Sapphire's The Kid: Difficult To Read, Difficult Not To

Fate -- or rather, BlogHer -- stepped in and handed me a copy of The Kid, author Sapphire's second novel, which continues a few years after Push ends. I put myself on my city library's waiting list for Push so I could read the novels in the correct order. But I made the mistake of opening The Kid and reading the first few pages. Then I couldn't put it down -- even though I really , really wanted to.  Read more >

Move over, Jacob: Caleb from Caleb's Crossing is my new hero

I have a confession to make: I decided to read Caleb's Crossing because I had just finished reading Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, and my mind was full of middle-aged housewife fantasies about the Native American werewolf, Jacob Black.

Behind the Scenes at the "American Idol" finals

American Idol finale

I was a rabid American Idol fan for eight seasons, but when Season Nine started, I took stock of my must-see TV list, realized there were way too many shows on it, and decided that AI had to go. So when I found out I had won a trip to the Season Nine American Idol finals, my second thought (after AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! OMG I WON!) was, "Drat, it came one season too late." But how could I miss the chance to see Simon, Randy, and Ryan? Besides, an all-expense-paid trip is an all-expense-paid trip, so I quickly got back into the AI spirit, chose my favorites (Go Michael! Go Crystal!), made my I LOVE SIMON COWELL poster, and got ready to enjoy myself.  Read more >
