Greek mythology has always been something I have an interest in. While I haven't had the chance to study it extensively, I did write a couple of essays on the subject while I was in middle school, and I took a Greek history class in university. I know there are plenty of books out there that cater to... Continue Reading →
Book recommendation: The Boyfriend List: 15 Guys, 11 Shrink Appointments, 4 Ceramic Frogs and Me, Ruby Oliver by E. Lockhart

I think that, maybe, a humorous story about a god... Continue Reading →
