I am a 30-something SAHM with two adorable boys and a supportive husband who is very tolerant of my reading addiction. I love to read and easily go through about a dozen books a month – well I did before I had kids. Now, not so much. After my first son was born, I began to take my hobby of reviewing a little more serious and started Literary Escapism to help with my sanity. I love to discuss the fabulous novels I’ve read and meeting all the wonderful people in the book blogging community has been amazing.

As one of my Hulu recommendations, I have to say Maid Sama! by Hiro Fujiwara really hooked me. It was just what I was looking for – a quirky #comedic #romance that was light and engaging. I made the mistake of watching the first episode at 11pm, because the next […]
I love a good anthology. I can read it all in one setting or set it aside for a bit if a book I’ve been waiting for is finally available. Anthologies are perfect for when you want something to read, but you’re just not in the mood for a lengthy […]
I am excited to welcome author Seanan McGuire, and we’re talking about her twelfth October Daye novel, Night and Silence, which releases on September 4th! Have you always had an idea as to where the series/novel is going? Do you know where it is going or is the storyline evolving […]

Last night I finished reading My Boyfriend in Orange by Non Tamashima, and of all the manga I’ve been reading lately, this one hasn’t given me a book hangover like the others have. I still devoured all four volumes in one sitting, but I’m not as anxious to see what happens […]
