When I was about sixteen, neighbors who didn’t know they were having twins welcomed two newborns home. I, of course, tripped over myself in my zeal to baby-sit.

Romantic comedies typically open with a stock ‘meet-cute’ scene in which hero and heroine exchange their first words.

This month, Book Hungry selected BEAUTY, A RETELLING OF BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, by Robin McKinley for review. I try hard not to use spoilers in these reviews but find that is impossible in this case. But, since it’s a tale as old as time, maybe you’ll forgive me for it just this once. I […]
