking algorithm actually did what it was intended to do. I’ve been telling people … More Dread Nation | Sticky Note Reviews
