Getting By with A LOT of Help from My Friends
19 May By 17 Comments
Last week Monday, I was in full on book blogging crisis mode. You may have noticed I wasn’t around much since the beginning of April and had been posting only the bare minimum required to meet my previous commitments. Nothing about my life as the Literate Housewife was appealing to me in any way. I [...]
Too Much of a Good Thing?
25 Nov By 15 Comments
Yes, I do think that there can be too much of a good thing. While reading Stardust, I figured out that reading four books might be too much to ask of any author. There was no reason for me not to connect with Tristran or Yvaine that I can think of, but I didn’t. I [...]
Neverwhere and Beyond: The Literate Housewife Discovers Neil Gaiman
2 Nov By 28 Comments
Until I made plans to attend the National Book Festival in 2008, I had never heard of Neil Gaiman. Well, that’s not exactly true. Emily, one of the girls’ baby sitters read them The Day I Swapped My Dad for a Goldfish before then, but that doesn’t count because I wasn’t paying attention. Sometimes the [...]

16 Oct By 7 Comments
In 2008 I saw all of the wonderful coverage of Banned Books Week by other book bloggers and vowed to myself that I would participate this year. This year, I was sick and wasn’t even able to squeak out a post on Lolita, which is one of my personal favorite novels. Last week, after receiving [...]

Okay, okay, this is the last thing I’m going to share about my birthday. Marjorie, one of my co-wokers, made me a pick-me-up pink princess birthday card. I wish I had thought to include it in my Birthday Bash post from yesterday (check it out for all of the goody bags!). Here is her creation. [...]

The Sunday Salon ~ Tough Week
4 Oct By 29 Comments
It’s been quite a week here at The Literate Houseswife Review: Had to move from a semi-private cube to an open area workspace at work. I don’t like it, but I didn’t have much time to worry about it because… The strep throat and cough that I treated the week leading up to the National [...]
