So people always ask me how I decide what books I'm going to read, and the simple answer to that question is PRICE, although I do also like a good synopsis. Goodreads is a fantastic site, as if I don't laud their praises enough, but they recently started this new thing called "Goodreads Deals" where … Continue reading Ticker by Lisa Mantchev

I will admit that this type of story is not my usual cup of tea (anything having to do with religion tends to scare me off … Continue reading The Wonder by Emma Donoghue
