Scythe by Neal Shusterman ~ Book Review!!!

Scythe is a futuristic fantasy story. It takes place at a time where humanity has cured disease and death and therefore are essentially immortal, so there are Scythes who are chosen to glean a certain small percentage of the population. It is done to mimic the normal death cycles from when people were mortal. Teens

Red Rising by Pierce Brown ~ Book Review!!!

“Red Rising” is the first book of dystopian series (I think 5 novels now) that takes place on the colonized Mars. It’s a whirl wind of intensity right from the start! I can’t wait to share this review with you. I will try not to do spoilers! I am always looking for a good dystopian

Landscape With Invisible Hand by M.T Anderson ~ Book Review

M.T. Anderson’s newest book is really a thinker. I love his writing style and the parallels that he draws to the real world. This story is told through the imagery of Adam’s art with each chapter exploring the setting for his art pieces and what is going on in his life. In this story Alien

Weird Ways to Discover Books

Squared’s Scrolls – Government Banned Books

I’ve always been interested in banned books, it’s absurd to me that a school or people would want to ban books being read for one reason or another. The first time I heard of banned books I was 9 years old and Harry Potter just came out… my school district didn’t have any banned books,

Squared’s Scrolls – The Rereadables

I will admit very quickly that I have a horrible time rereading a book. The images in my head of the story, and especially the ending, are very vivid and burned into my mind. Usually when I pick up a book that I loved I have a hard time starting it again because within a
