The Water Dancer Book Review
Warning: This book review contains references to sexual assault. Within the last two years, there’s been a call to reexamine how the United States views its racist past, slavery in particular.

Carry the One Book Review
I understand that there are some books that are intended to be character studies. The emphasis is on the character and how they deal with things, and the plot is put on the back burner. If done right, they can be pretty engaging with characters so fascinating that readers will look past the thin plot.Continue reading “Carry the One Book Review”
