#goodbyefacebook
I finally did it! I got rid of Facebook, honestly feel like it was past time. I joined Facebook back in 2007, I think I was late to the party and most of my friends were already on there. Over the years it has satisfied my stalker tendencies but the best part is it made…
Throne of Glass – Book Review – No Spoilers
How the f**k did I miss this series when it came out?!? I mean… I know how. I stopped reading for a few years. I’m not kidding. Life happens sometimes and 2011-2014 life happened hard and I stopped reading. I didn’t really pick up a book again until 2017. Considering how many books I’m reading…
The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek – Book Review – Comparison to The Giver of Stars

Writer’s Prompt: the most memorable thing I received in the mail…
My mom loves to tell the story about my summer sleep away camp which exemplifies my fierce independent streak, but she only tells the part of the story that she knows. When I was ten or eleven, I got it into my head that I was going to go to a Girl Scout sleep away…

The Dutch House – Book Review – No Spoilers
Fantastic narration by Tom Hanks!!! I don’t usually listen to fiction books on audio. I would rather read them and listen to memoirs or nonfictions. When I found out that Tom Hanks was narrating this one, I decided to listen to it instead of reading it. I am so glad that I did! His performance…
Popsugar #13 – A book with the same title as a movie or TV show but is unrelated to it
This is a bit of a tough prompt, if you don’t know of something off the top of your head, because it means you have to search books and tv/movies. Searching imdb.com might help but it still means searching a couple of databases to see if things exist. I was originally going to read Heartless…
Popsugar #12 – A book that passes the Bechdel test
The Bechdel test is a measure of the representation of women. In a movie or a book are there at least two women featured who talk to each other about something other than a man? Sometimes the requirement that the two women must be named is added. I feel like there are more and more…
Who is my wild woman?

Popsugar #11 – An Anthology
I don’t read many anthologies. I’m not sure why… I think it’s because I like longer stories. The slow build to the climax and then the resolution drawn out over the length of 300-500 pages. That’s what I like. The anthologies that I’ve read have usually been because of a various challenge or a very…
