Stepford Town, but not as clever.

June 24, 2017 by Mim Leave a Comment

I recently got off work a bit early (one of the many down sides of being a Fry Minion, you get sent home because of “labor costs.”) and having nothing to do but surf my phone, downloaded a reader (how did I live without one?) and started perusing my to-be-read pile, which is quite large.  Wayward was one of the first books in the stack, (it was ahead of its prequel, even, which I have not read.)  I’m used to starting series in the middle […]

Not-so Perfectly Matched

April 25, 2017 by Mim Leave a Comment

Let’s just start off by saying that Jodi Picoult isn’t my favorite author, but sometimes she makes you think, and sometimes, she can put both sides of an argument on the table in a narrative form that can be somewhat entertaining.   Picoult is sort of a guilty pleasure for me, except I rarely enjoy it, and Perfect Match was no exception.  While it is meant to be a gripping and tense narrative about the explosion of lives after the molestation of a small boy […]
