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. So, obviously I am not the only person who thinks Appelgate has writing chops. When I requested this book for review, the […]
Abracadabra: The Story Of Magic Through The Ages by HP Newquist | Book Review
November 6, 2015
When I was in second grade, I would always get books out of the library about magic and magic tricks. These books were circa 1970s printing. I only ever learned one trick which was how to make a pencil look like it was bending – so I guess you can call me an illusionist. Let’s […]
Blue Mountain by Martine Leavitt | Book Review

I personally find Israel and the controversy surrounding it fascinating. I was serving in the Army National Guard while I was in college and was hoping to pursue a career in law […]
