Time: Thursday, 3:49 pm "Yesterday was Meghan's last day," Autumn said, leaning back against the counters in front of our coffee pots. It's the height of the lull between lunch and dinner, and we're each waiting on something before we can move on to our next task. "Yeah, I know." I sighed. "And I guess … Continue reading Tales from the Café: High Turnover Rate

I've always been torn on how I should approach book reviews: whether to write the review immediately after reading the book, or waiting a bit and seeing how the book stays with me and then writing the review. Sometimes however, the decision is made for me just because of my schedule--and that's the case with … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THE BOOK OF LOST THINGS by John Connolly
I'm generally of the mind to take the phrase "write what you know" with a grain of salt. I'm a fantasy writer, even if the "fantasy" means the daydreams of a high school kid. But with several of my jobs, I've spent more than a few days saying "oh god, if I wrote a book … Continue reading They Say to Write What You Know
I can't recall exactly where I came across STARGIRL for the first time, though my guess would be I saw something about it on Goodreads. I'm not usually a reader of anything bordering on Middle Grade; it has a tendency to amplify everything I dislike about Young Adult. (This doesn't surprise me, of course. The … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: STARGIRL by Jerry Spinelli
Time: Tuesday, 6:46 pm It was a quiet night. Normally we would have seen our first rush by now, but the café is only about half full, leaving most of us servers wandering around aimlessly under the guise of doing something productive. (Sometimes we actually do productive things, since pissing off the managers is usually … Continue reading Tales From the Café: Contents Under Pressure
Look at this. LOOK AT THIS! What a cover, am I right?! I KNOW, RIGHT?! You've got it in one, Dean. As many of you know, I'm a huge fan of Deaf culture and ASL in general, so when I got a chance to touch base with Laura Brown about her writing, I was thrilled … Continue reading COVER REVEAL: SIGNS OF ATTRACTION by Laura Brown
So last week we looked at Ninja Brian, the YouTube comedy rock dude who has a PhD in theoretical physics and would rather play the piano along to dick jokes than teach. (Go Brian!) But I also promised that this week we'd look at Dan Avidan/Danny Sexbang, the other half of the band. Now, I … Continue reading Follow Your Dreams, pt. 2
It's no secret that I have an incredibly long TBR list. Thus, when I talk to my friends about books they enjoy, I have to take any time they say "oh gosh you HAVE you read this book/series/etc" very lightly. If I read every book that everyone told me I should, I would genuinely never … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: IN THE WOODS by Tana French
Time: Saturday, 12:49 pm On weekends, during the day, we do brunch. This throws people off sometimes, since we switch up the menu a good bit for those two mornings and not everything people expect to see is on there. So despite the fact that I don't work brunch all that often, I have seen … Continue reading Tales From the Café: Can’t Win ‘Em All
I received an ARC of this book free of charge through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. I don't know when I picked this up, but I've had a fascination for books and characters whose lives are falling apart around them. Vices? Bring them on. Addiction? Love it. Abuse? Sure. I truly enjoy watching … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: FINDING HOPE by Colleen Nelson
