Q: What hyped up book was worth all of the fuss?
Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
I don’t know if there was a lot of hype when this book was released. However, over the years, I kept hearing how amazing this book was. It took me a long time to read it, because I knew what it was about, and I had to be in the right mindframe to read it. But man, once I started, I couldn’t stop. Amazing!

I have heard a couple of things hear and there about Speak, but I’m not quite sure if I’m willing to read that one. Not a big fan of Anderson, but Speak does sound like a book worth reading!
My FF
I can’t say anything on Anderson’s other books, because I haven’t read any others, but Speak is amazing! It really is. I highly recommend it.
Haven’t heard of that one. Maybe I’ll check it out. Old follower. My FFs are at Musings on Fantasia and LKHill! Happy Friday! 😀
Hopping through. I definitely loved Speak. It was a hard read but very powerful.
My Hop
Yes, it was definitely an emotional read, but I felt hopeful at the end. I loved it.
Never read that! I feel that I should though. Happy Friday! My FF
Do you read it. Speak was amazing! Very emotional and powerful.
Yes! I loved Speak! Have you seen the movie? Also, if you like Speak, you would also love Sarah Dessen’s Just Listen (which is my favorite Dessen book!).
My F&F post.
I did love Speak. I have Just Listen at home, but haven’t read it yet. I will have to get on that. Thanks for the recommendation!
Oh, good to know! I’ve only read Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson and wasn’t too impressed! I’m definitely going to give this one a try now 🙂

I’ve not read Wintergirls (or anything besides Speak by Anderson), but I can tell you Speak is amazing! And even though it is an emotional read, it is also a quick read.
I haven’t yet read this one. Might do so now!
My post – F&F

New follower. I haven’t heard of Speak before. I must check it out.
Do check it out. It is amazing. It’s a very emotional read, but so worth it. Also, it is a quick read too.
New title for me, enjoy!

I’ve had Speak for a while now, but I never got around to reading it. I’m glad to know it’s so good! 😀 I might have to read it soon! 😉
Thanks for stopping by my FF!
I haven’t actually heard of this book! I like the cover though. I think that would be one read!

I had been meaning to read it for years. Literally. When I finally did, I was not disappointed.
I haven’t read this book, thank you for stopping by my blog. Have a great weekend!
Thanks for stopping by my Friday Hops! I recently reviewed the book Rape Girl and this book kept coming up in discussion. I really need to get to it.
Speak is soooo wonderful I hope you like it.
Great choice! I read Speak based on all the reviews I saw around Banned Book week awhile back, and I’m so glad I did!
I’m so glad I read Speak, too.
I haven’t read the book yet but I did love the movie. I need to check out the book now. Happy Weekend!

I haven’t seen the movie, but I can you this book is phenomenal.
Sounds like a intense read and I will read it when I feel like I’m in such a ‘mood’.
My FF.
I keep spotting this at the library and will have to check it out one day.
Thanks for stopping by!
It is so wonderful! Do check it out. It’s very powerful.
Great pick! I have fond memories of this book. Though it was a sad read but still amazing. Did you see the movie with Kristen Stewart?
Yes, it is sad, but I thought the ending was very hopeful.
I haven’t seen the movie. I should look into it.
I haven’t picked Speak up for the same reason, I’m afraid that the topic will be too ‘much’. I ought to give it a try soon!
Thanks for stopping by!
I have to say that Anderson really keeps this one from being too much to handle. It is definitely worth a try.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I’ll have to check out Speak.

Thanks for checking out my FF! Following back 🙂
YES! Speak is brilliant! I definitely recommend Catalyst and Wintergirls, as well.
I’ve heard great things about this book but I still haven’t read it.
It’s so so so good.
Awesome choice, it was worth it!
I have sort of heard about it but I don’t really know what it’s about or anything. Now I’m curious.
I got this book from the library but never got around to reading it. I’ll have to pick it back up again soon!
Thanks for stopping by 🙂
