A List Of Cages by Robin Roe is a book that absolutely gutted me. I still feel emotional thinking about my second read of 2017. This is a book that hit really close to home, as my career field of choice is human services-social work. And well, A List Of Cages is one read where it […]
Promise Of Shadows by Justina Ireland | Book Review
January 9, 2017
Promise Of Shadows by Justina Ireland is SUCH a cool book. I mean, seriously there’s blood, there’s identity/soul searching, there’s romance.

This cover is one that convinced me to read the book. I also think it will be eye catching for its intended audience. Thankfully, […]
