  • Through Black Spruce by Joseph Boyden

And yet it’s a wonderful modern mystery as we try to understand what has happened to Suzanne and we…

  • The Shallows by Nicholas Carr

    When Nicholas Carr wrote the infamous article “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” (2008), he made waves in the education community who had bought into the Marc Prensky vision of today’s students as “digital natives” (2005).  While making impetuous decisions about technology integration in schools, Carr halted everyone into thinking maybe we should be a bit…

  • Seraphina by Rachel Hartman

    Seraphina by Rachel Hartman My rating: 5 of 5 stars Absolutely fabulous. You’ve got to really like dragons (and luckily I do) but Rachel Hartman will have a fan in me forever after this. I hope she’s busy writing a sequel as after I was done I immediately looked for the next one. This is…
