Book Review: Please Don’t Tell by Laura Tims

February 19, 2023February 19, 2023admin

I bounced back into some more young adult fare with Laura Tims’ Please Don’t Tell. I saw this sitting on my shelf not long after finishing the second, and sadly last, season of One of Us is Lying, and the cover of this book just screamed that it was going to be something similar.

Book Review: None of this Rocks by Joe Trohman

January 18, 2023January 18, 2023admin

You are reading that author’s name correctly. None of this Rocks is a memoir penned by Fall Out Boy guitarist, Joe Trohman. I for one, would have never guessed someone from one of my favorite bands would ever write something so personal. It was quite eye-opening.
