This is a weekly meme hosted by the lovely gals over at The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s meme theme is near and dear to my heart. Because there are certain authors for whom I have a major trigger finger. Thanks kindle for making my immediate gratification happen! Mary’s Picks: I decided to focus [...]
In honor of Anne Hathaway’s Oscar win last night, I could not resist a post about one of my very favorite books ever – and a moment in her career that she very likely would love to forget – Ella Enchanted!!! Backstory here: BOOK RATING = INFINITY. Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine was a [...]

Queen Meg, she who created Amelia Mignonette Thermopolis, Princess of Genovia, as well as my future boyfriend-on-the-side Michael Moscovitz, she failed [...]
