I feel like Martine Leavitt is an underrated children’s and young adult literature gem. My first encounter with Leavitt’s books was with My Book Of Life By Angel, a book that really made me think and depressed me and ugh, all the things. Calvin is my second experience reading one of Leavitt’s books, but one that has […]
Crenshaw by Katherine Applegate | Audiobook Review
November 10, 2015
Why Did I Listen To This Book? Personally, I love how Katherine Appelgate writes – especially her award winning fiction. I absolutely loved The One And Only Ivan which won the Newbery award.

September 22, 2015
Last year I swooned just a little bit over A Little Something Different by the up and coming Sandy Hall, citing it as a read similar in tone to that of Rainbow Rowell’s books. This year, Hall is back with a brand new addition, Signs Point To Yes, an adorable young adult romantic romp about a girl named […]
