Here’s one for all the people who have tried to heal me. Many times, during conversations where super-religious folk tell me I can be saved, or invite me to some kind of healing service, they ask me if a braille bible exists. Well, I’m here to say the answer is yes…if you can afford it. …

Did He Ever Make Any Of His Own Decisions Besides Should I Go On Vacation Today Or Should I Go On Vacation Today?
George W. Bush’s book set for fall release Guess that means he’s finally finished colouring it. Seriously though, I’m sure it’ll be a trip. There’s a part of me that wants to read it purely for the entertainment value, but that only applies if he wrote it himself. I’m sure the logic for the things …
Salt And People Shaker
I can’t stop laughing. I can’t stop laughing I can’t stop laughing I can’t stop laughing! Ok, writing that seems to have allowed me to concentrate. We thought recipes calling for henbane and 20 nutmeg nuts were bad. Now, Ann has let me know that there’s a pasta recipe book that had a recipe in …
The Only Thing This Book Should Kindle Is A Fire
I just finished the most horribly-written Stephen King short story I’ve ever seen. It was called UR, and judging by that link, it was to be released exclusively on the Kindle. Then someone decided to make an audiobook out of it…and that’s how I found it. I have put off writing this, in the hopes …

Blame
I’ve been on a book-reading kick, so here come my thoughts on another book. I’m kicking myself for waiting this long to review this book. I finished it nearly two weeks ago, and I know that my thoughts about the book have become a little foggier than I’d like. It was called Blame by Michelle …
“My Sister’s Keeper” Is A Keeper
A little while ago, my mom told me I should read “My Sister’s Keeper” by Jodi Picoult. The next day, what do I see but that very book. I figured it was a sign and read it…and it definitely was a good book. Remember back when I wrote about saviour siblings? This book is all …
Good 8:48 AM But Only In My Time Zone, Everybody!
Here’s a bit of anarticleabout the Warwickshire police department’s Policing Our Communities handbook, which contains a section on communicating with people from different cultural backgrounds. I’m going to present it as written, because everything I could possibly have to say about it has been said elsewhere in the UK tag. It states: ‘Don’t assume those …

Family Album
I’ve spent a lot of time criticizing books lately. It’s nice to write about one that I liked. I just finished reading “Family Album” by Penelope Lively. Hell, I ended up finishing it because I couldn’t sleep, and now I’m paying for it, but oh well. It really is a simple book, showing how each …
I Might Have More To Say About This If Only I Could Find The Words
I’ve just had one of those for God’s sake, kill me and get it over with moments. Maybe there’s a word to describe that feeling, and since I’m fortunate enough not to be a grade 5 student in California, perhaps I’ll try to look that word up when I’m done here. The Menifee Union school …

A Short Book, Long Thoughts
When I was going to write this post, it was going to be a seething post about how horrible a book this was. Now, I’m a wee bit conflicted about how I feel. In fact, I pretty much take everything back. Not all, but a lot. The book was called Living Dead Girl by Elizabeth …
