Childhood’s End Review
This book had me looking at my dog like he might start floating any minute. Clarke mixes awe with a bit of dread, and I couldn't stop turning the pages. Not your average alien invasion, that's for sure!

The Time Traveler’s Wife Review
Clare loves a man who sometimes vanishes mid-dinner. The Time Traveler’s Wife made me laugh, cry, and check my own socks for time machine buttons. It’s messy, sweet, and sometimes confusing, just like real love.
