Um. This is adorable.
This article talks about this 90 year old lady who was an English teacher, and now she just gives her time to her local library. She goes through the books that they get donated and pick out the ones that are probably worth money, sells them, and funds the library. She makes [...]

I’m a crier. I sometimes just cry in normal conversation, talking about nothing sad at all. It’s a little bit embarrassing. I cry when I’m excited or happy or sad or really ticked off. Generally I don’t have meltdowns, but I would say that a tear or ten a day is totally normal for me.
That [...]

Just read a article where good ol’ Stephen King talks about how vampires should *gasp* be blood thirsty.
I kind of just like to hear him rip on Twilight every once in a while, so I thought this was pretty fun
I guess he’s part of putting together a comic book where the vampires are [...]

The Story: Mariah and her daughter Faith show up at home one day to find Mariah’s husband, Colin, in bed with another woman… well, I guess technically they were in the shower, but you get the idea. This isn’t the first time this has happened and Mariah has [...]

When I put out the call for good indie bookstores, Andrea got in touch with me right away about Harleysville Books in Harleysville, PA. Here’s what she had to say:
How long have you been shopping there? Do you know the staff? Are they helpful?

When I found out (late in the month ) that it was Roald Dahl Month, I knew that I had to at least do a little celebrating. I asked for suggestions on what I should read and Tameka said James and the Giant Peach. I love that one and actually requested it from [...]

I’ve been getting emails from booksalefinder.com for a long time and cannot believe that I haven’t told you about them yet.
Their site is sort of ugly and crappy, but their service is so very useful.
If you go to their site, there is a map of America. Click on your state, then your area and see [...]

I got this in my email box from Shaun the other day. I’m so glad that he supports my book nerdiness

I have had several people talk to me lately about what a mixed bag of books I read and asked how I choose what I will read next. Here ya go.
I have all the books that I own but haven’t read yet in a basket under my nightstand. Sometimes there’s not enough room in the [...]

Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret., by Judy Blume
Of course I had to eventually have a flashback about this book. I bet that 90% of women could talk about the first time they read this book and how it affected them. It’s just this really genuine coming of age story that really has stood [...]
