Good Morning and Happy Thursday! I want to wish a very happy publication today to the book I have reviewed for you all today. This one ticked off a lot of boxes for me: murder, mystery, quirky characters, and England. I’m so happy to share my thoughts on it! Thanks to NetGalley and Allison and... Continue Reading →
Happy Monday All! I'm here today with July's Challenge Post! The challenge for July was to "read an award-winning young adult book." For this challenge, I chose The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. Wow. I know I'm late to the game and everyone has already agreed on this....but this book is GREAT. Plus...reading it... Continue Reading →
Happy Thursday Everyone! I hope you are all well and thriving! Works begins in a few days on my end and I'm staying busy juggling teaching stuff, book stuff, and buying a house stuff...and I am just so ready for Fall and some cooler weather.
