My Body Is No Longer An Apology

The Body is Not An Apology: The Power of Radical Self-Love by Sonya Renee Taylor

by Leave a Comment

For the past few years, I’d been hearing about this book “The Body is Not An Apology”. When I read the synopsis (and, let’s be honest, saw the gorgeous cover of the author gloriously splayed atop larger-than-life flowers in her birthday suit, and decorated with strategically placed flowers, the whole thing arranged to look quite yoni-esque) I knew I wanted to read it. No, I had to read it. It promptly went on my wishlist and two holidays ago, I received it as a gift. […]

I really like The Irish Pub Cookbook because beyond its quality recipes it is a book you can read. Placed throughout are informational sections about a variety of pubs all over Ireland as well as the recipes. It’s a celebration of over 70 pub classics as well as […]

A Love Story Even a Non-Romance Person Can Fall For

Winter's Orbit by Everina Maxwell

by 1 Comment

Romance is really not my genre; for one thing I’m very much ace and spent most of my growing up time wondering what was wrong with all the story people who apparently have no self-control with the lust and related emotional stuff. However, sometimes, there comes along a romance that has enough other elements, like actually interesting characters, plot, and/or setting, that I can appreciate the whole thing, romance focus or not. Winter’s Orbit is one of these kinds of stories. In some ways this […]
