The Body Book by Cameron Diaz was the latest selection from my book club; so recent in fact, we haven’t even met yet to discuss it. This book had been on my list of books to read (love you Amazon wish list) and was glad to have the opportunity to pick the book up. Even have an out if I ended up not liking the book and wanted to dissociate from my selection…” Oh, that, I’m reading it for book club.” I was pretty sure […]
“Money Doesn’t Give You Class, It Just Gives You Money”
Confession time, I love the Real Housewives franchise. It is a phenomenal machine of hair and fake lashes and egos. It’s all the glory of gossip with none of the pain of hurting someone you know and care about. This is not a secret shame for me; anyone who knows me in real life likely knows my proclivities for terrible but well produced reality television, particularly of the Bravo variety. Andy Cohen, you own me. Given this love for all things Real (it’s not) and […]
Horns and Snakes, Somewhere in there is a Sir Mix-a-Lot Joke
Joe Hill’s Horns begins the morning Ig wakes up hung over and with horns growing out of his forehead. It’s about a year after his girlfriend was gruesomely killed in a “sex murder” and the whole community believes it was Ig who did it to her.

Intrigued? To […]
Ray, If Someone Asks Are You a God, Say “YES!”
With trade news regarding a TV series (or miniseries or whatever it’s been decided to be) of American Gods popping up, I decided it was time for me to reread Neil Gaiman’s book. Mostly because none of the discussed character names really rang any bells and if pressed, I couldn’t have really summed up the plot other than anthropomorphic gods trying to get by in America, a godless land. Eh, kind of close? My pea brain’s inability to hold onto plot details for more than […]
Where’s a Banana Stand When You Need One?
I am falling hard for author Jess Walter. Last year I read Beautiful Ruins (on recommendation from a Cannonballer!) and loved it. I’ve recommended it to others and they’ve reported love back too. In my head though, Jess Walter looks like Lucille Bluth. He might not think that’s a good thing; I’m sure Jess Walter is a lovely person and Jessica Walter is gorgeous, but Lucille Bluth is an ugly human being. Yet in my head, it’s Lucille 1 typing away, smirking every time some […]
Ruby Ruby Do You Know What You’re Doing To Me
An amazon freebie you say? Don’t mind if I do…That was the only motivation I had in reading Killing Ruby Rose by Jessie Humphries. As a Prime member, it was available for free download, the cover was attention grabbing and the description seemed interesting. Nuf said? To finish reading my review, head over to my blog!
