New Release+Review: The Hive by Barry Lyga & Morgan Baden

Review I will say that reading this book has made me think twice about my own social media usage. This book is about a group of people called the Hive who dole out social media justice when needed. Lord. Imagine if an organization like this really existed? A lot of people would be in BIG trouble. In my opinion, social […]

Review Tour: The Day He Came Back by Penelope Ward

I LOVED Gavin and Raven and my heart ached so hard for them as I read. They had so many obstacles in their way and I just wanted […]
