I haven’t published as much as I would have liked to in the last few months but I’m still plugging away at it. I have a few articles for Book Riot in draft form right now and hope to get them out by the end of the month. But until then, here’s what I’ve been […]

As promised in my review of Book Riot’s April Book Mail Box, I’m here to review the books I received in that box. We’ll start with American Housewife by Helen Ellis, which happened to be the book I read first and the one I enjoyed the least. That’s not to say that I didn’t enjoy it, […]
UPDATE: The books discussed below have now been reviewed in another post. Book Riot’s Book Mail costs $60, comes every three months or so, and includes both books and bookish goodies. I should state here that I am a Book Riot contributor. That said, they are not my employer and the fact that I write some […]
As you may and/or may not have noticed, I went away for about six months there. I was busy over at Book Riot though, so I thought I’d catch y’all up. I wrote a piece about moving into a cabin in the middle of the woods with 2,500 books and no bathroom. I was overjoyed […]
Before we get to my review Queen Robinson’s Lila, I have some other business to attend to. I wrote numerous more things for Book Riot that I forgot to tell you jokers about! A piece about moving in with my partner and the complications of blending our bookshelves. Blending Bookshelves: My Quest to Embrace Chaos Going on […]
I wrote another post on Book Riot, this one is about the year I spent reading “local” authors, though, as you’ll learn if you read the piece, the term “local” is a bit of a misnomer here in Iowa City on account of all the brilliant authors who come through but don’t stick around. My […]
I have very limited experience with graphic novels. The Barefoot Gen series should be required reading, and I loved one of and hated one of Alison Bechdel’s graphic novels. I think I read Maus once upon a time but I couldn’t tell you much about it. And that’s pretty much it! I tell you this because my […]
Y’all wanna hear something totally nuts? I wrote a thing for Book Riot and then they put it on the internet! I’m famous! Not really! But it is probably the most exciting thing that’s ever happened to me. When they sent out a call for contributors, I wrote a few things and sent them to […]
I get a bad rap as an anti-pun gal but that’s not entirely accurate. I like words, I make my living manipulating them after all, and I like clever use of words. What I don’t like are puns for the sake of puns. Like, if the entire joke of a pun is that it’s a […]
Damn was I relieved to read the Goodreads reviews of Welcome to Braggsville and discover that reasonably intelligent people found this as hard to read as I did. I received this book in the Book Riot Best of 2015 Box but it was already on my to-read list so I can’t even blame Book Riot for […]
