What’s your favorite thing to do on a rainy day? Personally, I love curling up on the couch with a good book in hand and watching the hours go by with every page I turn. Here is my list of my favorite rainy day reads. 1. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling This will always […]
Title: Code Name Verity Author: Elizabeth Wein Genre: Young Adult Historical Fiction Quotation: “It’s like being in love, discovering your best friend.” Would recommend to: any history fan that loves a good twist. The title, much like the book, is allusive in nature but focuses on the book much more than readers will originally believe. Code Name Verity, written […]

As mentioned in my latest Treasure Tuesday, Ryan is back for a little bit from Germany. While visiting, he finished “For Your Eyes Only,” a collection of short stories by Ian Fleming featuring everyone’s favorite spy and decided to write a review for you all. Happy reading, Kimberly Fleming departs from novel form, still […]
Title: Fangirl Author: Rainbow Rowell Genre: Young Adult Quotation: “In new situations, all the trickiest rules are the ones nobody bothers to explain to you. (And the ones you can’t Google.)” Would recommend to: people who understand the draw of fan-fiction. “Fangirl”, in my opinion, was a huge disappointment. It didn’t live up to the hype and excitement. Everyone that had read […]
Title: Me Talk Pretty One Day Author: David Sedaris Genre: Essay Quotation: “I can’t promise I’ll never kill anyone again…It’s unrealistic to live your life within such strict parameters.” Would recommend to: anyone that likes short stories. This is one of those books you read excerpts from in high school and people rave about after they read. It’s one of […]
