That’s why, when Jesse Black entered into her life with an open expression of his affection towards … Continue reading The Annealing of Aliza Bennett by Emma Hartley #BookReview

Overland: 16 Total Strangers Traveling through 8 Countries in 1 Broken Down Truck – Welcome to Africa by Pete Mandra #BookReview

Mojito With a Twist

Although a cynic would doubt that a book, whose plot is based entirely upon traveling across Africa for six weeks in a truck filled with strangers, would be entertaining enough to actually allow them to immerse in it, the author’s humorous and sarcasm-filled writing with just enough details about the journey would definitely prove to be the most delightful read ever.

As Paul and Megan decide to fulfill their desire to travel the world, the exotic and wild charm of Africa … Continue reading Overland: 16 Total Strangers Traveling through 8 Countries in 1 Broken Down Truck – Welcome to Africa by Pete Mandra #BookReview
