As those of you who know me on Facebook (or even in real life) are aware, 2 1/2 years ago I adopted a 9 year old dog named Spike. Spike is a red Australian Cattle Dog and most definitely the boss of me. He disapproves of most things that I do, but loves me anyway. As I read Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur: BFF, I felt very strongly that I was reading Spike’s relationship goals for us. He would really like to be able to […]
The Non-Romance of Male Tears
I started this year with a plan to review every book I read, but that fell by the wayside pretty quickly, because there are just some books about which I have nothing to say. It may be that they are neither good, nor bad, or they are fine, but not interesting, or they are bad, but not offensive. I recently read two installments in Sarina Bowen’s True North series, and initially thought they would remain among the unreviewed. Alwaysanswerb’s review of The Chocolate Rose made […]
I’m Gonna Need Some New People to Invite to Dinner.
I have a new found love of comic books, and I have loved cooking and eating for a long time.

I have been looking at several Korean cookbooks for a long time, so it seemed like good timing and I bought it. Since arriving, it hasn’t been far from my side. I’ve lovingly stroked it’s pages and imagined a bunch of dinner parties. […]
Squirrel Agility Ability

She’s jaunty, clever, irreverent and some one is breaking the 4th wall, though it’s more the author than Squirrel Girl. Squirrel Girl super heroes in her own unique way. She takes down the baddest of the bad and makes friends along the way. Doreen Green is totally just your average, normal girl on her way to start college. She […]

Stories Helped Make Me Who I Am
3.5 stars, rounded up to 4 I love Faith. LOOK AT HER!!!!! She is a legitimately fat woman. She looks like a real fat woman and not just an extra curvy woman. She flies and fights crime. As a fat woman myself, I love this. I know a lot of fat women who have the athleticism and grace to fly, if only gravity would let them. And do you know how often her weight is alluded to? Never. No one tells her she can’t superhero […]
