The Social Media Scaries: People Like Her
Book Review: People Like Her by Ellery Lloyd People Like Her is promoted as “a razor-sharp, wickedly smart suspense debut,” and I wholeheartedly agree with that assessment. This book is a cautionary tale about social media, motherhood, and appearances not being what they seem. Told from three points of view, the story is fast-paced and … Continue reading “The Social Media Scaries: People Like Her”

Reviewing Mango Street
The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros The House on Mango Street is one of those books I should have read a long time ago.

The Fire Next Time
Book Review: “The Fire Next Time” by James Baldwin I really enjoyed Baldwin’s essays in “The Fire Next Time.” The powerful subject matter of racial discrimination made me hurt and think, two actions that only a truly amazing writer can impart on a reader.
