If you’re an avid reader, chances are you spend A LOT of your free time in bookstores (or on your Kindle, buying novels), and if you go to the bookstore A LOT, you probably have that one favorite section you always find yourself drawn to. New Authors is the first section I go to. Maybe… Continue reading Relax & Read: The Faster I Walk, the Smaller I Am

Relax & Read: History of a Suicide: My Sister’s Unfinished Life
Yesterday, after posting on my website, I returned to Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites where I was swarmed with this name: Amanda Todd. If you’ve been on the Internet recently, then you know exactly what I’m about to talk about. This 15-year-old Canadian, posted a video to YouTube about bullies, and—five weeks later—she… Continue reading Relax & Read: History of a Suicide: My Sister’s Unfinished Life
Relax & Read: The Forest of Hands and Teeth
If you’re anything like me, the month of October is filled with pumpkin spiced lattes, witchy movies, cuddling with your black cat (okay, maybe not this one), and reading spooky novels that haunt your dreams.

Sunday is the perfect day to spend all afternoon in bed, curled up with that novel you’ve been meaning to read. And if you don’t already have one (or a billion!) on your reading list, I’m here to help! I first read Jonathan Safran Foer’s novel, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, in 2005 when I… Continue reading Relax & Read: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
Relax & Read: The Perks of Being a Wallflower
I’m really excited to be recommending this truly touching novel as my first book recommendation. I’m a HUGE advocate of reading a novel BEFORE the movie adaptation, so I’m here to discuss the epistolary novel (which is a fancy way of saying it’s written in letter-format) and not the movie that’s released in one week… Continue reading Relax & Read: The Perks of Being a Wallflower
