These are the avid ramblings of an obsessive reader, ambitious writer, and musical stalker.
I need to be completely and totally honest with you all about this memoir. I have read many memoirs, from celebrities about political figures, even the complex relationships and events surrounding the presidential election in the 1800s. This memoir here, however, is one of the most artful compositions I have read. I know a lot […]
MoreThis book took me way too long to get through. A symptom of a busy schedule, but also a symptom of Jonathan Franzen’s writing style. Jonathan Franzen is not an author that focuses on the storyline or the plot, but on the characters. Everything he knows about the characters, he lets you in on. Sharing their […]
MoreThis review is going to begin with a brief history lesson. 14,000 years ago, some of our furthest ancestors crossed the Bering Strait into what would become the Eastern Hemisphere. Of those people, there are nomads that would settle throughout the land. From present-day Mexico to present-day Canada, communities bubbled in their chosen hubs. Traits and […]
MoreWhat can I say about Kathy Griffin that has not already been said, mostly by herself? She has created a career out of self-humiliation, and amen to that, must be difficult to be the butt of your own jokes and the foundation for your career. I’m pretty sure I could never do that, it’s take […]
MoreThe news is out, I wrote a book! It is now being sold on Amazon.com and in the Kindle store for $5.00. A short 29 pages of action and adventure following the jests of Joan Rock Harvey in Los Angeles. Jokes and sarcasm fill the pages as Joan pranks the patience out of her High […]
MoreThis could be my late night self talking or my awake self talking, but Yes Please! by Amy Poehler is hysterical and an entertaining read. I do not know how many of you out there are Audible fans, or even know what Audible is, but I easily recommend it. Audible is an online source for […]
MoreSo, I’m not sure how many of you out there know, but in the past I’ve done literary missions. A prior one you can look up on my site is the Evancovich mission, the attempt to read through the entire Stephanie Plum series in three to four months before the next one in the series […]
MoreThe long awaited update on my mission to finish before the next book comes out. Please hold the applause for after the post, thank you and enjoy your night. Before I get to anything, here’s the big kicker. My due date is now July, the twenty first book in the series releases. You can already […]
MoreI want to take a moment to discuss an author, who I find to be wildly under-appreciated: Jennifer Donnelly. I know I can’t possibly be the only aficionado of historical fiction, I love historical fiction, most of my personal library is made up of historical fiction novels. Which is why, I am always shocked when […]
MoreBefore I share my thoughts on this author and their great series–I think I just gave you my thoughts–you need to know that I did this an odd way. Janet Evancovich writes the Stephanie Plum series, a former lingerie store manager at Macy’s turned Bounty Hunter. This is a very long series, and I must […]
