I was forced to read this book for school this semester. I shouldn't be super negative about it, because it has been on my TBR long before I was assigned to read it for one of my history classes, but let's say I had mixed feelings about this book, more personal mixed feelings than I … Continue reading Book Review: All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque

Book Review: Life of Pi by Yann Martel

But I'm the type of person who … Continue reading Blog Announcement: Camp NaNoWriMo 2018
