5 out of 5 stars. In honor of the coming Thanksgiving (and impeding over-indulgence), I thought I’d recommend a slightly different sort of book than my usual YA/MG recs. Michael Pollan’s In Defense of Food is…well, shocking. And disturbing. But good–very good. It changed my life and led to a complete overhaul of how I cooked, […]
It’s that day again–time for Sooz’s YA and MG Publishing Industry Lowdow. The general idea is that I share the biggest news in the young adult and middle grade publishing world each Friday–big deals, important changes, etc. My source for deal news is Publishers Marketplace, which requires a paid subscription. As such I’m only sharing […]
5 out of 5 stars. At the suggestion of Taryn last Sunday (when I asked for YOU to recommend ME something), I picked up Leila Sales’s Past Perfect. And oh my gosh, I’m so glad I did. This book is so, so, SO funny. I could not stop giggling while I read this on the […]

I fell off the reading wagon this week. I usually burn through 1 or 2 books a week, BUT the work schedule and I have not been on friendly enough terms for that lately… Yet I keep buying more books, and my TBR stack just keeps on growing. Worse, I’m in a genre-funk–I have NO […]

Happy Halloween! This is my favorite holiday! For one, any excuse to wear costumes and eat candy is pretty awesome. For two, I just love this time of year–the leaves are changing color and the air is ripe with that potential only autumn has. For three (probably the best reason EVER), I met my husband […]
Black. I’m definitely a black coffee gal. As a rule, I use a french press or a snazzy machine (these machines are much cheaper and more available in Europe than the US. Alas!), but I’m okay with a decent drip coffee or stove-top espresso. But then it gets complicated because in the end, I’m a […]
The amazing Sarah J. Maas just discovered something wonderful. She found my book on Amazon. It is for-freakin’-sale.
