In which I rant about when books just aren’t enough For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been completely stressed out of my mind. Being stressed isn’t abnormal for me, yet this time I’ve gotten to the point where I. Cannot. Read. Yes, people, it IS a sign of the […]
There’s a taboo in the book world, a deep, dark secret that few discuss openly. Its something only mentioned in passing; a situation that no one has dared to solve. It has often left me sleepless at night, wondering how to deal with the problem. Why the hell do publishers […]
In which I rant about NaNoWriMo Ah, November. By now most of the leaves have fallen off the trees; the frigid temperatures are here to stay and tons of people are hunched over laptops and computers, trying to write a 50,000 word novel in a single month. Wait…a 50,000 word novel in a […]
In which I rant about zombies Since Halloween just happened the other day, I felt like I should rant about creepy, crawly, scary monsters. Since all the old school monsters have been romanticized (Dracula sparkles and The Wolf Man will just snuggle under the full moon. And I’m sure I’m not the […]
In which I first rant about why I’ve been MIA So this is the first time I’m posting a rant in two weeks and that’s really depressing*. But there’s a totally good reason for it. Well, not good, but excusable. See, I’ve been sick. Horribly sick. Can’t eat, can’t breathe, […]

In which I rant about the passing of Borders To be honest, I had absolutely no idea what I was going to write for this rant. Everything I tried seemed to just fizzle out after a few sentences. But then it hit me – this is Borders’ last week before […]
In which I rant about good journalism Before I really start this rant I have a few things I need to say. On August 23, Jackie (NOT ME) went to the Carrie Vaughn signing at Schulers Books (and Music) in Lansing, Michigan. (I live in Florida and couldn’t make the […]
In which I rant about diversity The other day, I was reading a book. Now, this isn’t an abnormal activity for me to do but the abnormality came from the book I was reading – Night Betrayed by Joss Ware. Theo, the hero, had a HINT of Asian heritage! Egads! Do you […]
In which I deviate from my typical literary theme and rant about my start at LE I recently realized that I have been a reviewer here at Literary Escapism for over a year now. (A year?! Really? Time really does fly.) Yep, August 18, 2010 was the day my very first […]
