About six months ago, Mr. Scoots and I were looking for a new show to binge on Netflix. We tried Daredevil (we really wanted to like it, but just didn’t), we tried Bloodline (I’m sure it gets good, but we were just way too bored), and then we tried Longmire. And Longmire’s the one we stuck with. No, we aren’t exactly the Longmire demographic. I’d like to think we are still a bit younger than most of the audience. But still. There was just something […]

The other day, while finishing a book on Kindle, and wondering what I was going to read next, I read a review from Ellepkay about a book I hadn’t heard of, but seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. Thanks, Ellepkay. I really enjoyed this one. Richard Troy is the greatest stage actor of his generation, hailed as the second coming of Olivier.

Sarah Dessen, Jr.

January 4, 2016 by scootsa1000 3 Comments

A few weeks ago, I got my BookBub email of the day, which included this book. The description said, “for fans of Sarah Dessen,” and I said, “hey, I’m a fan of Sarah Dessen. This must be for me.” And I downloaded it. Yesterday I read it in pretty much one sitting during all of the football games that were on in my house. And yes, it had Sarah Dessen-like qualities. But Sarah Dessen is the master, and Robin Benway is just her student. Still […]

A delightful present under the tree, just for me

Just look at what I got in the mail from the lovely faintingviolet! Bunnybean and Joemyjoe forbid me to open this until Christmas Eve, but I think I’ll sneak a chocolate before then. Thank you, and happy holidays!!
