Hi y'all! I'm excited to share my review of Number the Stars by Lois Lowry today. Fun fact, Lois Lowry is a two time Newbery Medal winner--her other Newbery winning novel is The Giver. I read this one at the end of 2018 as part of my Newbery Challenge. I have heard the title of this …

Hi y'all! Hope your Memorial Day weekend has been fun. We are in full blown summer over here and I'm not sure if I'm ready for it! Time to get a pool pass 😉 Today I am excited to share a review on The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. I have not been finishing books …
Happy Wednesday, my friends! I've been quiet for a little while here. We've just returned from a trip to visit family for my sister's wedding. It was a wonderful celebration but we're glad to be home and getting back into our normal routines. I'm going back to a book I finished last month for today's …
Hi y'all! Hope your week is going well! We've got a busy weekend ahead of us celebrating my sister's wedding. But I managed to squeeze this review in between festivities. I am so excited to share a review of A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle. This novel won the Newbery Medal in 1963. I have …
