      food pairing: Lavender chocolate-effuse cookies with Throne of Glass

      May 29, 2016

      With the decadence of classic fantasy, Sarah J. Maas’ Throne of Glass is a treat that brings a warm, sugary happiness. The land of Erilea isn’t next door simply a car or train ride away, but instead surrounds with a richness that only well-formed magic, and castles, and wyverns can bring. The sprink...

      an aside--film 101: 101 movies that found a permanent place in me

      May 24, 2016

      After finding a few surprises on someone else’s list of top-100 films, I decided to see how closely my presumed tastes align with the real list in my head (with an extra for luck!). Well unsurprisingly the list ended up coinciding with many of my best-loved written pages. My YA love shines strong as...

      Moone Boy

      by Chris O’Dowd and Nick V. Murphy

       

      The pure fun and sincere vulnerability of the Moone Boy stories is heard in the voices of its co-authors. With a setting based on Chris O’Dowd’s childhood and adventures stolen from both author’s memories, Moone Boy rings as true as it does silly. The aut...

      BookCon came upon me suddenly. There I was vaguely entranced by starfields glittering through the Chicago River, slightly lost to the hum of the L ride home, when Sarah J. Maas’ face on a poster caught the corner of my eye. What is Sarah J. Maas doing pasted on the train, and is that Sabaa Tahir, ....

      Ruin and Rising

      by Leigh Bardugo

       

      After a brief side trip through WWII (in All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr, with writing that paints beautiful detail), I am back to finish the Grisha’s battle between light and dark. Will the players rise to their roles? I am anxious to see who will sac...

      food pairing: pizza and a movie night—The Duff with Revenge of the nerdy vegetables pizza

      May 11, 2016

       

      The Duff movie, adapted from Kody Keplinger’s novel, is without reserve welcomed to my list of teen movies classics. Filled with the staples—friendships that don’t quite fit at first blush, awkward exposure of personal embarrassments, and of course the must-do dance, Prom—this movie fits easily alo...
