Title: Taking The Stage Author: Paige Parsons Series: n/a (well, not yet anyway) Genre: Romance, Interracial Romance (BWWM) Pages: 134 Taking the Stage is the debut novel of Paige Parsons and I have to say I loved every second of it. I’ve never read a romance novel with the intention of sharing my experience with the public, but I’ve decided to go …
Okay, so I went to Broken Bow, Oklahoma to visit The Husband’s family and man was it something else. Now B-Bow, as they call it, is one of those towns that’s so small you have to continually zoom in on google maps and even then you might give up before you find it. It’s the type of place where you …
Title: The Invisible Library Author: Genevieve Cogman Series: The Invisible Library (book 1) Genre: Sci-Fi; Steampunk; Fantasy Pages: 351 Review: I obtained this book as a part of some swag that I received at Phoenix Comiccon this year. I was totally drawn to this book and it was the first one that, based on the blurb on the on the …
In Daddy-Long-Legs, Judy goes to to a girl’s college and meets many new types of people, makes life-long friends, travels to places she’d never thought she’d go and experiences incredible new things.

Author: Jean Webster Series: kind of the sequel, Dear Enemy, takes place in the same world but not with our protagonist. Genre: YA Pages: 185 When I first saw this book, it was sitting sadly on the shelf at the library. The front cover was particularly boring featuring an ambiguously aged girl sitting with a pen and paper half smiling out of a window. …
This time last year, I was sitting on a plane headed back to Phoenix when I struck up a conversation with my seatmate. She was a pretty black musician going home to Montana. We talked about music, the gig life and other randomness. Then the man sitting next to my left begins to converse with us because he just had his …
So, I skipped Saturday so I could sleep and recover from the hours upon hours of walking. The fourth and final day, though, proved to be fulfilling. I cosplayed as Catty Noir from Monster High and got a lot of positive remarks on the pink hair. I was also a panelist for the Farewell to Downton Abby which was fun. …
Today was pretty fun. I took The Niece for the first time to have one of our many bonding excursions. We saw movie cars like Lighting McQueen and the Mystery Machine. We also sat in on a panel about one of my favorite shows Eureka (Syfy Channel), which was fun although not as lively as the panel I sat on …
This weekend I’m at Phoenix Comicon. Day one was victorious! I was a panelist this afternoon debating whether or not the villains from Disney’s Once Upon a Time deserve to have a happy ending. This was my very first time serving as a panelist and my cohort had never been a panelist either. We were both nervous that no one …

The story centers around two girls summering in the Hamptons. The girls are from two completely different worlds and are there for two totally different reasons. Isabel Rule …
