Lose Yourself in the World of Books
My sister gave me her copy of this book for Christmas a few years ago, along with a copy of the movie. I had thought it a little odd that she was giving me her copy (as neither of us ever want to give up our books) but after reading it, I understood the significance… Continue reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
Well, darn, guess my futile, yet long-cherished, dream of marrying Prince Harry is down the drain. My sincerest congratulations to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on their engagement! Any wedding, and especially a royal one, is always a marvelous affair, and it’s wonderful they have found each other.

So when Sarah told me that if I read Code Name Verity it would break my… Continue reading Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein
