Check out another fantastic book I reviewed that centers around midwifery HERE.  Here’s a vague, three run-on sentence long history of delivering babies:  Skilled women helped other women deliver their babies and would pass the torch of ”mystical delivery” down to other women because, after all, a woman knows how women things work better than a man. Fast forward to the nineteenth century and the medical field becomes ”professionalized” and the field of gynecology was […]

Yeaaaaah, I was supposed to post a review about this AMAZING book (more than) a few months ago but lets move on, shall we? *clears throat* The thing is, I enjoyed this re-telling of Jane Eyre so much that I was waiting for my intellect to catch up. RE JANE was incredibly clever, insightful, poignant, and funny. Sometimes it’s hard to come up with the words to review such a smart book. I bow down […]

A Small Indiscretion was one of those books that I saw on another blog last year and thought to myself Ohhh! I really want to read this!. I occasionally passed by it at Barnes and Noble over the past year and would say to my husband while pointing at it with the excitement of remembering a long-forgotten good idea, “Oh! I have been wanting to read that one!”. Ultimately, the book failed to ever make it […]

If you’re like me, a Summer Vacation, or any kind of real vacation, is out of reach on a seasonal basis. Between paying for school, paying the bills, paying for my zoo, and just plain paying to live (the daily grind kind), I’m lucky if I have enough cash to go on a road trip from Houston to Austin. So, naturally, I spend all of the disposable income I just denied having on books that […]

My thoughts… This is going to be a short review. I really liked this book. It’s the first book by this author that I’ve read and I wasn’t real sure what to expect. I’d read a few reviews and one of the things that piqued my interest was that reviewers and readers were talking about the letters that Eric wrote to Annie. With those letters in mind I dove right in. I loved the main […]

My thoughts… Oh how I love Drew & Fable! I can’ t seem to get enough of them. I love slipping into their world and getting lost. They are without a doubt one of my favorite book couples. Even though this novella is short there is a lot happening within it. There’ s the wedding and the… Sorry I can’ t say anymore since I don’ t want to give anything away. :/ I will […]
