Why Did I Listen To This Book? I listened to Seeker by Arwen Elys Dayton because the narrator, Katharine McEwan narrated one of my favorite audiobooks last year – A Mad Wicked Folly and so I figured because I liked the narrator this would be a good listen.

Reality Boy by AS King | Book Review
January 28, 2015
One thing that I really love about A.S. King’s books are that they make me think. They go to dark places sometimes and really force you to look beyond the surface and examine the deeper themes. On it’s surface, Reality Boy seems like the kind of book I would hate, given how much of the book […]

Well, that happened to me while reading The Bodies We Wear. I am going to warn you right now that this book is really strange and some parts do feel like a bit of a trudge to get through. I spent much of the book confused, however, I ended up pretty satisfied when everything came together and I was no longer in the dark.
