Surprisingly, I’ve never read a Sarah Strohmeyer book before and by all indicators I would be into her writing. I’ve heard that her previous two YA books were light and fluffy and fun. The Secrets Of Lily Graves, however, is a departure from the alleged light, fluffy, fun read that I guess Smart Girls Get What They […]
The Truth About Alice by Jennifer Mathieu | Book Review
June 17, 2014
Jennifer Mathieu’s The Truth About Alice is a book predicated on a rather intense concept.

Acampora’s book was the first book I read during the spring 2014 Dewey Readathon. Frankly, there is something to be […]
