  • “The Inheritance Games” by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

    I finished reading this over the weekend. This was quite the twisty novel. There were lots of things that were a shocker thrown in there throughout but I like that. It keeps you on your toes (and it kept me entertained). What I found out at the end was a surprise but it shouldn’t have…

  • Why Reading is the Best Thing Since Sliced Bread

    Escapism I love the ability to be able to visit different worlds without having to leave my couch.

  • 3 Ways Reading is More Refreshing Than New Socks

    Okay, I know the title might seem a little bit odd but I hope that you’ll enjoy this article anyway. First, I’ve always enjoyed reading because it allows me to travel to new places without having to leave the comforts of my home (and I’m sure it’s a lot cheaper than actual travel as well).…
