Haven’t been getting much book mail lately because I’ve got more than enough on my TBR pile as it is. But I did add a couple of books in the past couple of weeks I’m excited about: Home Is Burning – Dan Marshall The Clasp – Sloane Crosley The Mark

I am the world’s biggest wuss. Seriously, I am. I’m fine with blood and gore, but anything even remotely creepy and I’m a wibbling mess. While I like the concept of Halloween, I really can’t handle the scarier aspects. This applies to pranks, movies and books. So when I was trying to decide what

It’s not hard to see why everyone has been talking about Dietland. This is a book that will challenge you. It’ll challenge you to think about your prejudices and pre-conceptions, it’ll make you uncomfortable, and it’ll even make you think about your ideas of wrong and right.

Okay, well obviously my first wish from the book genie, if there is such a thing, would be for unlimited further book-related wishes. But if that didn’t work, here are the top ten actual wishes I’d love to have granted. A new book by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. If I had to

I probably won’t make ten on this one, because honestly I’ve never really considered this. I mean, I have authors I love individually, but I rarely think about which ones would go well together. Maybe because I don’t tend to think about pairing at all – I’m not a wine drinker and I kind

I can’t recall where I heard about this book, but I wish I did so I could thank the blogger who pointed me to such a brilliant discovery. This book had everything I was in the mood for when I picked it up: books, whimsy, mystery, Paris and a fair dose of extraordinary circumstance.

I’ve got a confession to make. Before reading this book, I’d never watched Mindy’s show The Mindy Project. I’d also meant to but never got around to reading her first memoir, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? despite having heard fantastic things. So when I had the chance to review her new book, I
