Why Did I Listen To This Book?: There’s something about magical boarding schools that will convince me that I cannot live without having read THE BOOK every single time. Y’all, the concept of The School For Good And Evil by Soman Chainani was so cool that I knew I had to listen to it. Frankly, […]
Allison: All The Right Stuff | Walter Dean Myers | Book Review
July 30, 2013
All The Right Stuff by Walter Dean Myers is a really well written book that discusses the idea of the social contract and the implications that it has on different parts of society.
