The story of my reading life is WHY DID I NOT READ THE BOOK I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT SOONER? And you know what? I am kind of okay with that because it means that there is always another good book just around the corner for me. Like, for instance, The Orphan Queen by Jodi Meadows. […]
Cassie: Vanishing Girls by Lauren Oliver | Book Review
August 14, 2015

The Turtle Of Oman by Naomi Shihab Nye is an adorable book that will certainly get good mileage among its intended audience – elementary school children. I read this book rather quickly in the span of a day or two. I am not particularly attached to this book but I do feel it was okay […]
