Geography Club by Brent Hartinger
So, I’m really late in the game with this one. When I first looked up the release date of Geography Club, I was shocked. How can this book, a book which feels more relevant than ever, be over twenty years old? Russel Middlebrook is gay, and alone, despite being in the middle ground of popularity.Continue reading “Geography Club by Brent Hartinger”

Social Media: Hatred’s Magnifying Glass
In a world where hate seems so prevalent, why is it I don’t experience this pain in real life?

I can’t breath, I chokeContinue reading “Social Media: Hatred’s Magnifying Glass”
Boy Like Me by Simon James Green
Oh My God, that’s the first phrase that comes to mind when thinking of Boy Like Me. I’ve never read such a novel and have nothing but positives to say about it. I laughed, cried, loved, and was overcome with anger all in the same sitting; yes, I read it in twenty-four hours. It’s aContinue reading “Boy Like Me by Simon James Green”
