  • Stephanie Plum ReRead #16-20

    Things sort of reach a status quo. A stagnation if you will. But that does not mean it is no less wild. What I mean is that there is not many life reflections or revelations from Stephanie this time around about finding a new line of work even though she is thoroughly rattled by the multiple attempts on her life. Nor is she any closer to choosing between Morelli and Ranger. Well besides the usual Joe is stable but Ranger is magic.

  • What Greek myth to adapt next?

    Now I won’t deny I love greek myth adaptations, I’ve read Percy Jackson, The Goddess Test, Goddess Girls, Oh My Gods, so on and so forth. They’re epic in its largeness, its weirdness and dysfunction. They’re also human, explaining the origins of Earth and humanity as the Greeks believed they came to be.

  • Stay Sexy and Don’t Get Murdered Review

    Even though it always gives me nightmares of cannibals and murderers, my roommate got me addicted to the My Favorite Murder podcast by Georgia Hardstark and Karen Kilgariff. Worst idea to listen before bed, but it’s a nice background noise during homework.

  • Thunder Girls

    Joan Holub and Suzanne Williams are back at it again. Their mai series is a long-running, well executed, semi-modern spin on Greek Myths. Now they take on Norse mythology as the Vanir, Aesir, Jotunheim and other creatures go to school at Asgard Academy.

  • The Other Black Girl Review

    Just as everyone was raving about Harris’ new book in the NYT last year, I had to jump on the wagon and see what the fuss was about, and I agree, it is for the most part a really good book.

  • Archie Comics-Where to start?

    As Archie Comics celebrates its 80th anniversary, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. After all, to begin at #1 can quickly unravel considering the multiple titles and issues, some of which are very had to find. Online and on ebay. And what if you want to focus on a certain character or you simply want the nostalgia of the 60s. Well here’s a few suggestions that cover a broad range of Archie comics through the decades.

  • Mean Girls: Senior Year Review

    Like the back said, Mean Girls was a bonafide 200s hit, so why not milk the cow and push out a sequel. And I’m not talking the disasterous sequel movie no one talks about.

  • Stephanie Plum #11-15 ReRead

    Well turns out I was sort of wrong when it comes to the Steph-Joe-Ranger love triangle. Eleven On Top and Twelve Sharp have almost made me appreciate what Ranger brings to the table. He has a certain easy charm and like Stephanie says, he’s Batman. Who doesn’t want to get with Batman?

  • Black Girl Love

    Confessions of an Alleged Good Girl by Joya Goffney

    Preacher’s daughter, Monique is a good girl. Well she’s not, everyone else believes she is. Her parents especially so compared to their older daughter, Myracle whom they kicked out a year ago. And that’s what Monique intends for them to keep believing as she fools around with her boyfriend. But after twenty nine times of trying to have sex, he breaks up with her. Monqiue just doesn’t know what to do, she wants to have sex but she just physically can’t.
