It's My Genre, Baby.

Much like romance the daytime drama (soap) genre frustrates the hell out of me. I'm an ABC girl, so my shows of choice have always been...

Reviewing  Heart Murmurs   is straight up nepotism. I was following two of Snyder's twitter names before I knew she was an author. S...

Some books permanently change the reader / author relationship. Having loved Mary Balogh since her earliest days I half-heartedly defended...

It Happened One Midnight would be far more enjoyable as a single title than as an entry in the Pennyroyal Green series. Eight books in I d...

My abiding love for  Courtney Milan  books is well documented. You should know that I have neither objectivity nor credibility on this s...

There are plenty of cat lovers in my life. I am not one of them. (Some of my friends have to be avoided during sweater season.)  Cat Vs Hu...

If you have a kid you've probably already seen this but I want to talk about it anyway. I find the American relationship with children...

I can't explain this cover. It's wrong for the era and vaguely disturbing. She looks like a vacant doll. Of course, Nora kind of i...

This was going to be the book where Heath and I break up, but she surprised me. Which is not to say I recommend the title. Heath is work...

I want you to read this book. It's going to win a basket of awards. It's the memoir of the year, for certain. I don't care who...

*Having recently taken a number of transatlantic flights, I'm pretty caught up on the selection of B tier movies that are offered to i...

Memorial Day Memories , a photo by meoskop on Flickr. I'm a few weeks behind on reviews for reasons pictured. (No, that's not my ca...
