I am long past the days of school dances and lunch table politics. Or so I thought. This year, for the first time, I will have a high schooler. How the actual hell did that happen? Without warning, she reminded me that she needed me to pick up my sister’s old homecoming dresses so she […]

I’m a sucker for pretty books. When my favorite local bookstore (shout out Little Green Bookstore!) got an ARC of Repeat After Me and asked if I’d be interested, I jumped sight unseen into the tepid, drug filled waters of Jessica Warman‘s chaotic island world.

We’ve had a cold going around the family. Nothing particularly serious, but after my middle child R couldn’t get rid of the cough, I took him in to the doctor. Pneumonia. Freaking Pneumonia. He didn’t even seem particularly ill. I had him stay home from school the next day and he spent the afternoon acting

(Technically, I’m giving this a 4.5. This widget does not understand that I need more options.) The Unmothers has been described as Midsommar meets the Handmaid’s Tale. The creepy small town vibes are 100% on point. My own smallish town is looking more suspicious by the minute. I have been a little concerned about what

This past weekend, Kevin and I went to the hospital for a visit. This is, generally speaking, never a super fun endeavor, but thankfully, everyone was recovering well, so it was just to say hello. Never one to miss an opportunity to make myself seem insane, I start off visits by telling everyone about the

By Any Other Name is the newest offering from literary powerhouse Jodi Picoult. This book follows the dueling perspectives of Emilia in 1500s England and her descendant Melina in modern day New York.

I recently bought and read a book just because the concept reminded me of my favorite childhood books, Goosebumps. There has to be some kind of Goosebumps to Stephen King reading, Halloween obsessed, horror movie afficionado pipeline. We were the weirdos reading about demon worms by moonlight, and now that we have adult money, sometimes,
