Get off your iPhone and read a book.
I’m kind of sad that my “Mindy & Me” series is almost over! Really, the entire point of this was to share how great her book is to women similar to me and Mindy. So, if you haven’t read it… go read it! It’s a great little refreshing distraction. Today, Mindy and I cover “hooking […]
MoreI’m totally sucking at uploading these during peak social media time (for views and engagement, duh) but I keep forgetting the book at home to reference for the post! Putting it in my bag as soon as I finish this so I can upload Day 3 tomorrow around noon! Did you read Day 1? All […]
MoreAs promised, today kicks off my week of “Mindy & Me”, a collection of concerns/happenings that Mindy Kaling and I have in common based on her book, “Is Everyone Handing Out Without Me (and other concerns)“. (I secretly hope she reads one of these, and/or any other posts on my blog, so she can see how […]

Whether you read the trilogy, tweeted curiously with one of the hashtags, saw someone reading it in the subway, on the news, drooled over the hot breakout lead Jennifer Lawrence, aka Katniss Evergreen… you somehow […]
More“With sardonic wit and incisive social critiques, David Sedaris has become one of America’s pre-eminent humor writers. The great skill with which he slices through cultural euphemisms and political correctness proves that Sedaris is a master of satire and one of the most observant writers addressing the human condition today.” I couldn’t agree more. I […]
MoreJuly 16th I decided to take the dive… the dive into the world-phenomenon that is Harry Potter. I took out the first book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and vlogged from within the tranquil walls of my public library as I prepared to start reading. In 35 days I read not only the 1st, […]
MoreWao or Wow. Hard to decipher in this case. What a character, what a story about everything but the character. Far from what you’d expect from a title like, “The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.” I thought it’d be all about Oscar Wao. Surprise, surprise. I got a bit of insight half way through from a Q&A […]
