I’ve never liked stew. It’s thick and lumpy, and it seems to go on forever. Not the first bowl you have, of course. But the big pot you see in the fridge for the next three weeks. It stares at you, telling you the responsible thing to do, is to just finish the damn thing.

  That’s how I initially felt about The Book Thief. Yeah, yeah, it’s been awarded all sorts of things like The School…

      Intro

    A Broken Race was one of those moments where as soon as I saw it, I wanted to know what it was about. It was for sale through my publisher, and I knew with it being a fairly short book that it was something I could read through without a George R.R. Martin kind of dedication. I like small joys. Especially when life is kicking you in the butt (hint hint, it is).

Dear George Lucas - A Short Summary of Why You Anger Us

Oh, boo hoo George Lucas. Let’s have a talk.

  You did us a solid by giving us the original three Star Wars movies. Some parts were rough, but we forgave you. Not because you gave us exactly what we wanted, but because the characters were interesting and the plot wasn’t terrible. (I can argue some parts are fairly hard to watch now, but hey it was the 80s. I’ll give you some leeway.)

  Then you…

Candy Crush Gummies

Say what you will about Candy Crush & the King Company, the graphics on their products are catchy. Eye popping, bright, and welcoming are the ideas you get when you see anything from Candy Crush.

Now I personally am not a fan of what King has made themselves as a…

Zlatni Pek Posni Keks: Chocolate Biscuit from Serbia

Yum.

It is no secret that I’m a huge chocolate & shortbread fan. I always gravitate towards the buttery and the chocolaty. I’m okay with admitting that I have an addition. A beautiful and tasty addition, though. And who can blame me for that.

I had no idea what this package said when I was in the store. Upon closer inspection, I can see that it was made in Serbia by a company called Bambi. I did…

The Shadow Hero - A Graphic Novel Review on JessicaAnnBooth.com

  Pretty soon I’m going to run out of ways of introducing my graphic novels. It’s so simple to say the same story, because every single damn time I walk into the library I tell myself,

  “It’s okay, don’t pick up too many books. Stay strong.”

  I’m like a junkie. I can’t help it. I smell the paper and ink, and I’m gone. I pick up 40 graphic novels and tell myself that I’ll find the time to both…
