Hi y'all! I am thrilled to be able to share a review today of C. S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters. This is a review I have looked forward to writing and feared I couldn't possibly do the work justice. Screwtape is a modern day classic and is so powerful that it's difficult to form my …

Hi y'all! Today I'm here with a review of a recent classic: The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank. I think this was my first time reading this book cover to cover. I'm pretty sure I've read excerpts in school growing up. But never completely before now. There's not many books from WWII …
