Writing: Exercise for Your Mind

It’s the last week of February! You know what that means: Yes…the final romance give-away from megcabot.com!

You Can Never Go Too Far

I’m on Jezebel! I never thought it would happen, but I’m on one of my favorite fashion/gossip/feminism (and also, on Fridays, YA lit) sites, Jezebel. I guess I’m not the only one feeling a lot of John Hughes nostalgia these days. The fuss is all about this: Although truthfully my favorite John Hughes movie was […]

But before I get to that, I totally have to mention that Allie Finkle’s Rules For Girls: Moving […]
