Title: What We Saw Author: Aaron Hartzler Genre: Young Adult Publisher: HarperTeen Release Date: September 2015 Format: Hardcover Pages: 321 I would first like to say how refreshing it is to have a male author step forward and address rape culture the way that Aarom Hartzler has done with What We Saw. Rape culture is so ...
Columbine. What comes to mind when I say that word? For me, I remember the aftershocks of terror that enveloped a nation. I remember the difference in school afterwards. I remember having evacuation drills for shootings and bomb threats. I remember school doors being locked so that no one could get in or out. I ...
Title: The Siren Series: The Original Sinners Author: Tiffany Reisz Genre: Erotica, Romance Format: Kindle I don’t know what to say here. This book was surprising. It went places I didn’t see coming.

I have recovered from my book slump! Woo hoo! Currently I am reading three very different books, but I am loving each in their own right. Firstly, I started Meredith Wild’s Hacker series and am reading Hardwired. This is a mature (18+) book. I am loving the characters right now. The push and pull between ...
