Manny Torres liked Paige Johnson's status update Paige Johnson is 34% done with Streets of Your Town: I salivate. Drip tickling my uvula. Knew the universe led me here. Like a horse to carrots. Ketamine, my favorite open-eye dream. “So…maybe you want to finish our reading? Line for a line?”

Manny Torres and 38 other people liked Mariola Novakovic's review of Under the Rockets' Glow: Shira's Journey to Courage: "If only zero stars were available... Who writes a book for kids glorifying white supremacy, settler colonialism and apartheid? Terrorists, that's who. Genocidal terrorists."
