Why Did I Listen To The Luck Uglies by Paul Durham? The Luck Uglies by Paul Durham has such a great cover. I am really into the blue-green color palette of the cover. Of all the books on my Hoopla TBR, The Luck Uglies happened to be the shortest. It is a bit of a shallow […]
Guys Read: Terrifying Tales edited by Jon Scieszka | Book Review
February 1, 2017
Guys Read: Terrifying Tales is a part of the Guys Read short story anthologies. These anthologies are aimed at engaging middle grade boys into reading.
