Read Alert: FrockOut 2012
There’s not really anything that nerdy about reading. In fact, I consider it a particularly fashionable pastime, one that’s been chic since the beginning and will remain so until the end of time. Books and fashion just stand together as pillars of popular culture. But just in case you need a little more convincing, how...
Read Alert: Catching Fire
Okay. Okaayyyy. I know I kind of repented for my sins after I read the first of the Hunger Games trilogy. I said I was sorry for putting off the read for so long, for slapping the Hunger Games trend in the face. But. Now that I have finished the second book? I can’t read...
Read Alert: Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close: More books to movies! And I’m excited about this one, as one should be with such big names as Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock. But. I also will never forget the first time I read this book, right as Jonathan Safran Foer’s genius swept the nation. I was perfectly caught...
Read Alert: Working On My Fitness?
January is over. So does that mean it’s safe to talk about resolutions without being cliche? The point is, I’m a fiction snob. When I pick up a book, I expect a good story and I want to be lifted out of my world into another one. That’s the brilliance of books–their ability to carry...
Read Alert: Writing Clubbin’
I’ve recently had the fantastic opportunity to interview or review a few local authors (more on those books later). Typically, Denver isn’t the first place on most people’s minds when it comes to publishing; but there is actually quite a bit of writing activity going on around here. I currently have my own “first major...
Read Alert: The House at Sea’s End
Oh, how I love a good murder mystery. Even the cheesy kind. And even the wonderfully written kind–I’ve everything Agatha Christie ever wrote on my bookshelf. So I’m sure you can imagine my excitement when I received The House at Sea’s End by Elly Griffith. (It was actually released in January 2011, but I got...
Read Alert: A Practical Wedding
Brides-to-be, wedding gurus, and overall blog enthusiasts: A Practical Wedding is coming to town. Another blog-t0-book phenomenon, Meg Keene began A Practical Wedding in the midst of planning her own nuptials. “I felt like there was a void from a certain perspective,” Keene says of wedding blogs, meaning that they all only featured weddings with an...
Read Alert: Words Upon Words
I’m a sucker for a new journal at the beginning of the year. A new year, a new me, new thoughts–all to be captured on the pages of some pretty new journal. So when these popped into my inbox last week, I was giddy. This collection of journals from Out of Print are quite positively...
Read Alert: Kindle
I haven’t been on-board with e-readers from the beginning. I’m a traditionalist in that right, and there’s nothing better than cracking the spine and sniffing the pages of a brand new book. However, I was gifted a hand-me-down original Kindle for Christmas this year (previous owner is now the proud papa of an iPad), and...
Read Alert: Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
Rarely, but sometimes, I’ll see a movie before reading the book. And until my husband and I watched the Swedish versions of the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo movies, I hadn’t really even paid attention to the book series. We streamed all three movies in a weekend, quickly sucked up into the complicated and fast-paced...
Read Alert: Hunger Games
I know. I was absent last week. I was caught up, and it’s what I was caught up in that will shock you considering I all but condemned this particular series just a few weeks ago. But nonetheless, I’m prepared to admit my faults, eat my words, and inform you that I am wholeheartedly in...
Read Alert: Books on Display
You know the scene in Beauty and the Beast where Belle goes gliding across the bookstore on the sliding ladder? I want that to be me some day. This time of year, I’m particularly obsessed with the condition of my house, organizationally speaking, and also design wise. Parties and house guests and Christmas trees squeezed...
