Sometimes it’s really not the best idea to read something out of nostalgia. It just doesn’t ever seem to live up to your childhood based expectations. I picked up The Dead Boyfriend by RL Stine hoping to recapture the delight of childhood. I especially loved the Fear Street books in middle school. Thus, I thought perhaps […]
Young Scrooge by RL Stine | Book Review
December 5, 2016
I love how many different iterations there are of Charles Dickens’ Christmas classic, A Christmas Carol. RL Stine’s Young Scrooge adds a bit of a twist to Dickens’ tale and adapts it for a younger audience.

This Adventure Ends | The Amateurs | The Rest Of Us Just Live Here
November 7, 2016

Any other way and I think you will miss out. Jason Segel, of How I Met Your Mother fame, narrates the series. He’s also co-author too. […]

Firewalker by Josephine Angelini | Book Review
January 11, 2016
Firewalker by Josephine Angelini is the sequel to Trial By Fire and OMG, you guys, this book totally raises the stakes of the previous book. I think right here is a good stopping point if you have not read Trial By Fire because, trust, I know how bookworms feel about spoilers. Also? Firewalker is the kind of book […]
