The Road by Cormac McCarthy

Because Sarah P. asked me to, here goes a book review. I apologize for format and such since I’ve never done a professional book review. Here are my thoughts on the book (warning: spoilers):
In The Road by Cormac McCarthy, two central characters, “The man” and “The boy,” are followed as they attempt to survive in [...]

Four Books in August!

I know I haven’t blogged in awhile but I’ve been reading a lot lately. I’ve really found enjoyment in it, especially since right now there is nothing on TV and MK has been doing homework in the evenings (I don’t feel like I’m neglecting him or ignoring him when he’s also busy reading his own [...]

New Book

I bought the book Wicked at Walmart the other day because it was only $6. This is a stretch for me, seeing as how I hardly ever walk out of a store with a book that’s not a classic or that hasn’t been recommended to me by a friend. I’m a book snob, I suppose. [...]
