This was a very difficult book to bring about talking.  Many of the members found it confusing, difficult to follow, and/or boring.  On top of that out six myself and another were the only ones who finished […]

Review: The Hunger Games

I had no idea what to expect when I first opened The Hunger Games.  All I knew was that 12-year-olds attempt to kill each other.  As I got further in the same phrase kept popping into my head “this is fucked up!”  like “Survivor” on crack, and crack is whack. Right about here I should […]

How Do You Review?

How Do You Review?

As the title states, I ask how do you write your reviews?  Are you a note taker, studying the text meticulously as you read or do you wait until you have finished to sit down and share your thoughts in a collective manner?  I had been a sit down at the conclusion kind of girl […]
