“That’s when I decide that shoveling elephant shit would be better than this.”

February 1, 2014 by NTE Leave a Comment

So the key to good fiction is that it feels real, yes? That whatever you're reading - from some space alien wandering the galaxies afraid of the unending space, to a little boy with a purple crayon that can create his own moon if he chooses to - seems as real to as you are, sitting in your chair, or … [Read more]

Turnip Gets His Lady

February 1, 2014 by NTE Leave a Comment

Things I love in books (all books, but most especially romances): Continuing Sagas - Bring me back to revisit a couple whose journey to happily ever after I've already witnessed, or a family whose tree branches I have watched sprout up, and I'm yours.

Probably don’t get this book in place of a Valentine: This is not the kind of Heart Shaped Box your sweetie wants

February 1, 2014 by NTE 2 Comments

(Unless your sweetie is, like me, a fan of creepy books.  In that case, this might suit her/him better than the box of candy you had planned on.) Is it a sin to treat people as if they are disposable?  If you don't think so at the beginning of this creeper of a novel, I guarantee that you will … [Read more]

If You’re Between the Ages of 5 and 500 You Will Love Zita the Spacegirl

February 1, 2014 by Alexis Leave a Comment

Zita the Spacegirl and Legends of Zita may look like books for children and they are (my 4 and 7 year old adore them). But don't be fooled, they are great books for everybody. I was so excited when Legends of Zita showed up in the mail that I hid it from my kids so I could read it without waiting … [Read more]

Otherwise called: SeaWorld is an Evil Corporation

February 1, 2014 by bonnie Leave a Comment

I watched the documentary Blackfish on Netflix last month, and it blew my mind. I couldn’t believe the kinds of atrocities that happened to orcas in captivity. I remembered when Dawn Brancheau was killed by the whale Tilikum in February of 2010 and how horrifying it was. I also remembered when David … [Read more]
