We Are The Ants by Shaun David Hutchinson

We Are The Ants  Click Here For Book Synopsis This book....what can I say?  This is a story of grief and love and family and friendship....it's about really understanding our place in the universe and how insignificant we can feel at times.  We follow Henry Denton as the Main Character. He is dealing with the suicide of his boyfriend, his first real love and a whole lot of family problems as well. Henry blames himself for Jesse's suicide and is trying to cope with that. On top of everything else, Henry is abducted by aliens every so often and he is deemed "Space Boy" by the school bully, who, by the Way, Henry is having a fling with.  There are a lot of tough topics in this book. Suicide, mental illness, rape, bullying... Just to name a few. But there is an underlying hope throughout this story that shines through. I really loved this book and the stories that were told throughout. This is my first time reading a book by Shaun David Hutchinson and I will

Updates, November reading, and End of Year reading plans

Image
Its been a hot minute since I've posted here. A lot has happened in my personal life, but we aren't here for that. Let's get to my December TBR, shall we? Winter time usually means Historical Fiction, and Fantasy books for me. November was all over the place and I have been in a slight reading slump. I can't seem to get invested in the books I pick up recently. I participated in 'Non-Fiction November', and started the month off strong, but dwindled as the month progressed. I am currently reading a poetry collection by Lawrence Ferlinghetti called A Coney Island Of The Mind.  and I am going to attempt to begin The Book Thief  by Markus Zuzak as well as Everything I Never Told You  by Celeste Ng. I managed to read 8 things in the month of November. A Children's book- The Wonky Donkey  by Craig Smith, Illustrated by Katz Cowley If I Should Die Before I Wake  by Nolan Han Matchless  by Gregory Maguire Girl, Interrupted  by Susanna Kaysen
