Hello Kindle-ites.  One of my readers forwarded me this article the other day and basically said “Hey!! This is you!” and after reading it…I concluded he was probably right.  Thought all of you might enjoy the banter as well. Happy Reading! E-Book Hoarding Disorder: A New Digital Disease By Patti D.

Happy Friday People! Hopefully you are out and about and doing something so fantastic that you could care less about this book review, but for those of you who are home-bound and tied down, as promised…here is my take on “World War Z” I found this book a few months ago and plopped it into my “to read” list without much hope of it ever being released to Kindle, but a few days ago, when I finished the shortest book on the planet, I decided…hey…why not let someone else pick my book?  So I did.  I called my husband and

Well…it’s official, I suck.  I didn’t post anything yesterday for no other reason then pure unadulterated laziness! I apologize and pray that you can look past my moment of unmotivatedness (hum.. is that a word?) and bank on me getting back to my overactive, compulsive self. Keeping that in mind… today is Thursday and that means its time for “It’s a Tween Thing” I always loved Science as a child, lets face it, mixing things together and seeing what happens is just plain fascinating!

I stumbled upon “I Heart You, You Haunt Me” while doing one of my research quests at a local bookstore (aka spending hours in the stacks taking pictures of book bindings) and thought… ok this sounds interesting, but for some reason it just lacked that “Oomph” that made me buckle down and read it. The synopsis was intriguing, girl and guy in love, guy dies, girl cries, guy comes back to haunt her, but even with the promise of a haunting I still couldn’t make myself “want” to read it.  Maybe it was that I was on psychological thriller high

Everyone loves a good Insane Asylum agreed? Take the criminally insane, add a dash of conspiracy and you are bound to have a fantastic time. I absolutely, without fail, LOVED this book.  I loved it so much that I can’t even talk about it the way I should because if I do I will spoil it for you. “Shutter Island” was one of the most masterfully plotted books I have read in years… I was astounded by the depth and creativity that “Dennis Lehane” was able to shove into a little over 330 pages, and even more… I was flipping
