Book Review: Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson
I avoided this book and the movie like the plague as a kid, even though I was weirdly obsessed with behind-the-scenes footage of the movie and the whole idea of Terabithia. Even though by now I’ve read much heavier books, I still put it off and had to force myself to pick it up. Honestly,…

Book Review: Just Friends by Haley Pham
As there has been a lot of talk about this book, I went into the story already knowing the beginning, middle, and end. I’m a casual fan of Haley Pham’s, so I don’t feel like I have a particularly strong bias one way or the other. Even before the reviews started dropping, I didn’t expect…

Book Review: Basilicas by Grady Connolly
