I’ve been a little down in the dumps lately – probably because I haven’t had any time to write. It’s amazing how radically that can affect my mood. Because of it, though, I thought I’d share some of my “go-to” sites for when I really need a laugh. Candyboots’ Weight...

Here’s my April review for the Desert Island Keepers reading challenge – The Assignment by Evangeline Anderson. Sean O’Brian and Nick Valenti are cops, long time partners. They’re close friends and spend a lot of time together. Neither of them are gay, but after...

So, this has nothing to do with my month long celebration of vocabulary (at least not directly), but MIA Case Files: Wolfsbane has received some really nice reviews, and I wanted to highlight them. They’re my first reviews & I’m giddy about them. ...

I am the Boggle Master! Okay, I can’t back that up. But I’m pretty good. And I love to play. Lets me stretch the vocab muscles while beating others into submission. What could be better than that? Of course, no one wants to play with me now, which kinda sucks. But...

Today’s entry is about the Vocabulary-Defiler – names have been changed to protect the innocent! Now, I’ve said before – I have a pretty decent vocabulary. I rarely use it when I’m speaking, however. I can spell all kinds of big, pretty words, and I can use them...
