Hate List - Jennifer Brown

I am on a roll of reading these days.  I  finished another debut novel yesterday.  Hate List is a gripping tale of a girl, Valerie,  who starts keeping a list of people she hates.  Her boyfriend who is spirraling down a very bad place decides to act on this hate list.  The result is him opening fire in a high school, targeting the people on the hate list.  Valerie must deal with the consequences of this list when she returns to school. 

It was a great story, quick paced and had its emotional times.  The ending of the story was a little odd but overall I would definitely give this book a thumbs up!

A cool website

Do you ever wish that you knew the order of the books in the series that you are reading?  Do you forget who wrote the series that you read awhile ago?  This is site for you then.  It allows you to search my series title, book title or author title.  We use it here at the library all the time!  It is called Juvenile Series and Sequels.
