The Matched Trilogy is one that has been on my to-read list for a while, and since I found all three at the library, I figured that it was finally time to check them off my list. Matched, the first book is set in a future where the Society decides everything that you do; whoRead More
Summer Reading
So it has been awhile since I’ve updated this, but I have been doing lots of reading, mostly along the same theme. I’ve been doing a lot of reading for my senior project that I will be doing in the fall, writing a young adult novel featuring a transgender character. So, all of my booksRead More
The Imperfectionists
The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman is a book that I picked up at the library’s used book sale, because I thought that it looked interesting, and I had seen it at Barnes and Noble a few days before.

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
