Last night I went to a midnight viewing of the Hunger Games.

Books win their audiences for a reason. Most popular books wear their artlessness on their sleeve: Stephenie Meyer, the author of the “Twilight” series, is an awkward writer with little feeling for construction, but the intensity of emotion with which she imbues her characters is enviable.

I Has a New Computer and A New iPod!
This weekend has been nothing but dreary rain. Of course, it decides to turn into dreary rain the moment I decide I want to go skydiving. Boo. Still, it has been nice snuggling with my Teddy Bear again after four long weeks. I missed him lots. So did White-Harp. He also took me to get [...]

Why Smart Bitches Rock
Smart Bitch Sarah of Smart Bitches, Trashy Books is totally my heroine. (Not the Old Skool Romance Novel Too-Stupid-To-Live heroine, of course.) The fact that she and Candy are out there in the world being snarky, intelligent, and awesome makes my life so much happier. They’re incredibly smart, but not in any way pretentious and [...]
