Ten Rules of the Birthday Wish is a cute, funny and traditional birthday celebration. Tom Litchenheld’s has created colorful, funny and rowdy illustrations. It might not be the best gift to give as a birthday gift, but it would more likely be a fun read before you have a party. But make sure you or the person putting on the party has read it before you introduce it to the child. This is to make sure that you know all the rules and are prepared […]

The silence depressed me. It wasn’t the silence of silence. It was my own silence.

I have the glorious honor of introducing one of my mentor’s new books to our school on Monday. And what a book it was! But first, backstory….Eliot Shrefer was the second reader for my thesis, and the teacher who really taught me to story-board and get to the nitty-gritty about my novel. It’s safe to say I’m a little indebted to him, so I was very excited to get a copy of his newest book and be asked to write an introduction for his interview. […]

Thanks to the quirks of inter-library loan, I received To All The Boys I Loved Before and its sequel P.S I Still Love You at the same time. Little did I know; my library was doing me a favor because Han’s sequel works best if the reader consumes it immediately after reading To All The Boys. In fact, I feel like Jennie Han encourages the reader to binge read both books back to back because the events of the second book pick up a mere […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
