The Spy Who Called Me

If you had told me the evening I geeked out after receiving a tweet from Simon Vance that I would one day talk to him rather calmly on the phone, I probably would have looked at you like your hair was on fire. My hands were trembling as I typed up questions for an email [...]

A Little TBR Fun

I recently bought a 10.1″ Samsung Galaxy Tablet (fell in love with it immediately). One of the apps I bought was Paper Camera.

The Light Was Further Away Than I Thought

I can’t believe I haven’t posted since 11/18. I was so confident that the energy my work was stealing from my reading and blogging life was at an end. As it turns out, my holiday vacation was just as taxing in other ways. I loved every minute with my family, so it was well worth [...]
