Sometimes I am an idiot and read mediocre books with fast approaching release dates while letting the good ones languish in a pile. YOU GUYS, I let Orleans by Sherri L. Smith languish, like a total idiot, and let me tell you I have all of the regrets, because this book was AMAZING. Yes, all caps […]
The Vine Basket | Josanne La Valley | Book Review
April 30, 2013
The Vine Basket by Josanne La Valley caught my eye because of the beautifully illustrated cover that matches the title and the contents of the book.

Sunrise Over Fallujah Walter Dean Myers Audiobook Review
October 27, 2012
Why do I like reading military based books so much? I’ve never been a soldier. I’m scared witless of guns. But, I love reading about camaraderie. I love reading about bravery and courage under fire, so to speak. When I first came across Sunrise Over Fallujah by Walter Dean Myers, it was at the library in […]
