There are many common themes that can be presented throughout Kisses From Katie by Katie Davis. One theme that I felt was represently well throughout was the book is that many sacrifices and adaptations may need to be made in life for good reasons even if you are not sure at first.

Tomson Highway’s "Kiss of the Fur Queen" is my favorite of what we have read so far. Vulgarity‚ creativity and abstract language are some of my favorite characteristics in writing.
