Time: Saturday, 11:05 pm It was way past when we should have left, and yet... And yet. The mopping still wasn't done--though Dana was almost through with it--bits and pieces still needed to be picked up, and I swear the huge party we'd been working with all evening had only left something like seven minutes earlier. An … Continue reading Tales from the Café: Only in the Movies

I was provided a copy of the book by the author in exchange for my fair review. I have to admit, you can say a lot of things around these words, but when you tell me a book is "Tarantino-meets-Monty-Python," you're going to get my attention. I'm not a huge Tarantino fan, but his method … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: LET THERE BE LINDA by Rich Leder
I was going to have a title that was so much more boring than that one, but thank goodness I came up with a better idea. DAY SAVED. So! For my Stateside luminaries, happy Independence Day! (For the rest of the world, happy 4th of July anywho. Love you.) One of the favorite summer holidays, … Continue reading Fictional Celebrations
Yeah, I'm good with these titles today. So I only got one response to my blog last week, who said they were in favor of seeing Hunter's escapades as long as I wasn't entirely burning myself out. The trouble is, for a combination of reasons, I am kinda burning myself out. Real life stress, work … Continue reading Followup Friday
I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. I'll admit, there was a piece of me that was hesitant about this book. I'd read THE GIRL WHO STAYED relatively recently, and had been somewhat underwhelmed by the experience. Also, the story was apparently told a bit like the … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: ALL THE MISSING GIRLS by Megan Miranda
I wasn't going to write this right away, but I figure I may as well do it while some piece of it all is still timely and all. So you've all heard me say a thousand times that I think character development is important. On top of this, I think that having a balanced character … Continue reading Mighty and Powerful Gods
Hey guys! I know this isn't a Tales story, but that's actually why I wanted to talk to you all today. I've been writing the Tales stories for about four and a half months now (wow, didn't realize it was so long!) and I'd like to look back on it now. So, writing these silly … Continue reading Feedback Friday
I forced myself to wait a bit on this one. I mainlined THE FATE and THE REAPER in one day. If I wanted to make my enjoyment of the series last, I needed to not read EVERYTHING in all one fell weekend-swoop. So while on my long car trip recently, I allowed this to be … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: THE HUMAN by Stephanie Erickson
At the end of last month, I believe, the Goodreads group for Tuesday Talks asked us to make a video explaining to the non-readers of the world what we thought they were missing. I had some trouble trying to orient my thoughts into something that made sense in a video, and I figured I'd try … Continue reading Dear Non-Reader…
Time: Friday, 3:15 pm I may not have any of my own, but I know if you hang around kids long enough, you're going to hear some crazy stuff. The Internet has lists of creepy or clever things kids have said with absolutely no prompting. I'd put it out there that it's not just kids … Continue reading Tales From the Café: Out of the Mouths of…Customers?
