Book Binge has Great Taste!

One of the positive things I am discovering about joining FaceBook is that it is easier for me to keep abreast (please pause for a moment to let your inner junior high boy giggle, done? ok) of the latest from my fav sites I don’t do a daily visit to (yes, I can do that [...]

… or clutch her hand and ask her to come home with me, or faint, or completely embarrass myself in a myriad  of other ways… Currently Diana is on a book tour promoting the recent release of the 7th (of at least 8, I think) novel in her Outlander series, Echo in The Bone. 4 [...]

Something Cool For the BookWorm In Me

If you have ever stopped by here for a visit before, you may have noticed I had a helluva lotta links to books…books I was currently reading, books I had read recently, books I planned to read soon – even books I had started to read and put down somewhere and never finished. I love [...]

Miss Scarlett is an Enabler

So I’m sending my boy toy packing and stickin’ with my 2nd Sony e-reader of the summer: Miss Scarlett. Aside from that gawdawful cover of hers, she’s a sexy little tart, and we’ve already had quite some fun. The problem is, Miss Scarlett is like that gossipy girlfriend: y’know the type:  the one you spend [...]

Drinking and Driving

Revving Up My E-Book Engine

Oh…I’m so excited…and I just can’t hide it. Cuz I know, I know, I know, I want to… Read some e-books! I have been flirting with the idea of e-books for some time now, but have stayed away from engaging in any activity…until now. I was chosen as 1 of 30 lucky bitches (I say [...]

Lil G is a FSBOA

FSBOA: Future Smart Bitch of America Don’t know who the SmartBitches are? You’re missing out; so check out their site, then buy their book. It will bring you hours of entertainment. And if it offends you that I captioned Lil G with questionable language..well, you REALLY won’t like this.

Instant Friendship

Published by Drama Mama under Books,Celebrations,Kids,Life

A Work So Lacking in Genius it’s Heartbreaking

Published by Drama Mama under Books,IMO

From reading his memoir, I get the very distinct impression that author David Eggers is the kind of guy I try to avoid at parties. The blustery, “you must listen to me and my ideas because they are just so awesome” kind of guy I never have the patience to humor. So you can imagine [...]

A Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Ending

Published by Drama Mama under Books,Movies

Well, that’s what the movie version of The Nanny Diaries tries to give you. I read the book a summer or 2 ago, and enjoyed it with a kind of voyeuristic pleasure – peeking into the lives of women I will never be, living in a world I will never inhabit. TND is the story [...]
