Volume 4 of this incredible series keeps its foot on the gas. Marco and Alana seem to be hitting some problems in their relationship. Okay, yeah, so the entire story hinges on them having to run from multiple groups of people trying to kill them, so it hasn’t really been a cake walk persay, but as a couple, they have been a passionate sexy love bomb for quite awhile. They are starting to fray on the edges, and more tumult is forecast for the couple. […]
Love. A Scarf. New York, 9/11 and 1911. The biggest surprise? I loved it!
When I picked up this book as the latest read for my local book club, I was immediately filled with a sense of dread. Called “A Fall of Marigolds.” Pretty flowers on the cover. About a scarf? Oof. This did not sound like I was the target audience, and I steeled myself for yet another book club meeting where I would give a low rating and sound like a cranky cynic. I don’t know if it is because I went in with low expectations, but […]
Thoughtful content, less thoughtful structure
I’m a recent new listener to a variety of podcasts, as I now find myself with a long commute, and Freakonomics is now in my standard rotation. As such, my partner suggested I check out the book, so I dropped it into my audiobook queue (see previous: long commute) and I knocked it out fairly quickly, as it is a short listen clocking in at just under seven hours. If you are unfamiliar, here is the description of the podcast, from their website: ” Host Stephen J. […]
Judy – love ya. Love this one? Not so much.
As a woman in my 30s, I am definitely aware of the presence and significance of Judy Blume. And the fact that she recently celebrate her 80th birthday! (You hang in there, Judy). I read all the classics in my youth and read Summer Sisters a few years ago. I remember the former being formative and the latter not really at all, and that should have been an indicator of how I would feel about this book: a resounding shoulder shrug. I would say I […]
Harry Potter and the Mostly Good Story About His Kid
Confession: I have owned my very own copy of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child for about 2 years, ever since I bought it at the super cool Shakespeare and Company bookstore in Paris (if you EVER have the chance to go to Paris, it’s a must visit. Try not to live there. Though, they don’t really frown upon people living there. But I digress). It has set, unread, in that time. I’m a pretty significant Potter fan, but I had heard of it being […]
If you aren’t frustrated with the concept of nutrition in America, you aren’t paying attention.
You ever have a moment when you realize that you have educated yourself on a topic, and you are excited to be armed with knowledge, but also frustrated about the reality of the world around you, and also a little sad about no longer having the sweet sweet shroud of ignorance to protect you? Read this book with caution, my friend. Because you will never look at food, your food choices, and the concept of “healthy” eating the same way again. I will caveat to […]
