This little treasure arrived to me in the mail. Unless some magical bird delivered it, I believe it was from my book swap buddy. This was the first time I participated in the mail version of book swap. If it weren’t for the emailing and exchanging of addresses, it’s a surprisingly anonymous process. I don’t

GRAB. THE. TISSUES. It’s of my opinion the best art (comedy included) comes from a place of honesty and vulnerability. Tig Notaro is a wonderfully deadpan comedian. While she was already a steady working comedian, gradually climbing the ranks of fame, her career skyrocketed almost over night after a historic set where she bravely walked

So I totally bit off of borkali’s reading list and decided to listen to the audio version of The Notorious RBG… The book is chock full of personal and political triumphs and setbacks all woven together. It kind of skipped back and forth in the timeline, so you have to keep up with that. Not

To kick off this summer challenge, I wanted something short to get me in the mood of reading. There are so many time-consuming tasks in my life (as I am sure with you all) that sometimes I get intimidated by a hefty page number. This e-book was even shorter than advertised. It seems my Bergen

This was another book that took some time getting through. It’s equal parts laughter and tears. The author lost her father and her husband and had a miscarriage all within the time span of 6 weeks (I believe). It was a lot of loss within a very short period of time. While the death of

 I don’t know why it took me so long to get through this book. It’s not that I didn’t find it interesting or enjoyable. It was both. Sara Marcus takes on the heroic task of compiling together bits and pieces, memories and ephemera of the Riot Grrl Revolution, a teenage feminist movement that took place

Hello all! I meant to write this post yesterday. I just wanted to share with you all some readings I did that was organized by A.I.R. Gallery. Once a month they get together to discuss a few essays/short stories at the gallery space. Monday night was the first time I joined them and was invited

Good morning all! I know I’m already lagging behind. I’m not good with making lists and sticking to the list. My book choices fluctuate with the mood and emotional state I find myself in manifesting in ways of feeding into meltdown, pulling myself out of meltdown, feeding my knowledge, feeding my soul (with comedy or

I know I’ve been absent. And I know no apologies or explanations are needed. Here’s what I “read” so far: I tried listening to this audio book before Christmas as I made gifts for my family. I thought it would be funny. Not only was it billed as a “humor” book, the irony of making

One of my favorite movies is “Serendipity” starring John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale. Sometimes I can be a mushy romantic and the idea of chance encounters and fate are intriguing. If you haven’t seen the movie, after a beautiful day together, Kate’s character writes her name and number inside a copy of “Love in the
