Happy Friday, guys! It’s a beautiful Friday here in the Boston area, and I’m looking forward to a weekend of seeing friends, playing games, and walks with Bodo the dog. Let’s start the weekend off with a few micro-book reviews.

Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys
Sepetys knows how to craft a stunning gut-punch of a historical novel. Just my type!

A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin
I feel like a bad fantasy fan but…it was fine? The story/characters felt ‘meh.’

All American Boys by Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely
Thoughtful look at police brutality. Loved Rashad, but wanted more from Quinn’s part.
