It’s been a very relaxing weekend around here. With no set plans other than watching the Open Championship (my heart broke for Adam Scott, but congrats to Ernie Els), I was able to get a lot of reading and writing done, with a little movie watching thrown in for good measure. I’ve had One Day […]

Book Review: These Things Hidden by Heather Gudenkauf
I have a backlog of book reviews that I’m excited to share with you in the coming week. Since 2012 is nearly half over (what?!), I thought it’d be fun to check in on my list and see where we’re at. The total for the year to date is 18 books! An average of three […]
Printers Row Lit Fest
First of all, thank you so much for the kind words on our half marathon. You are all amazing and really helped me keep the race in perspective. I’ve spent the past couple of days foam rolling and stretching like crazy and am happy to report that the soreness is nearly gone. Now the real […]

Book Review: Insurgent by Veronica Roth

Book Review: Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
How do you write a book review about a classic like Gone with the Wind? It seemed daunting – the summary alone encompasses 1,000+ pages of plot. I was tempted to “think about it tomorrow,” as Scarlett O’Hara would say, but decided I had to gush about it while it was freshest in my mind. […]
Book Review: The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides
Our most recent book club choice was Jeffrey Eugenides’ The Marriage Plot, winner of the Pulitzer Prize. I think you’ll find this particular review to be a bit different than others I’ve done, as this book was a bit of a mixed bag for me. Hopefully it will still prove helpful. Source In Short Read […]
