Book Review: The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt

I’ve just published a review of Jonathan Haidt’s The Anxious Generation — a book that has stayed with me long after I finished reading it. Haidt’s exploration of smartphones, social media, childhood, and the mental health of young people feels particularly timely as parents are increasingly navigating questions about screens, algorithms, and when (and how) our children should enter the online world.

As a parent raising a young reader, this one resonated with me in a particularly personal way.

Book Review: Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke

My book club is reading Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke this month, and it’s been a thrilling and provocative read. I’m so excited to hear what the rest of the group things, but this is one of the most interesting and engaging novels I’ve read this year. It absolutely lives up to the hype.

Book Review: Rain of Shadows and Endings by Melissa K. Roehrich

Rain of Shadows and Endings isn’t falling at the top of my book recommendations for this year. I’ll admit, this book was a struggle to get through, and I can say with certainty that I won’t be reading on in this series. I struggled a lot with the themes and the violence in this book. This book won’t be for everyone, and it definitely wasn’t for me.

Book Review: Rites of the Starling by Devney Perry

Told in two perspectives, this book is gripping in its exploration of the magic of Calandra. The world expands even further in interesting and contradictory ways as the reader is introduced to Caspia, a young woman whose story is confusing at first, yet beautiful all the same.
