You know those pretty pictures you see online of people’s books posed with flowers or ice cream or Christmas lights? Those pretty “book aesthetic” pictures? I challenge you to take some of your own!

My Summer Reading

It’s that time of year again! Earlier this month, some of my siblings and I signed up for our library’s summer reading program. (Half of them have already reached their goals. XD) I had so much fun helping my sisters pick out what to read! I passed out index cards and recommendations, and we spent a whole half hour just sitting in front of the bookshelf and talking books. So much fun.

He Knows My Name

I’m the third born (out of eight) in my family, but I’m a quintessential middle child.

Book Review: The Bicycle Spy

[image error]“Marcel loves riding his bicycle, whether he’s racing through the streets of his small town in France or making bread deliveries for his parents’ bakery. He dreams of someday competing in the Tour de France, the greatest bicycle race. But ever since Germany’s occupation of France began two years ago, in 1940, the race has been canceled. Now there are soldiers everywhere, interrupting Marcel’s rides with checkpoints and questioning.

Then Marcel learns two big secrets, and he realizes there are worse things about the war than a canceled race. When he later discovers that his friend’s entire family is in imminent danger, Marcel knows he can help — but it will involve taking a risky bicycle ride to pass along covert information. And when nothing ends up going according to plan, it’s up to him to keep pedaling and think quickly… because his friend, her family, and his own future hang in the balance.” (from Goodreads)

I’ve loved everything I’ve read by this author, so when my sisters brought this home from the library (and I suddenly remembered it was on my TBR XD), I was excited to read it.

Blog Tour, Anyone?

I had planned this whole spoof of the Les Mis barricade song that went something like “this is the music of an author who is finished with red pen”, but I have a couple hours worth of bondage left.
