So I’ve been all about the life drama lately. Huge upheavals in my personal life have changed my outlook on a lot of things…and in a lot of ways all this “stuff” that goes around in my head has made my relationship with books and reading all the more poignant… Continue reading
My latest blogpost talked about Genre Reading and getting out of your comfort zone, and occasionally trying something a bit different. Well thats what I did with “Ethan Justice” a novel that perhaps I would not have picked up in the ordinary course of things but now I have… Continue reading
