Bless the library for having my hold of What Light by Jay Asher to me at exactly the right time. I’ll admit to being initially annoyed when out of nowhere, my hold was cancelled. However, I put it back on hold (TAKE THAT) and I got to read What Light two weekends before Christmas. I really enjoyed […]
Young Scrooge by RL Stine | Book Review
December 5, 2016
I love how many different iterations there are of Charles Dickens’ Christmas classic, A Christmas Carol. RL Stine’s Young Scrooge adds a bit of a twist to Dickens’ tale and adapts it for a younger audience.

So, of course, I absolutely KNEW that I needed to read Spending the Holidays […]

December 1, 2014
I am such a sucker for Christmas and holiday themed stories. I guess you can say that I am an easy mark. When I first saw the cover for My True Love Gave To Me: Twelve Holiday Stories edited by Stephanie Perkins, I immediately wanted to read it. I had not even seen the star studded […]
