Thanks to my dear friend Jenny, I’ve gotten the chance to be an advance reader for Jessa Archer‘s new cozy mysteries. Per her author bio, “Jessa Archer writes sweet, funny, warm-hearted cozy mysteries because she loves a good puzzle and can’t stand the sight of blood,” so have no fear, these are nice and safe…

Sadly, today marks the end of Penguin Random House’s advance galley review service, First to Read. Now I need all five of you reading this to share and comment so I can be cool enough for NetGalley (; One of my favorite parts of this program was reading things I probably wouldn’t have gotten to…

Feel free to click here to explore the full photos – some of the prompts related to the day at hand perfectly, and some were a good…

I’ve spent the past few months trying to dig out of a pile of a half-read books. So, of course, I thought it was a great idea to request more through Penguin’s First to Read program….. Musical theatre and food are two of the great loves of my life. Books about the two? How could…

For anyone curious about the actual recipes shared on my Instagram last night….. Friday night was a semi-impromptu dinner party with my favorite local gals — the type of people for whom hanging out in pjs and not talking is the perfect introvert socialization. As it had been two months since we’ve seen each other…
