This book is complete bullshit, and I’m going to spoil the shit out of it. You’ve been warned. Synopsis: Nora hasn’t seen Clare for ten years. Not since the day Nora walked out of her old life and never looked back. Until, out of the blue, an invitation to Clare’s hen party arrives. A weekend in…

Months ago I heard that my lady crush Evanna Lynch, i.e. Luna Lovegood, would be releasing her own vegan, cruelty-free beauty subscription box, and I was SO EXCITED that the minute it was available for pre-order I bought it without thinking twice. The first box arrived a week or so ago, and I thought I’d…
Damn, this book. Let me back up: Netflix recently released a show based on this book. I hadn’t heard anything about the show until my friend Becky told me about it. Her exact words were “Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Watch ASAP.” Since we have similar taste in tv and she’s not…
I know it’s kind of late for a ‘best of 2018’ post, but here it is anyway. It’s been cold and snowy in Albany for the last few days; what I think of as hibernation weather, and in my mind hibernating means books and tea. There’s nothing worse to me than being out of reading…
When I got my first FabFitFun box last year I was so excited I thought I might explode. It’s more expensive than any of the other subscriptions I had tried and I was concerned that it wouldn’t actually be worth the price. I’ve received four more boxes, and while I’ve been happier with some boxes…
I think by now you’ve picked up on the fact that I like fantasy novels. Also history, and sometimes legends. So it’s no surprise that when I walked by this book at my local library I was immediately intrigued. The Arthurian legends have fascinated me since I was a kid, and the more I learn…
We’re one day from Halloween, my most favorite holiday of the entire year! I also like Christmas, but for completely different reasons. Have you ever noticed that gross things come out at Halloween? We decorate with bugs, bats, and brains, among lots of other weird, gross things. I can’t even tell you how many Halloween…
If you weren’t alive in the 90s or were too young to stay up to watch Friends you won’t get this reference. The rest of you can skip this next paragraph. Friends was an NBC show that aired on Thursday nights from the mid-90s to the early 00s. It’s a situational comedy about six young adults living in…
I love podcasts. I’m now subscribed to more than 60 of them, and I listen basically all day, every day. While I’m working, while I’m driving, sometimes even when I’m in the shower. I know this is when normal people listen to music, but music doesn’t keep my brain engaged. I zone out, and I…
Man, I love talking/writing about books. This was a particularly interesting read and I’m excited to tell you about it. I wandered by it on the New Releases shelf the last time I was at the library (because yes, I go to the library) and was immediately intrigued. Unlike my classmates, I enjoyed reading Beowulf…
