Traveling with Pomegranates
Do you know that I haven’t updated this blog in a long time? Of course you do — if you’re one of my four readers. My apologies. We’ve been cooking and posting on Saucy and Bossy and that has taken all the blogging life out of me — well, that and the insane amount of […]

Towelhead: A novel
I started Alicia Erian’s novel Towelhead on Sunday morning and finished it on Tuesday afternoon. This might be a decent indicator of how much I liked this book, and how incredibly powerful it was. I have had a hard time figuring out what to say about this book at least to start off with. I […]

First weekend back
So Marc and I had the luxury of spending the weekend together, which hasn’t happened in two weeks, making this weekend (even though I had to work) completely blissful. I have to remember that I am allowed to get USED to spending time with my husband alone–and that it’s ok! We had a “big movie” […]

The Starter Wife
I can be a book snob…that is definitely a fact known to most everyone. However, sometime recently, I rationalized that even book snobs need a break every now and again. As a result of this rationalization, I picked up The Starter Wife by Gigi Levangie Grazer through paperbackswap.com, figuring, I didn’t have to feel guilty about […]

Mameve Medwed’s novel, Mail is a funny little book. Written in 1998, it might technically be an early precursor to the whole chick lit genre that is now prevalent (is this true? Or am I just making wild claims?). The story’s heroine is Katinka O’Toole, a 30-something-year-old writer, living in Cambridge, Mass. She is highly […]

Ruby
I have GOT to stop reading tragic books about spousal deaths. Inadvertently, I picked up Ruby by Ann Hood, right after reading A Hole in the Heart by Christopher Marquis, and while the stories do surround the loss of a spouse and rebuilding, the books are extraordinarily different. In Ruby, Olivia, a 37 year old […]

New Moon
I just finished the second book in the Twilight series this morning. It took me an incredibly long time to finish, but considering that I have had a houseguest and lots of things going on in the weekend, I might not blame that entirely on the book. So…I actually liked this book a little better […]

Twilight = Meh.
At the urging of four friends who I love dearly, I started the Twilight series. For those of you who are unfamiliar, the Twilight series is a set of Young Adult (YA) books that are supposed to appeal to the post-Harry Potter crowd (I think). They’re vampire books, but to quote ALL four of my […]
