I finished The Fault in Our Stars this past weekend, and it’s the first “young adult” novel I’ve read in recent history that actually feels like a young adult novel. I feel that most of the time we throw the “young adult” label on books as a marketing gimmick. We attach it

I spent all morning pouring over our wedding playlist. I managed to cut an 8 hour playlist down to 5 hours and change, and am putting off the task of perfectly mixing the songs for party optimization. As a kid of the 90s, the perfect playlist mix is an art that takes

One thing I love about ebooks is that the format allows authors to publish their books without the backing of  a strong publishing house.

Today, I give you a post from my Fiance’s blog, Hipsterinema. Check out what he thinks of the game Sentinels of the Multiverse. Then check out his other posts- movie and TV review with a strong dose of hipster sarcasm.   While at Indy PopCon the Fiancèe and I had to chance
