What We Saw by Aaron Hartzler is one hell of a young adult fiction debut. I mean, yes, I knew to expect excellence after reading and really loving Rapture Practice, Hartzler’s memoir, but What We Saw just blew me away. I had plans to eventually read this book but nothing too terribly solid. It was more of […]
This Is Where The World Ends by Amy Zhang | Book Review
February 29, 2016
This Is Where The World Ends by Amy Zhang is her second book, and well, it certainly knocked my socks off just a little bit.

February 11, 2016

Further, with listening to Serial, watching Making Murderer and reading All American Boys, I cannot get enough of media that explores the American justice system, flaws and all.
The White Rose by Amy Ewing | Book Review
January 21, 2016
The White Rose by Amy Ewing is the second in the Lone City series and picks up where The Jewel leaves off. Honestly, I found The White Rose to be an okay sequel, yet kind of bland as well. I mean, as I was reading I sort of confused this plot with The Selection and Red Queen in my mind. If you […]
