I loved the themes of body politics/changing, family, and religion, however, when I finished the book I was still left wanting more. I wanted to know more of her brother and her parents. I haven't read Na's latest book but thanks for the heads up on how confusing it is. I also felt disoriented with Challenger Deep too. I still need to read Children of Blood and Bone. I want to read it in print because the world is expansive and complex. I may have to order my own copy of the book. I have a strong feeling it will win the Morris award.

Some years it is so obvious (think Going Bovine and I'll Give You the Sun) and other years, like this one, nothing has wiggled to the top yet.Anne@HeadFullofBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069558006454986084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-59982147864213932842018-08-13T22:15:27.889-07:002018-08-13T22:15:27.889-07:00Yes, books set in fantasy lands or places with har...Yes, books set in fantasy lands or places with hard names to pronouce are good books to start with.Anne@HeadFullofBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069558006454986084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-50019012566494620292018-08-13T20:57:07.189-07:002018-08-13T20:57:07.189-07:00I love reading your posts about Printz-worthy (or ...I love reading your posts about Printz-worthy (or not) books and am so glad you are continuing even though you retired! I have Poet X on my list, but perhaps I need to listen to it rather than read it. It seems truly strange that a book about slam poetry wouldn't include the poems.Helen's Book Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01404788769349792460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-44707294992786186142018-08-13T18:47:24.832-07:002018-08-13T18:47:24.832-07:00I'm curious about audio books; I should try on...I'm curious about audio books; I should try one some time!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17197599882756386184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4083328248557950617.post-9376771893966727662018-08-12T19:33:36.407-07:002018-08-12T19:33:36.407-07:00Okay, but i am warning you.
