More Happy Than Not by Adam Silvera – Review

More Happy Than Not was such an incredible surprise to me.

The Six by Mark Alpert – Review

The book takes a look at real life artificial intelligence and where it could lead. What would happen if an AI decided to destroy us? What would we need to do to fight back? In this book, Adam and five other terminally ill teenagers agree to give […]
