I’ve an Author Page on Goodreads and I Need to Tell the World

I have an author page on Goodreads (and, on Amazon), and finding out this exciting news has made my entire day.

What Reading Does to your Brain

I used to read. A lot. I love getting a new book and diving into the characters and their lives. I still own every single Babysitter’s Club book because classics never go out of style. I had books (nice old ones, not the Babysitter’s club) as decor at my wedding. I have a quote from […]

New Girl Made me Want to Have 4 Male Roommates

When New Girl originally came out, I was looking for a place to live. After not being able to find a roommate for my amazing apartment in an even more amazing location, I set myself up to move in with a girl from work, which didn’t work out — at all. I lived there for […]
