Naomi Novick’s Uprooted is wholly original and yet feels staunchly rooted and steeped in tradition. Drawn to Uprooted by the various glowing reviews from my favorite authors, I picked up Novick’s latest release and spent days savoring it. I did not rip through this book because it’s the kind that demands you take your time and absorb the […]

May 20, 2015
Why Did I Listen To This Book? You guys! I always think that I am super well read but then I come across books by mega super star authors that I have not read and realize, whoa, I am not nearly as well read as I thought I was. Alice Hoffman is one of those […]
