I've been a little disappointed in the last couple of books I've read by Julie Garwood, but she's still one of my go-to authors. I just can't give her up quite yet, so I picked up her latest book, Hotshot (2013) as soon as I was able to get my hands on it. I'm such a sucker for the strong, … [Read more]
David, the cheater, and Goliath, the large, disabled man
At this point, I've read most of Malcolm Gladwell's books, and I've always enjoyed reading them.

This book kept me up until almost 1AM last night reading it, and even later tossing it around in my thoughts. This book invaded my dreams and was the first thing … [Read more]
