Do you have the habit of hanging on to a book by an author that you love because there is not a new book on the horizon and you just want one book by that author to read in a tight spot? For me – that book was Paper Towns by John Green. I have […]
Calvin by Martine Leavitt | Book Review
November 11, 2015
I feel like Martine Leavitt is an underrated children’s and young adult literature gem. My first encounter with Leavitt’s books was with My Book Of Life By Angel, a book that really made me think and depressed me and ugh, all the things. Calvin is my second experience reading one of Leavitt’s books, but one that has […]

Thus, Blood And Salt by debut author Kim Liggett really appealed to me. This book has been pitched as Romeo And Juliet meets Children Of The Corn and […]
