There’s a certain kind of book that I find really hard to read. It’s when it has this tone–this disaffected, aimless melancholy.

Radio Silence is a YA novel aboutRead More

Megan G reviews Kiss Me Again, Paris by Renate Stendhal
Never has a memoir enraptured me as completely as Kiss Me Again, Paris. Renate Stendhal reached through the pages and took me by the hand, pulling me back into Paris in the 1970’s and into her skin. To read Stendhal’s account of her life in Paris is to live it. Never has reading a bookRead More

Aoife reviews Thaw by Elyse Springer
**/* Closer to a 2 than a 3, but it gets bonus points for asexuality and librarians. I was really excited about this book–I downloaded it literally as soon as I saw the email.
