It is almost October!!! I love the fall. I especially love October. The leaves are changing, the weather is cooling, the bugs are dying and reading season is upon us. Truthfully, it is always reading season for me. But for many people summer is apparently a time to go outside and do...outside activities? But now... Continue Reading →

I could not have been more wrong. Seventeen year old Alosa has been... Continue Reading →

Most people know her for her Shopoholic series but I vastly prefer the books she has written outside of Becky Bloomwood's insatiable thirst for things. I didn't even know Kinsella had a new book coming out until I ran across it... Continue Reading →
