That store is long gone, but a new similar concept store has taken over my life. Anytime I’m looking for a particular book, 2nd & Charles is my first stop. A particular book I’ve been looking for is The Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes and after months of searching I finally found the book. I was not disappointed, by this captivating book. If anything, I was…

Row after row of beautifully lined up books, all in perfect order. The air hung with mugginess as no one knows when the last time the windows were opened. With every step the floor screeched in protest and erupted with dust. Cobwebs hung like great sheets of hair from an ancient hag, white, dirty and tangled from the high windows and roof. Aria Hale pushed up her thick glasses, magnifying her emerald green eyes. She tightened her short, chocolate coloured ponytail, getting ready for the hunt.…

never crazy about books, and surely never wanted to read one. I eventually gave into reading and found that I loved it. My favorite book series’ to read as a kid were Captain Underpants, Goosebumps, and Shadow Children. Each book series brought out a different part of me, and introduced me to new ways of life. They sort of molded me, but I stopped reading books after the fourth grade; I just couldn’t find anything interesting. Although, I didn’t really look to read anyway, books and I just kind…

They loved the urban life. They felt as if the deaf community was…
