The Psychology of Dexter – Bella DePaulo
On the one hand, this book is incredibly nerdy (who reads psychological essays about their favorite show besides me?) and on the other, it is completely engrossing and thought-provoking; I mostly loved The Psychology of Dexter. A couple of the … Continue reading
The Empty Mirror by James Lincoln Collier
This was a book that somehow ended up in my classroom library. The premise seemed interesting: a boy loses his mirror reflection when his image comes to life and the two images both want to live in the one living body. I started … Continue reading

Argh…
So, it has been a rough few weeks around here lately…(ahem, make that a rough few months) and I was trying to think of a good book I can curl up with to relax. I’m feeling the need to withdraw … Continue reading
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
Hmmm…what to say about this book? Well, first off, it is delivered in a clever and underused format. The use of vintage photos as a framework for a story, in this case a ghosty/monster/time travel story, seems refreshing and new. However, the … Continue reading
