THE AGATHAS Plus a Few Other YA Books You Should Read
It’s review roundup time! Every summer I think, “Oh, now I’ll finally have more time to read!” And then, somehow, I have less time?

ONLY A MONSTER Plus a Few Other YA Books You Should Read

4 Months to MSIOY: Broadway Wisdom
Today marks 4 months until the release of My Second Impression of You. I swear the last countdown was just yesterday. I mean, April is one of those short months, or maybe it’s that May has just been so full of activities the 20th has arrived very quickly. Anyway, we’re now on the third backstage pass…

THE LUCKY ONES and a Few Other Books You Should Read
