I’ve talked about my dog, Asimov, a lot. I’ve shared his picture and gushed about how cute he can be. I tend to talk (a lot) about him to people that don’t really care… But that’s just who I am. I love my dog as much as a person. I know, people think it’s “wrong” or […]
Over the weekend, I was struck by a sudden memory of one of my all time FAVORITE childhood movies: The Chipmunk Adventure. I grew up with Alvin and the Chipmunks as well as the Chipettes. Brittany, Eleanor, and Jeanette were some of the most important female role models I had. No joke. Brittany was stubborn […]
The third most important room in the house–following the office and then the kitchen–is without a doubt the bedroom. It’s where I sleep (duh) and where I do most of my reading, so it’s gotta be comfortable and (yet again) inspiring.
I spend a LOT of time in my kitchen. First and foremost because I love to EAT. So, it should come as no surprise that muchof my day revolves around cooking. And as such, I like to feel inspired while I’m in the kitchen. I like to use that time bent over the chopping board […]
So, as I mentioned in passing, the Frenchman and I are moving. We bought a house! Our very first! C’est très excitante! Anyway, the whole point of this post is to say I’ll be absent from the the blog this week. BUUUUT, I’ll tide you over with pictures of my dream house. You know…once I […]
5 out of 5 stars. What a fun read! Honestly, I was hooked from page 1–Cinder has such an appealing voice, and the world is so fascinating (I heard someone liken it to Sailor Moon, and that just made me DETERMINED to read). Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the […]
It’s that day again–time for Sooz’s YA and MG Publishing Industry Lowdow. The general idea is that I share all the deals I know if in the young adult and middle grade publishing world each Friday. My source for deal news is Publishers Marketplace, which requires a paid subscription. As such I’m only sharing part […]
To continue my Very Deep Life Ponderings from Monday, I wanted to move to point #2. In case you forgot the important points Sarah & I came up with, here’s a refresher: 1. Boba Fett is THE HOTTEST character (possibly even more so than Han Solo)…but only so long as you ignore those silly prequels and […]
So, when I was visiting Sarah J. Maas over the holidays, we got to talking about our shared love: Star Wars. We’re both pretty obsessed, pretty familiar (she even more so than I—that girl is a STEEL TRAP for movie quotes), and pretty anti-prequels (seriously, episodes I-III are BAAAD). We actually talked A LOT about […]
5 out of 5 stars. My BFFR Sarah J. Maas‘s first novella is FOR SALE! And all I can say is: you NEED this story in your life. And no, I’m not just sayin’ that because she’s my BFFR. All friendships aside, this story and its heroine are fantastic. Celaena Sardothien is tough, stubborn, and […]
