American Dirt

The Book Nook

American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins is FIRE! I can’t honestly do this one justice, so I’m not going to try. I work in a community that is 97% Hispanic. I work in a school with students that have fled countries that were no longer safe. I work with students that I don’t know a single …

The Book Nook

With the current state of our nation and all of the events surrounding the pandemic that is Covid-19, I’ve decided to take this Spring Break and the next few weeks to really catch up on a few book reviews.

Once Upon a River

The Book Nook

After what has felt like weeks of reading Once Upon a River, I am finally finished with this intricate story. Although I want to say I am in love with this Diane Setterfield piece, I am only “in like” with it. To be completely honest, on page 60 something, I texted my friend confused out …
