I Caved

November 7, 2009

Currently reading…. Full review to come upon completion. [Author's note: depsite my previous...anti-Twilight tendencies, curiousity got the best of me. And with all the press for New Moon in the tabs recently (and all my trips to Target that have allowed me to read said tabs) curiousity got the best of me, and my subconscious [...]

Call for Bookworms

August 31, 2009

I’m about 22 books away from making my goal for reading 52 books this year. I read 48 last year, so I don’t think it should be too hard this year – I’m on 29. However, despite my overwhelming pile of “To-Read” books next to my bed, and all the books on my slightly-but-not-entirely-out-dated amazon [...]

Matrimony – a giveaway

April 28, 2009

She’d never really given marriage much thought, and the more time passed the less seriously she took it, as if the fact that she was getting older, closer presumably, to actually getting married, no longer accommodated the fantasy. She’d read that most college students met their spouses in college, but “college students” included junior college [...]

April 4, 2009

Tonight while I was checking my email I happened to notice one of the google ads on my legallyheidi email account (which is a google app account) and I couldn’t help but think…what the eff google?! It was probably the fact that I emailed my book club gals asking about the April book, during which [...]

Spring Reading Thing is Back Again

March 26, 2009

One of the greatest things about blogging, regardless whether you’re a personal blogger or otherwise, is the community. The networking. I love all the great ideas that I’m constantly exposed to. Finding new books to read, a new pair of shoes that I adore after seeing them posted on someone elses’s blog. Little things like [...]

Memoirs R Us?

March 10, 2009

I don’t get it. I don’t understand how a fifteen year old can write a memoir. I mean, by 15 I had kissed two boys, been to three different high schools, and lived through my parent’s divorce but I don’t deem those as worthy memoir material. Granted she’s some sort of teen idol and has [...]

Book Review: “The Man of My Dreams” by Curtis Sittenfeld

February 6, 2009

“Being raised in an unstable household makes you understand that the world doesn’t exist to accommodate you, which, in Hannah’s observation, is something a lot of people struggle to understand well into adulthood. It makes you realize how quickly a situation can shift, how danger really is everywhere. But crises, when they occur, do not [...]
