heartburn

January 9, 2014 by Caitlin_D Leave a Comment

  Last year I read two of Nora Ephron's memoirs (I Feel Bad About My Neck and I Remember Nothing) and as a huge fan of Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail I decided to start the year off with her first novel Heartburn. Reading this so closely after her memoirs and knowing the … [Read more]

Fairy Tales for Angry Little Girls

January 9, 2014 by Vylotte Leave a Comment

I picked this up on a whim at the library, I'm always looking for things I can read with my kids. (That's my excuse for reading a lot of YA dystopias, though we all know I read them anyway!)

The Goldfinch tells the story of precocious 13-year-old Theo Decker, who lives alone with his mother in New York City until their unplanned visit to … [Read more]

Read ALL THE PAGES!

January 9, 2014 by alwaysanswerb Leave a Comment

FROM THE AUTHOR: This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative - like maybe someone who isn't me wrote it - … [Read more]
