Lazy Fall Sundays
Friends, the weather is finally reflecting the fact that it is Fall and I am THRILLED. While living in So Cal is wonderful most of the time, the tendency for summer to stick around isn’t one of them. I prefer cool weather, warm drinks, and cozy vibes. It’s also the season for cozy reads, which for me means all the spooky things! I have a big list of creepy stories sitting in front of me, peppered with some light autumn romances for breaks. I tend to read a lot more this time of year, and I’m looking forward to it!…

Awaiting Fall
I can’t be the only one who is ready for Fall weather, can I? I know that it’s not quite that part of the year yet, and also that I love in So Cal where there isn’t really a Fall, but I’m still aching for it. We hit the third day in a row with 90 degree temperatures, and I am just so over it. My brain wants cool weather, warm blankets, and hot cocoa. Sometimes I think back to how much I used to love Summer when I was a kid. Except now I realize that was only because…

Book Review: Idol Gossip by Alexandra Leigh Young
An inside look at the K-pop phenomenon, in a wry, punchy young-adult debut that probes cultural differences, sisterhood, and the minefield of fame. Every Friday after school, dressed in their new South Korean prep-school uniforms — sweater vests, knee-highs, pleated skirts, and blazers — seventeen-year old Alice Choy and her little sister, Olivia, head to Myeongdong, brave a dank, basement-level stairwell full of graffiti, and slip into a noreabang. Back in San Francisco, when she still had friends and earthly possessions, Alice took regular singing lessons. But since their diplomat mom moved them to Seoul, she pours herself into karaoke,…
