    Review Roundup

    by Janna June 13, 2017
    by Janna June 13, 2017

    As I noted in my last Review Roundup, it can be difficult to write a full fledged book review for every book you read. For me, writing a short Goodreads’ review can be just enough. Because my last post was …

    Review: Weird in a World That’s Not by Jennifer Romolini

    by Becky June 12, 2017
    by Becky June 12, 2017

    by Joli May 20, 2017
    by Joli May 20, 2017

    Oh my goodness, how I loved this book! I hope Dane Huckelbridge writes more fiction, because I will definitely read it. Castle of Water is the story of castaways on a desert island. Sound cliche? In this novel, it’s not at …
