You’ve been waiting for it all week and now it’s here–the Friday Fifteen! Here are this week’s fifteen-word reviews:

1. The Truth About Sixth Grade by Colleen O’Shaughnessy McKenna
Nice take on shifting friendships in middle school. Apparently it’s part of a series.

2. In My Kitchen: 100 Recipes and Discoveries for Passionate Cooks by Ted Allen
I want to make every single recipe in here. The duck, guys; the duck!

3. Reading Like a Writer by Francine Prose
Thoughtful look at how literary analysis makes us stronger writers. In short: read!

4. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Enjoyed in high school, admired in college. Saw Gatz and thought “Damn, that’s good writing.”

5. A Sister for Sam by Evelyn Mason
I don’t care what you think, Sam. Little sisters are awesome! (Guess what I am.)
