By Allison Schroeder Web Content Assistant Manager As Valentine’s Day approaches and the rise of #BookTok has created a newfound love for books amongst people, or maybe even rekindled that love, most might be looking for their next great read. Recently, I read Kerry Winfrey’s “Waiting for Tom Hanks.” Winfrey is a new author emerging with her first novel in 2015 called “Love and Other Alien Experiences.” “Waiting for Tom Hanks” is […]
By Lea Mercado Web Content Assistant Manager Have you ever been stuck in a cycle that feels like it’s going nowhere? No progress, temporary motivation, and disappointment. That is the cycle that James Clear aims to break in his best-selling guide, "Atomic Habits." Common problem/solution phases.

By Timia Cobb Web Content Contributor Jenny Han is a very talented author that has recently gotten a lot of attention due to her book “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before,” getting a movie adaptation on Netflix. Even though I love all of Han’s books, I have to say all the boys is far from my favorite and not even close to what I believe is her best work. […]
By Stacey RamirezWeb Content Contributor This book… LITERALLY CHANGED MY LIFE. Not like I’m ready to move to Hawaii changed, but it definitely showed me a new perspective about how I view life. The book explains how we have made up rules to think and live in a way that aligns with society. Without realizing it, everyone has dedicated their life and even raised their kids to follow. As a […]
By Ally Bolender Assistant Web Content Manager With nearly 100 novels, 200 short-stories and at-least 83 movies based on his work, Stephen King’s writing and story-telling is something of its own kind. Because of that and his constant need to pump out more work, I haven’t even come close to reading even the most influential ones yet. But, I have read upwards to thirty of his novels and short stories. […]
