• Insomnia and other stories

  Insomnia by Sarah Pinborough I figured I should have just one more spooky book to close out Halloween. Well technically it’s more thriller than horror but it has several hallmarks such as crazy killers, superatural threat and the prevailing theme that seeps through ever horror and thriller, who can you trust and can you ever…

• Summer YA

  Debating Darcy by Sayantani DasGupta While I’m usually iffy with Pride and Prejudice adaptations since they’re everywhere, there’s always one that manages a new spin to it that makes me enjoy the story all over again. It helps that the protagonist, Elizabeth is a musical nerd so I immediately connect with her as she sings…

• Lisi Harrison Interview

  1. To start off simple, when did you first begin writing? What were some of your big inspirations? I always wanted to write, I think I always had those voices in my head my whole life. When I first read Harriet the Spy when I was younger, I loved the idea of observing people. And…

• The Dirty Book Club Review

  This book sucks you in right from the beginning though there is not much sucking involved to be honest. But that’s okay because the book club is lot less about sex but the friendship bonds that form around it. It’s like the next generation of the Sisterhood of Traveling Pants!

• A Reason for Hope Review

  I have to tell a sort of funny story but when I skimmed the summary, I really skimmed. I thought this was a true, nonfictional story about a rape sruvivor, Tessa, her lawyer, Will and his comfort dog, Hope as they fight to put her rapist in jail. While falling in love by the way.…

• Book Highlight: Suite Scarlett

  This was the first book I read in the middle school library, and I have lked it ever since. It’s not too groundbreaking, it has the rather generic coming of age story of a teenage girl. Only hers is that she and the rest of their family are trying to save their dying hotel. It…
