I've had one boy read it. Another gave it a shot but couldn't finish it. It bothered me that there were so few chapter breaks. The setting felt right for me because I grew up there. I placed it in my own backyard.

That definitely sounds like a page-turner! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

The other books are new to me, but sound worth seeking out. Thanks for sharing Leigh Anne!

I always like seeing what you are reading :)<br />I put Serpent King on my mustreadin2017 list because it's one I've owned since it was released but never got to it. I picked up Goodbye Days at NCTE. I'm looking forward to both.Michele Knotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05087579707297009719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8692381227518715081.post-23323886205589260412017-01-02T14:03:20.062-05:002017-01-02T14:03:20.062-05:00How I love this #IMWAYR community!

I think my difficulty is a testament to his fine writing. I've stopped listening to it and will finish it with my eyes.

Sometimes it's only picture books, but that's ok. Code of Honor looks like one I should get for my reluctant guy readers.
