The Weight of Silence & Those Who Took Timmy's Challenge

Timmy and I are over at Love Bytes today "talking" about the inability to speak. Come check it out!

This is an extremely important post and it's important to acknowledge, appreciate, and respect those who took Timmy's Challenge.

The first person to take the Challenge was Anna Lund. Her experiences over the course of twenty-four hours do much to elucidate what we, who cannot speak, go through; and her experiences are heartrending. Thank you for being brave enough to try it, more importantly, end...

Speech and Me by Timmy

I don’t remember everything from my old home, but the memories I do have often haunt me nightly—especially those relating to my struggles with speech. Because my life is mine and private, I will only briefly explain a few key parts of my background. I come from an abusive home and the majority of the physical abuse came from my two older brothers. This is important to know to understand my story. 
Think of a newborn baby, unloved and unwanted. Though I can’t remember it, I was told that I...

Timmy's Review of Pukawiss the Outcast by Jay Jordan Hawke

I truly believe some days that I am not a normal 12-year-old, because I must say that the best part of this book was the history in it. There is nothing I love more than learning, and to add that with my second favorite thing, reading fiction books, you have a happy reader on your hands. There were no parts of the book that I didn’t like. It was interesting and engaging from the very beginning. The story had two key elements for me, history and hope. I also like that though this book’s main c...

Timmy's Review of Carnival Decatur by Zoe Lynne

This story follows four boys in a two week period of time. It tells of love, friendship, and first times. Carnival Decatur was an emotional story that was heartbreaking in some ways and heart stealing in others. Like all books I read, there are things that I loved and things that were not great for me, but overall this was an excellent book and a great story to read.

Jesse is a carny’s son, who has traveled with the carnival for as long as he can remember. Though he lost his mother when he wa...

Timmy's Beta Review of Slaying Isidore's Dragons by C. Kenendy

One thing that is totally awesome about being friends with a YA author is I get to beta-read for him. However, neither my friendship with Cody or the fact that I was a beta-reader played any part in my review of Slaying Isidore’s Dragons. 
Jean-Isidore de Sauveterre and Declan David de Quirke II are both sons of ambassadors, and they both have a lot going on in their lives. Isidore is dealing with an abusive home life and the loss of his mother, while Declan is dealing with the loss of hi...
