Review: The Princess Diarist
May 2017 was a very Star Wars month for me. Not only was it May the 4th, but also the 40th anniversary of the franchise. I guess I picked the perfect month to read The Princess Diarist by Carrie Fisher. Carrie Fisher has recently become someone I look up to, and I really wanted to…

Two Mini Reviews
I recently finished reading The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, and Raise High the Roofbeam Carpenters, and Seymour: An Introduction by J. D. Salinger.
