Sometimes you just need a sweet, light romantic young adult contemporary book in between heavier tomes. There are certain books that have this non-committal feel, like you don’t have to become heavily invested in the books because they are not all that deep and won’t affect you to the core, BUT these are the books […]
Furious | Jill Wolfson | Book Review
May 8, 2013
Straight up, I will forever and always love books about the Furies, the avenging Greek goddesses, because I LOVE reading about stories of revenge and people getting their just deserts.

May 2, 2013
There was so much about Fat Angie by e.E. Charlton-Trujillo that I wanted to like. For starters, it was a coming-of-age story filled with issues: issues of bullying, weight, family, mental health, and LGBTQ questioning. It felt like it was compelling, and it was a pretty quick read once I really got into it but, […]
