I' m about to be controversial without meaning too. But I have words. This week there’s been chatter about a certain questionable “best-selling” writer who is thinking of writing a queer BDSM story because according to the author it, and I quote “would take away gender-based power imbalances.” (www.pinknews.co.uk) There are soooo many things I … Continue reading Right, here’s where it gets weird.
It’s not that I haven’t been reading and writing, it’s that I haven’t been doing it here.
I'm back! Did you miss me? Eight weeks of writing papers for a literary class gave me little extra time to do anything but write papers for a literary class. And read. My brain was so full of literary discourse and metaphors, that I had little extra time to read the back of a mac … Continue reading It’s not that I haven’t been reading and writing, it’s that I haven’t been doing it here.
Guilty Pleasures
Dear friends, I owe you an apology, I missed last week’s post. I could tell you how, as an adult, going back to school while working a full time job and being a single mom to a Senior in high school is sucking my time and half of my brain cells but you already know … Continue reading Guilty Pleasures
Who’s chopping onions while I’m trying to read?

You want me to review all these books I read and then you don’t even post them?) That might be … Continue reading Who’s chopping onions while I’m trying to read?

Chocolates and literary boyfriends
Ah Valentine’s Day. The holiday that is full of chocolate, cartoon hearts and chubby infants in diapers holding dangerous objects. Or in my case, a bag of miniature chocolate bars, a bottle of wine and watching Bridget Jones’ Diary on DVD. But the holiday always brings up the very important question: Who’s your literary boyfriend? … Continue reading Chocolates and literary boyfriends
It’s not you, it’s me.
This week you’ll be getting two posts, because... real life man. The first is an update with my book blind date. Since I mentioned it in my first post, it was suggested that I give everyone an update. Because everyone loves to hear conclusions of blind date stories. The book was called “The Towers of … Continue reading It’s not you, it’s me.
Introductions
Recently I've been stumbling upon a mess of good books. From Heather Petty's Lock and Mori trilogy to Theodora Goss' The Extraordinary Adventures of the Athena Club Series (of which there are only two so far but...oh my gosh they're so good! I got tired of screaming into the void that was the internet and … Continue reading Introductions
