Back in the Dark Ages called my 8th grade year, I participated in a banned book competition. The teams were given trivia about specific books and — bzzz! — we had to buzz in with the correct title or author. One book I was asked to read was Animal Farm, and it shocked me to my core! The academic team coach, Mr. Price, was my favorite teacher of all time. Looking back through a teacher’s eyes, I appreciate what he risked to expose his class to banned books. The idea of banned books encouraged me to challenge ideas and think for myself. Even now, almost 30 years later, I want to read all of the banned books.

This lovely book cover might take your breath away, but wait until you read it! Freedom’s Ring by Heidi Chiavaroli volleys back and forth between the Boston Marathon aftermath and the Boston Massacre. Interesting contrast! [Read more…]

Life is hard, people. No matter what circumstances we face daily, whether we’re in a first-world or third-world country, despite our color or gender or religion….life is hard. Think about the last time someone offered encouragement to help you rise to a challenge. It’s time to take the Encouragement Dare and pay it forward. [Read more…]

The Lost Causes could have been a 1980s movie starring Molly Ringwald. Well, if Molly Ringwald had a black-hair buzz cut.
I think it’s interesting that this book is classified under the teen loners and outcasts genre. Think of traditional outcasts stories (like, The Outcasts?) and add a paranormal twist. [Read more…]

Sadly, I broke up with Birchbox this year after many years of getting the subscription box. Lately, I just wasn’t feeling the love with my box. The joy of getting new cosmetics (especially mascara and eyeliner) was muted by all the self tanners and stinky shampoos that kept coming. Did anyone even look at my profile?! The final nail in the coffin was the change in points. [Read more…]

Pam Hillman’s The Promise of Breeze Hill (A Natchez Trace Novel) was an option to review from Tyndale. I’d read her Western novel Claiming Mariah so I took a chance on this one. It was the perfect read for a cool fall day. [Read more…]

We’ve never been lucky enough to find an actual shark tooth when visiting the beach….but that doesn’t mean my little shark hunter hasn’t tried! I don’t really want to see one attached to the creature, and we did see a shark the last time we went to Virginia Beach. My son loves to learn facts about animals and so, thankfully, the Shark Factivity book offers the best of both worlds. [Read more…]
