It’s That Time of Year…
The Holiday Season is upon us. We celebrate Christmas as a time to give and be with family. Once upon a time we went all out. We found things second hand and gave gave gave. We learned quickly that our kids really wanted a few things and so over the years we narrowed our giving […]
Spoiler Free Review of Good Intentions by Kasim Ali
We’re about halfway through the month, so I reckon it’s time to talk a bit about our book club selection for our discussion on December 14th. For December, we picked Good Intentions, an adult novel that takes a hard and unflinching look at the intersection of religion, ethnicity, race and relationships. A lot of stuff […]

We Light Up The Sky…
I have We Light Up The Sky and I am still sitting with it. I cannot decide if I didn’t like it, if I thought the writing was too young, if it was too many things happening… There’s something that I cannot put my finger on. Let’s chat though, about the narrator. There are not […]

Again, much like Aetherbound, the science fiction inherent to the story wasn’t the focus of the story and its complexity didn’t get in the way of the storytelling. […]
No Spoilers Review of Don’t Ask Me Where I’m From
I was on the way back from Maryland on the train when I finished this book. I had dropped off the youngest at LGBTQ Leadership camp and was trying to keep my composure in such a public place (I did okay) so I was glad to have Don’t Ask Me Where I’m From as a […]
Microaggressions and Don’t Ask Me Where I’m From
I’m about three quarters of the way through the book and this is a book I wish I had had when I was a new teacher. There are many cringe worthy moments in this book. And while there are some similar themes between Indivisible and Don’t Ask Me Where I’m From, the latter really shows […]

Why YA?
I am a former English teacher. Before kids I worked with the library to teach preschool teachers how to implement literacy objectives into their story times (literally the best job ever!) I read adult books, but when I need something quick, I turn to YA and children’s books. So why pick a YA book for […]
