    by Caleigh November 19, 2018

    Review: Family Trust

    by Megan November 13, 2018
    by Megan November 13, 2018

    The cover Family Trust is beautiful and eye-catching — the bright red a nod to the Chinese-American family it surrounds, the embossed gold design an indicator of their wealth. And, though itโ€™s enough to make anyone give it a second …

    Review: Marilla of Green Gables

    by Rachel November 7, 2018
    by Rachel November 7, 2018

    As an avid fan of Anne of Green Gables, I was delighted to discover that Sarah McCoy wrote a book about Marilla’s history. However, with such news comes inevitable trepidation. It’s rare for a prequel or sequel to live up …

    by Becky November 6, 2018
    by Becky November 6, 2018

    When was the last time you used a physical, printed map? No zooming in and out, no street view, no search boxes. I absolutely love geography and the physical sciences so I find maps fascinating. If you don’t, National Geographic’s …

    Review: November Road

    by Joli October 24, 2018
    by Joli October 24, 2018

    I chose to read this book because I was looking for something different. Something purely entertaining. Something outside of my usual read. That’s what I got with November Road. This book starts with two seemingly completely unrelated people and slowly …

    Book Review: Lifesaving for Beginners

    by Allison October 16, 2018
    by Allison October 16, 2018

    Even though Iโ€™m not a huge fan of nonfiction, I love a good memoir. To me, I find that memoirs often read like fiction. Also, the human experience is always fascinating. I find someone elseโ€™s reflections on their life helpful …
