I've been asked quite a bit lately about my writing. What am I writing? When am I going to be finished? When will I submit? And, mostly, what happened to that other book you wrote? In January last year, I had a moment, sitting in my office, when I realized that I wasn't fulfilled. I [...]

Typical romance novels are not my jam. I can do without heaving bosoms and deep, meaningful stares. Bleh. And after falling for the 50 shades hype, I am highly skeptical of all hyped romance novels. Part of my issue with the genre is all the sex. Not that I care about sex in a book. [...]
Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli My rating: 4 of 5 stars I loved this book! It was such an adorable, easy read. Simon is such a lovable character. Even when he is having a bad day, you just want to hug him, don't you? There is so much I adore in [...]
