Welcome to my new blog! I can’t wait to share all of my insights and reviews to the variety of books I will be reading this summer and throughout the year. I hope you enjoy all the reviews and please feel free to comment if you share my thoughts or if you have a different take on any of the books I review! Also, please feel free to take a look at some of my writing as well, but I do ask that if you don’t have anything nice to say about it, don’t say anything at all. I hope you have fun reading my blog and everything else! -The Reading Teacher @ 3591.
