On April 20th I attended the Houston Teen Book Con at a local high school. It was so cool! And yes, it was kinda awkward being an adult without any teens with me but that’s why I brought a few adult friends. It was great to see all those teens interested in reading. Love that! […]
Julie’s Review I would give this 3.5 stars. I really liked some parts, especially the beginning. Something would happen and shortly after the event no one else would remember.

Rose’s Review Some books can absolutely destroy you, rip out your emotional insides…and then in just 2 words, put you back together. This is exactly what The Sea of Tranquility did to me. Several people that I met at a book signing in January recommended this book to me. Few books that come […]
Rose’s Review Book Movie This book as been somewhat of an enigma for me. I first purchased this book in audiobook format to occupy my time on a long drive home from South Caroline. I nearly fell asleep and wrecked my car! Now, whether that was because I was simply exhausted by […]
