His innocence was overshadowed by a constant struggle for survival, leaving him with little hope for a brighter future.

Compass Flame. Runner-Up in Book Club Challenge.
Fourth grade was a weird year for me. It led to other weird years, which have made up my life up to this point. For context, I have an older brother. When he aged into middle school, we had to switch our school campus. All of the people I knew and the halls I had spent hours and hours in were switched. I left my friends, got glasses, and attended class with a new group of 20ish kids who all knew each other since they were in kindergarten.

Little Book, Big Message
Is it possible to look back and pick defining moments in our reading lives? I was nearing the end of college, probably about the time many get obsessed with new jobs and new relationships. Some are starting families and just cannot find the same amount of time to read. I think I was one or two bad books from watching more tv and reading less.

Y.A. Fiction Isn't Just For Kids
Nothing can quite describe the joy of walking through the Junior's or Young Adult section of a library when you're a kid. Moving up at last from picture books to chapter books is a heck of a milestone: for once you feel grown up, sophisticated, not like the babies sitting in a circle for story time and hand puppets. It's a feeling that can't quite be explained, and once that magic is gone it's almost impossible to recapture it.

On the Outside. Top Story - August 2023.
No, I did not live a life filled with rumbles and small-town crime and golden sunsets. Nonetheless, S.E. Hinton's "The Outsiders" is one novel that always manages to draw me back, especially when I'm reminded of my "outsider" ways myself.
