So, here I listed books I’d like to have read this summer. As school starts next week (GASP!), I thought I’d show what I actually accomplished. It’s not nearly as impressive. 1. The Road by Cormac McCarthy (Finished 8/5/15 – will review eventually) 2. How To Read Literature like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster … Continue reading

I mean, that’s the reason I’m basically MIA. Sorry about that. It’s FRIDAY!! Can you believe it? I know it was a short week, but I’m so grateful it’s over. It just seemed long. No offense to the students or my colleagues. I just need a break. Last night I got really mature and bought … Continue reading
Look at this! An actual written post, a written book review. Calm down, I know, I’m in shock as well. 🙂 I should be doing a million other things right now, but I’m on the internets looking at all the cool Comic Con stuff (um, Loki, anyone? Holy cow) and decided that I really need … Continue reading

Because even though it is Saturday, usually a day off, I have to get ready for a long day of rehearsal and opening night performance as Evita’s stage manager. But I wanted to post something because I miss blogging. 😦 (and the heading picture is of my dog, Margie, who is at the moment with … Continue reading

The Waiting Booth by Brinda Berry (my chat with her a few months ago) A missing boy, government agents, an interdimensional portal… Mia has one goal for her senior year at Whispering Woods High–find her missing older brother. But when her science project reveals a portal into another dimension, she learns that travelers are moving … Continue reading
I so obviously don’t know French. Anyway, would you believe it? I read another book? Why yes I did. Truthfully, it’s a very short book, under 100 pages, so I don’t know if that’s as impressive, but whatever. Stories can be all types of lengths. Let’s get to the review, yes? Blurb taken from Goodreads. … Continue reading
