Today was a day for reading, considering I finished two books. The weather wasn’t very nice outside, and it was just a perfect day to stay inside, curled up with a good book or two. Postcards From No Man’s Land by Aidan Chambers follows the story of Jacob Todd, a 17 year old boy whoRead More
The Vast Fields of Ordinary
So I’ve been reading a lot of LGBTQ young adult literature lately because this fall, I will be writing one of my own! It’ll be my senior honors project, and I’m sure it will be a very interesting experience. The Vast Fields of Ordinary by Nick Burd follows the story of Dade, an 18 year oldRead More
The Hardships of Teen Love
The past two books that I finished definitely seem to have a theme to them. They are both very focused on teenage romantic relationships, especially those between straight and gay characters, and they kind of presented two sides of one coin, and it was interesting to read them back to back. The first book IRead More
The Gone Series
Back in 2008, I first started reading the Gone series, not realizing that it would still keep me hooked 5 books later. Since the last book came out just a few weeks ago, I decided to re-read the whole series, so I could better remember everything that had happened. Re-reading the books reminded me whyRead More
Leverage
Leverage This whole finishing a book a week thing for my young adult literature class is actually kind of satisfying.

What decided this fact about society? While finding that out would take some research, it is something interesting toRead More
Please Stop Laughing at Me…One Woman’s Inspirational Story
As sad as it is, the issue of bullying has become very prevalent in our society. Why? Because people don’t know how to handle it. At least, that’s my opinion. Parents don’t know what to do when their child is being bullied at school, principals and teachers just turn a blind eye to it (thoughRead More
The End of Summer
Since the last time I posted, I have left London (sadness!) and moved up to my apartment at Central. I don’t know if I’m quite ready for another school year to begin, but it will begin all the same. However, I have finished quite a few books since I last posted about books on here.Read More
