Book Review: Twilight

I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m a Harry Potter fan. I love fantasy books as well as thrillers and mysteries. And I still hold a soft place in my heart for the young adult genre, which kept me company during those lonely nights as an awkward and socially inept teenager. So when Breaking Dawn, […]

Book Review: The Last Lecture

Despite the fact that I love to babble on and on in my writing, I’m a pretty reserved person in real life. I am hardly the one to wear my heart on a sleeve…heck even my voice is pretty monotone! But lately I’ve been a emotional wreck. Everything ticks me off. Sappy commercial? Eyes well up in […]

Book Review: Bonk

I’d written before that science and mathematics were never my forte in school. Which is unfortunate, because I love learning the facts and figures behind our amazing world.

Book Review: Love Story

When I first met R, I thought he was a typical womanizer and wouldn’t give him the time of day. He tried his best to win me over and when he finally succeeded in taking me out on a date, I gave him the third degree. One of the first questions I asked was, “What is your favorite book?” […]

Thursday Next

Can I just say how much I love the Thursday Next books? I think this may be about the tenth time I started the series again, yet I still find something new and amusing every time. An excerpt from Wikipedia: Thursday Next is the protagonist in the series of novels by Jasper Fforde. Thursday is an agent with […]
