Blog Tour: Spill Zone: The Broken Vow

Welcome to the next stop on the SPILL ZONE: THE BROKEN VOW blog tour. Even though we’ve been more or less on hiatus, I wanted to come back and discuss this duology, because it’s the sort of graphic novel series that my entire family enjoys. It’s got a little bit of something for everyone: gorgeous,…

Happy Fourth! YA Books That Take You Across America

Happy Fourth! YA Books That Take You Across America

Happy Fourth of July, TLR readers! Remember this viral image from Epic Reads? I love it and am sharing it today, because reading is a way of traveling, whether it’s across our country, the world, or the universe. There is plenty that’s pretty scary and awful right now, but I firmly believe that reading makes…

Books We Adore: One of Us Is Lying

Books We Adore: One of Us Is Lying

Reading One of Us is Lying was the result of a social media twist. I somehow started following Karen McManus on Twitter some time ago, and it’s been a kick to watch in real time as her book went from unpublished to New York Times Best-Seller. It’s a well-deserved place as she put together something…

Books We Adore: The Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds

Today is the 50th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., so we wanted to share a review not of a Civil Rights-era historical novel, but a novel that explores many of the issues still facing the African-American community, and therefore should be of importance to all Americans. –Sandie Shhhh. Don’t tell…

Realizing his mistake, he helped to recapture the evil and accepted his banishment from the world of the Bards. But it turns out…

November 28, 2017 by Erin Leave a Comment

Books We Adore: To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before Trilogy

The To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before books are the first Jenny Han books I’ve read, and I have to admit I’m in love. I don’t know if I’ve read any other book that feels so real. Like the reader is peeking into Lara Jean’s life. There are so many mundane everyday moments mixed…

Editor’s Pick: The Suffering Tree by Ellie Cosimano

The Suffering Tree by Elle Cosimano Victoria Burns doesn’t want to be part of her new community any more than the residents want her there. She and her mother and brother were given the house by the town patriarch, Aloysius Slaughter, after his death, despite never having met him and having seemingly no connection to…
