• My Reading Journey: Wes’s Reading Then & Now

    Then: One of my first recollections of reading as a kid was in 2nd grade when I discovered The Bailey School Kids, Goosebumps, and the Chip Hilton sports series. I enjoyed all of these books so much that I won an AR reading contest at my elementary school and was…

  • A Knife Between Chapters: Brings You 25 of 2025

    A Knife Between Chapters is one of our staff readers, moving quietly through pages where motives matter, alibis unravel, and someone almost always ends up dead. Her reading life leans delightfully murdery, with psychological thrillers, mysteries, and crime at the core, softened now and then by a literary turn of…

  • Reading Journey: Then & Now – Sarah M.

    I remember the first book I ever read. It was called Spooky Sounds by Noodles. The moment that the words began to take form, and I could read them, it was off to the races! I always loved reading. I was that kid that relished silent reading time in class,…
