Brave–Rose McGowan

This is one of those books that I shove at everyone I meet telling them they need to read it.  Rose spoke with so much love and honesty, and I love how she peeled back the face of Hollywood and ripped into people that deserved it and told her own story without embellishment. There wasContinue reading “Brave–Rose McGowan”

Let’s Pretend This Never Happened–Jenny Lawson

My friend who normally suggests incredibly upsetting (cough cough World War 2) books to me suggested this.  Now, this has taxidermy on the front so you can imagine my dismay and skepticism at what I was about to walk into.  But blindly walk into it I did and I was surprised as fuck and happilyContinue reading “Let’s Pretend This Never Happened–Jenny Lawson”

The Sandcastle Empire–Kayla Olsen

I needed some young adult in my life after reading Lolita.  WHOOOOOAAAA what a horrible way to phrase that. And yet I left it so you could read it and be mortified with me and for me.  You’re welcome. Anyway: I love YA novels that have heart. And murder. Lots and lots of murder. AndContinue reading “The Sandcastle Empire–Kayla Olsen”

That’s all I’ve really got.  Yet here I am reading a well known authors book about postal workers.  And liking it.  It doesn’t matter that I totally thought this guy wrote “Fight Club” (heContinue reading “Post Office–Charles Bukowski”

I just got a notification from WordPress congratulating me on 8 years of writing on this blog. 8 years I’ve spent writing about books I’ve loved or hated, personal stories of triumph or failure, love and loss, book hunting, Keep Moving Forwards, True Story Tuesdays, or To Say a Little Words. 8 yearsContinue reading “Happy 8 Year Anniversary!”

Summers Read Part 2

I’m backed up. Not…not in the bowel department. I don’t know why I feel like I needed to clarify that when you’ll see in a minute that I mean book reviews. Either way. Here we are. In The Woods–Tana French This book was total trickery.  In that I didn’t realize it was a series. IContinue reading “Summers Read Part 2”
