“Maybe some people are just meant to be in the same story.” -Jandy Nelson, I’ll Give You the Sun It’s definitely been a while since I’ve updated this blog, but now that I’ve finished my Master’s, I actually have the time to read what I want to read (gasp). And trust me, the list isRead More
The Hunger Games
So I think I’ve blogged about The Hunger Games multiple times on this site, but each time I read it, I get a new-found appreciation for it.

The 5th Wave
So it’s been a while since I’ve posted, being busy with school and work and other things. But now that I’ve graduated, and it’s summer, I finally have time to read again, which means that I have time to blog again! I’ve started out my summer by reading The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey. The bookRead More
