Childhood movie continues to captivate after sparking love of creepy, bizarre in youth

Sabrina Bush, Staff Writer January 19, 2024

We all have childhood movies that stick with us for years to come; comfort films that shape and define our earliest memories. Coraline was that movie for me. The more I’ve watched the movie over the...

Twists, turns, tantalizing topics: Literary mysteries leave audiences guessing

Lillian Smith April 21, 2022
Mystery books are one of the most gripping genres out there, whether it be the suspense when a detective faces off with a criminal or the adrenaline rush when a victim is put into a harrowing situation. These books bring life to crazy and interesting scenarios that are both fun to read and attempt to solve as readers follow along. 

Writer’s style shines bright spot on realistic fiction genre

Courtney Lamb March 21, 2022
First of all, I do not read contemporary/realistic fiction. At all. Abbie Emmons’ 100 Days of Sunlight screams contemporary realistic fiction just by looking at the cover. The fact that I was able to get through the entirety of this embarrassingly yellow book proved it was fairly good. 

Suspense thriller keeps audiences turning pages

Savannah Arenas December 4, 2018
The Woman in the Window by AJ. Finn is a riveting thriller that keeps readers on their toes. The 437 page novel basks in positive reviews and has accomplished the feat of becoming a number one New York Times bestseller. This internationally-loved book has been translated into 36 different languages for accessibility and has already landed a major film deal with Fox.

Book tackles difficult subject matter: Unexpected ending leaves readers in tears

Arissa Mejia November 2, 2018
Me Before You, an amazing book written by Jojo Moyes, makes readers feel a series of different emotions while reading. As a drama/romance with a page count of 480, it’s suitable for a more mature audience as a younger audience wouldn’t be able to comprehend what’s actually going on. There is a movie based on the book, which I have seen, but it pales in comparison by leaving out all the details that make the book so good.

Mariah Guerrero February 24, 2015
The year is 2044 and the world is an ugly place. The Great Recession has taken it’s toll on the world’s economy, resources are scarce, there’s an ongoing energy crisis, catastrophic climate changes, widespread famine, poverty, disease, and many wars. In 2012, an online simulation was released that changed the life of many across the world, as people of all ages and backgrounds spend every waking hour on it, the Ontologically Anthropocentric Sensory Immersive Simulation (OASIS).

Heroes of Olympus series dies out with last book

Mariah Guerrero November 4, 2014
Books: culturally defined as the object which civilizations have stored volumes of information, but that’s not all they’re used for. Some permeate your imagination and creativity, some provide knowledge and skill, and then some are John Green books (all John Green emotions put to side), but in contrast there are Rick Riordan books.
