Five Feet Apart is one that I've had for a while but haven't gotten a chance to read and Aman, which I've owned for at least 15 years and have been meaning to review. Because both of these are short reviews, I've decided to combine… Continue reading Two Short Reviews, Five Feet Apart and Aman: The Story of a Somali Girl
Aftershocks, Phill Featherstone
I hadn’t read book one in this series, but I don’t feel like I missed out on anything. Though I want to go back and read book 1. The pacing was mixed on this for me.
