11… Reasons I Don’t Hate Nicholas Sparks

11... Reasons I Don't Hate Nicholas Sparks. I'm sure he's lovely, but his writing is crap and formulaic. His settings, however, are idyllic. I do love North Carolina, so we at least have one thing in common.

How to Date Men When You Hate Men by Blythe Roberson

How to Date Men When You Hate Men by Blythe Roberson is a hilarious and insightful look into the weird world of dating as a semi aware person with a love hate relationship for the opposite gender. Roberson is wildly honest about her Timothee Chalamet obsession, but who am I to judge with my love for bagpipes. She's funny, deep, smart, and intensely real.

11…

11... is a new blog series to be published on Mondays, or as many Mondays as I can muster. To be published at 11:11 because it's cute and cliche. Sometimes I like that just not in plots; unless I'm the one writing the plot, then it's original and captivating. The first 11... will be random facts about me because why not?!?

I Like to Watch by Emily Nussbaum

I Like to Watch by Emily Nussbaum from is the best book I've read this summer. As the work-from-home, freelancer, hermit, stay-at-home dog mom, I mean, writer I am, I watch a lot more TV than I own up to. I have a lot of opinions, and I'm yet to find one of Nussbaum's I disagree with. Here's my review; you should read it, then read the book.

Evvie Drake Starts Over by Linda Holmes

If you're looking for a harsh yet kind not completely bad book review, look no further. Evvie Drake Starts Over by Linda Holmes made me sad because the plot sucks. The dialogue is good, but it's definitely nothing more than an escapist read for vacation.
