Guest Post – A.S. Laing
Today I’m fortunate enough to have the fabulous A.S. Laing stop by my blog for a guest post! She is the author of Don’t Know Where, Don’t Know When which I very recently had the opportunity to devour and enjoy. I tell you what, this was the most fun I’ve ever had while learning something. Annette’s way of writing is completely fantastic! However I’m posting a review tomorrow, so let’s get down to her fabulous guest post shall we? Let me get one thing straight: I hate the word “educational”. Hate it. It conjures up visions of flash cards, study guides,…

A little shameless promotion.
However in this case it isn’t self promotion, it’s band promotion! Here are some underground bands I’ve fallen in love with and feel that the world needs to know about. Is it book related? Well no…but I love me some good music! First off, let me introduce Sink to See. They are amazing! This song is called “2012” and it’s by far my current favorite. Give it a listen! And now….The Rescues! Love love love love (did I mention love?) them! This song is called “Stay Over” and I’m smitten. So smitten. Leave me a comment! What do you think?…

Summer made me a reader.
Picture if you will, a mountainous desert area. Picture a city where public transportation is all but nonexistent. A city where everything closes at 6pm, and the choices for weekend distraction are “The Mall” or the bowling alley. A place where summer temperatures are rarely are below 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and summer begins in May and ends in September. Need a visual aid? Well here it is. (Photo Credit) Complete with scrubby brush and pallid Joshua Trees, this rather barren landscape is what I called home for the first 18 years of my life. No I’m not bitter about it, really. Just…
