Back in 2013, the Tumblr community started a special book club with their first book: Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. From the moment I read the description, I was here for this: Twins who had grown up fans of the popular YA book series, bonding over writing and reading fanfiction, going …
This book was so great I immediately had a mighty need for it to be a series. I considered waiting until after I’d read the Prequel, “Down Among The Sticks And Bones”, but figured I could use the same justifications to wait until I’d read “Beneath The Sugar Sky” and …
Rahima is a girl who becomes a Bacha Posh to remedy her family’s lack of a son. She is allowed to go to school longer than her sisters, work to help support her family, and enjoy the freedoms that young men have in Afghanistan. When she’s 13, a warlord comes …

Recently, my office changed the dress code to limit graphic tees throughout the week. This isn’t a bad thing, of course; we’re a professional office with clients who pop in all the time, so we need to look professional. Pretty important stuff. But how am I supposed to profess my …
I try not to do this and I know I do it more than I should, but I’m gonna talk about books I haven’t read. That’s right, it’s Shade time. Have you ever picked up a book that was super popular and tried to read it and found out that …
