The Serpent King by Jeff Zentner is among the best books I’ve read so far in 2016, debut or no. I suppose it is a bit premature to proclaim this already in March. However, there was something about Zentner’s The Serpent King that really spoke to me on a deeper level. This book is beautiful, […]
Bleed Like Me by Christa Desir | Book Review
March 7, 2016
Bleed Like Me by Christa Desir is a book that I picked up because it was wicked short and also because I really, really loved her debut, Fault Line. Unfortunately, I do not think I was quite in the right mindset or place when I read Bleed Like Me. I had been hoping for something that resonated […]
