This Week at TLT

We hosted Victoria Schwab on her blog tour for her latest novel The Unbound. Read our review and her answers to our not at all stalkerish questions.

In our Sunday Reflection, Karen talks about the 5 episode season of Torchwood, Children of Earth, and it’s uncanny look at how we really feel about the disadvantaged members of our society. 

We combine Divergent enthusiasm with Rainbow Loom fever for this week’s Teen Program in a Box.
