This blog is all about reviewing literature, films, and TV. With as many great stories as there are out there, I try to review and give friends (and those who stop by), my impressions on what's out there.

Review: Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick is a book review long in coming (if you don't believe me...ask Tasha over at Heidenkind's Hideaway...she kept waiting for me to finish)! Thanks to an especially strange schedule right after Thanksgiving, and some good...
Review: The Van Alen Legacy (Blue Bloods #4) by Melissa de la Cruz
First, I want to say a big thank you to everyone who stopped by for the Virtual Advent Tour. There have been some great posts over there from many great bloggers who have shared their traditions, great holiday activities, wonderful memories, and fab...
Author Highlight: Sherman Alexie
This is one of those posts that I've stewed about for over a month, mulling over the details and information I wanted to share. You see, last month I had the wonderful opportunity to go hear Sherman Alexie, famed author, speak at King's English Book...
Review: Prada and Prejudice by Mandy Hubbard
Thanks for humoring me in my last post. I couldn't help but find it funny. We're over our midweek hump, and I'm eager and excited for the next two days to come and go. At school we're reading Oedipus the King in my junior classes, and we're finish...
Review: Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson
It has seemed of late that you'll very rarely hear me say that I loved the audio portion of the audio book I listened to, but Wintergirls was a delightful departure from that tradition. I love listening to books as I drive to and from work each day,...
Review: Party Princess & Sweet Sixteen Princess by Meg Cabot
After a nice fall break, I somehow managed to drag home a nice flu bug that reared its ugly head the Sunday before heading back to school. By Sunday night I pretty much knew I was a goner, and have been home today and will be taking tomorrow off as ...
Banned Books Review: Are You There God? It's Me Margaret by Judy Blume
Although Banned Book Week ended on October 2nd, I am participating in an ongoing challenge being hosted by a great blogger, and person I consider one of my book enthusiast friends, over at The Biblio Blogazine. If you haven't yet checked out J.C.'s ...
Reviews: Princess in Training & Princess Present by Meg Cabot
I've been trying to go back and read the Princess Diaries this year, as a prelude to reading Princess Mia's novel Ransom My Heart. I had read the first two years ago, but never gotten quite this far. This last week, in between grading Daniel Defoe ...
Sunday Salon #4--Provo Library's Children's Book Festival
For those that are unfamiliar with what "Sunday Salon" is all about, here is their blurb: "Think of it as an informal, weekly, mini read-a-thon, an excuse to put aside one's earthly responsibilities and fall into a good book." While I usually would ...
Library Loot -- 5/14
How the weeks continue to pass on by! I've wanted to read more than I have this week, but have just seemed to bounce from one thing to another. Also, since I leave on June 3rd to spend two months in Hawaii, I've been trying to winnow out my reading...
Reviews: The Musician's Daughter & Project Princess
Okay, so I actually finished these both yesterday, but didn't get a chance to post about them. Yes, I'm still in the middle of my Spring Break (not that you'd know it by all the snow we've gotten), but have been running errands, keeping doctor/dentis...
Review: Valentine Princess by Meg Cabot & 24 Hour Read-A-Thon Cheering
After my disturbed reading from yesterday, I desperately needed something LIGHT and fun. Since I'm trying to get through the Princess Diaries Series, I picked up Valentine Princess by Meg Cabot, and let the fun ensue! Ironic enough, this book is a...
Review: Princess in Waiting by Meg Cabot
I should have posted about this last night, but just couldn't stay awake! :) It's better to post once one is fully awake and coherent.Princess in Waiting by Meg Cabot is the fourth in the Princess Diaries series and picks up right where book three ...
Library Loot -- 4/9
I thought I'd have a leisurely evening, reading and laying around. No such luck. I've been doing a bit of grading in my online class, and to top it off, my students did some cyber-sleuthing (stalking), and found my landline number. Now I get phone...
My First ARC!!!
After a fairly nerve-wracking day (and no, for once it's not because of work), it was so exciting to return home to find a package with the "Meg Cabot" sticker I've heard about from other bloggers, sitting on my counter! Honestly, my heart gave a li...
Review: Princess in Love by Meg Cabot
Happy Sunday! I finally finished another book last night, and it gave me a little happy grin. Without pretense or hidden messages, Meg Cabot's third in the Princess Diaries series, Princess in Love was a sweet little, fun book that put me one stop ...
Princess in the Spotlight...and NO...I'm Not The Princess!
I need to be heading to the gym, but if I can procrastinate moving my body in any way on a Saturday morning...then I will! :) I recently updated and bought the new BodyBugg. Don't let that fool you though. It's an electronic device that only tell...
Being Pecked to Death?
It's only an hour...yea, right. I was dragging all weekend, as if I had mono or something, and this time change hasn't helped things. Sigh. I'm a "responsible" adult though, so I get up every morning around 5:15 to 5:30...okay, so I don't roll out...
Second Helpings
The weekend is over. (Moment of silence, please.) It was such a nice weekend, too. Because I had such a bad week last week, I honestly had very little to grade over the weekend...at least compared to all the other weekends thus far this year! :) ...
