Hi friends, this month I’ll be taking you into the past. Not too far away, just under a century or so. To be specific, the books I chose this month all take place during the Second World War; from 1939 to 1945. A time when my grandparents were bringing up my parents. So, if you want to see which titles I’ll be reviewing, press below please…

Continue reading “The Crossover series by Kwame Alexander”Hi everyone, I planned this post several weeks ago and in the beginning I was intending on giving you a few short reviews in one post. Since then, I’ve had to think really hard about my choices and decided on giving you just one book instead. To be honest, the majority of sports-themed teen reads I found had very few scenes on the field and more indoors, so I had to abandon that strategy and look further. In the end, the title I decided to review came to me by way of one of my colleagues in the library I work for. (Thanks Kathy 🙂) I hope you all enjoy the title I’m sharing with you this week.

Hi friends, this June I’m celebrating a theme that’s dear to my heart: Sisterhood!! To paraphrase our esteemed Jane Austen; “It’s a truth universally acknowledged that, within any family that’s made up of girls lies an unbreakable bond of sisterhood…” Yes, this month I’m planning on focusing on that unique bond I share with my sister, and the sisters around me. Hope to see you below so I can regale you with what’s in store for you later…
