This is my Fahrenheit 451. To this day I have a hard time understanding the minds of people who ban and challenge books. You do not like it? Great. There are another 4 billion books out there.

Natalie Reif Ziarnik has created a lovely, cozy book that is perfect […]

The format of the graphic novel is a unique (but perfect) way of showing how Krosoczka grew up with a heroin addicted […]
