• Book Club: Shutter Island

  Originally this was going to be the book club pick of the month, buuuut we finished it in six days. It was gripping! So here are my thoughts: You may recognize the title because it spawned a movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio, so you may already have an idea that Teddy Edwards, the protagonist, is an…

  Ah yes, Alexander and Eliza, America’s now most famous and beloved love story. De La Cruz takes us to 1777 at a midwinter’s ball where the Schuyler Sisters are the envy of all.

• Plans for 2024

  Hello everyone, I hope the New Year is treating you well. Since last year was super productive on the reading front, it’s tempting to shoot for another 100 but I’m dialing back this year. I have two grad programs to get through and I really want to get back to my own writing. So I’ll…

• Tokyo Ever After/Tokyo Dreaming

  After reading The Princess Diaries, this duology also got on my radar of similar themes of an American girl suddenly finding out that she’s the illigitimate daughter of a prince and heads over for a crash course in protocol, paparazzi and romance. And yes, those similarities do pop up as there’s a lot Mia, and…
