I'll give L.M. Montgomery 4 out of 5 birds for Anne's House of Dreams. Anne is one of my all time favorite characters, but I didn't feel like she was all there in this book. I had glimpses of her, but I didn't get the same feelings as some of the first few books. I... Continue Reading →

I give The Coddling of the American Mind by Jonathan Haidt 5 out of 5 birds. I was hovering between 4 and 5 but decide to up it because I've seen in a difference in how I process information since reading it. There were so many quotes from it that I want to memorize and... Continue Reading →
