I feel so fortunate that I grew up with Dr. Seuss. It was a more wonderful than wonderful childhood – with themed days at school, that excellent Christmas special where being a Grinch has entered our lexicon, and then finally, my bits of leadership were memorialized by Oh The Places You’ll Go. I cannot imagine being […]
Emmy & Oliver by Robin Benway | Book Review
July 24, 2015
I have never met a Robin Benway book that I didn’t like — and you guys, I have read every single one of her books, except for her bit in Dear Teen Me. Emmy & Oliver, Benway’s latest publisher by Harper, continues that tradition. Her books are for people that want YA with substance but at the […]

A Corner Of White by Jaclyn Moriarty | Audiobook Review
July 9, 2015
Why Did I Listen To This Book? I feel like my friends are really into Jaclyn Moriarty and I have never read her, not even The Year Of Secret Assignments and so I was feeling all kinds of left out. I had obtained a copy of A Corner Of White via Netgalley and then a hardcover magically […]
