I took a very long hiatus from blogging. Not only had I hit blogging burn-out but I’d also fallen into a reading slump. Having time off over the summer, I fell back into blogging and reading and happily curled back up into my corner of the internet. I felt a bit rusty at first but, […]

My fiance usually asks what I’m currently reading and about half the time […]

Having grown up watching the campy, 1950s The Bad Seed it was hard not to be reminded of Rhoda Penmark while reading The Push. Yes, both deal with mothers questioning their daughters innocence and brings the question nature vs nurture to the forefront. However, The Push has its own voice and story to tell. Blythe […]
