Coming Soon...

It's been a very long time since I last posted and so much has changed. We moved out of Missouri and to the wonderful world of North Carolina, where I am now a part of the Wakefield Middle School Family. I just wanted to stop in really quick and let you know that coming soon is the North Carolina Young Adult book list for this year. I have the books on their way to my house, so reviews will follow as well. Happy Reading!
