After careful thought and consideration I have decided not to participate in In My Mailbox, in light of the recent events involving Kristi at The Story Siren. I am revoking my support for her and her blog for an indefinite amount of time (maybe forever). What she did was wrong and I don’t think any of us should be supporting her right now. While she may be already paying the price for her mistake, I believe she needs to stew […]

Review: Beastly by Alex Flinn

Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite Disney movies (other than The Lion King, of course), so naturally I enjoyed this book and I recommend it to any other fans of the Disney movie. It doesn’t quite live up to the original, but it was a cute and quick read! The way Kyle acted in the beginning made me sick. He is under the impression that ‘ugly’ people are worthless and that the so-called beautiful people are the […]

I could hardly believe it when I saw the news and as I’ve been reading, it’s become more and more obvious that it was not a simple mistake made out of ignorance. I am […]

I was not a wolf, but I wasn’t Sam yet, either. I was a leaking womb bulging with the promise of conscious thoughts: the frozen woods far behind me, the girl on the tire swing, the sound of fingers on metal strings. The future and the past, both the same, snow and then summer and then snow again. A shattered spider’s web of many colors, cracked in ice, immeasurably sad. “Sam,” the girl said, “Sam.” She was past present future. […]

In My Mailbox is hosted by The Story Siren   Bought this week: Okay, so this weekend was the much anticipated Dayton Metro Library booksale at Hara Arena!! YAY!! They hold it twice a year and you can get used library books for dirt cheap. Sometimes the paperbacks are pretty beat up (you can see on a few of them where I had to rip off the library stickers), but the hardbacks are usually in amazing condition due to the […]
