Apparently, modern day witch hunts do exist. In case you haven’t heard the story of the West Memphis Three, now is your chance to read all about it before it is released as a movie later this year. [Read more...]

Book Review: Man Up! Tales of My Delusional Self Confidence by Ross Matthews
05/21/2013 by Leave a Comment
Ross Matthews is right about one thing – any self-confidence he feels about his writing skills is without a doubt delusional. He’d have to be out of his mind to think that readers will actually be entertained by the garbage he passes off as a book. [Read more...]
Book Review: The Invisible Bridge by Julie Orringer
05/20/2013 by Leave a Comment
Yes, this might possibly be (i.e., definitely is) yet another World War II book review that you by now have probably come to expect from me; but before you groan in utter dismay, tell me the last time you read about cougars (i.e., those “mature” woman that essentially rob the cradle in the name of love – or at least in the name of a one night stand), architecture, Paris nightlife, and WWI all in one book?! I’m betting never! [Read more...]
Book Review: Me Before You by Jojo Moyes

I am really struggling to come up with an introduction that does this book justice, because to me, Me Before You was perfection. [Read more...]

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll be thankful no one ever called you raghead because they think your ginger hair is reminiscent of a woman’s monthly visitor. [Read more...]

Comic Review: Fables (Issues 6-10)
05/01/2013 by Leave a Comment
Looks like I was right about Colin the pig playing a bigger part in this group of issues following his random appearances in #1-5 (review here), I just didn’t foresee the role he would play in these rumblings of civil war among the Fables characters. [Read more...]
Comic Review: Fables (Issues 1-5)
04/28/2013 by 1 Comment
I love these kind of stories: mythology, fairy tales, urban legends, and all that stuff, so it’s not an exaggeration to say that I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve thumbed through the pages of the trades. Heck someone even recommended it to me once during my longing stare at the shelves of comics and graphic novels back when Borders was still a thing. But I just couldn’t get past the paper.

Book Review: A Storm of Swords (A Song of Ice and Fire: Book 3) by George R. R. Martin
04/12/2013 by 1 Comment
During our last book club, Heather was not as impressed as I was with the sequel to what we both agreed to be a pretty great introduction to an expansive world. She’s even debating coming back for the third book in the series all together, which would be a shame, because it is easily the best entry yet. [Read more...]

Book Club In Session: A Clash Of Kings (A Song of Ice and Fire: Book 2) by George R. R. Martin
03/22/2013 by 2 Comments
Because we both ended up reading this book on our own, we decided to write A Clash of Kings up together as we do with our Book Club books. But don’t worry, we still plan to discuss Ender’s Game. [Read more...]
Book Review: Beyond Belief – My Secret Life Inside Scientology and My Harrowing Escape by Jenna Miscavige Hill
03/22/2013 by Leave a Comment
You likely have heard criticism of Scientology, but if you are like me, Jenna Miscavige Hill’s memoir will show you that you really knew very little about what truly happens behind Scientology’s closed doors. [Read more...]
Book Review: Where’d You Go Bernadette? by Maria Semple
03/22/2013 by Leave a Comment
A crazy woman, a trip to Antarctica, a mysterious disappearance, and boarding school drama? It sounds like the makings of an amazing, if slightly unusual read. Unfortunately, Where’d You Go Bernadette, by Maria Semple was far from either of those things in my opinion. [Read more...]
Book Review: Strategic Planning for Love & War by Jo Lena Johnson and Steven Charles Martin
02/25/2013 by Leave a Comment
Asking for relationship help is a tough thing to do to one’s pride. Going to a book for relationship help can be even worse. What works for one person might not work for you, or the advice you would receive isn’t even for your own personal situation. So safe to say, I was a bit reluctant to get into Strategic Planning for Love & War, as one would be. But after reading through the book, I can say that I’m a little bit more confident in both my present and future relationships. [Read more...]
