For some that title is quite literal, which hey if that is what you need to deal with the world we live in, I get it. However, of course I mean this is a metaphorical context after just reading John Williams brilliant novel "Stoner." This wonderful tale takes us into the ordinary life of a … Continue reading We All Walk Through Life As A Stoner
Alas I wish I could place this blog in the travel category, but for today it belongs in the literature category. I was in my local book store, perusing the cheap paperback section (a favorite past-time of mine), and came across "Congo" by Michael Crichton. I had heard of Crichton from someone in my book … Continue reading The Congo: A World of Mystery and Beauty
Once again my book club pulled through and introduced me to a book that may have never crossed my path, yet I absolutely loved it. It makes me wonder how many other books are out there screaming "Sarah, pick me! You and I will get along so well!" Alas, so many books, so little time. … Continue reading Circe; Everyone Is Human

Welcome to part two of my series (not sure how many there will be so there is not an "of....." to follow this). This series of posts dives into each chapter of the fabulous literature of Georgia and Karen from the podcast My Favorite Murder, and also explores my own connections to each. Chapter two, … Continue reading Proud Murderino Part 2: Sweet Baby Angels
Hey there fellow Murderinos and those who have no idea what that means. This series of blogs are going to be fun, I just know it! Let's first address what some of you may be thinking; what in the heck is a Murderino and why did you use such foul language in the title of … Continue reading Proud Murderino Part 1: F*** Politeness
Seriously she does. Recently I sent a query out to the Facebook world for the next book I should shove my nose into, and was giddy when I noticed a dear friend of mine was one of the first to respond. I was giddy because she if the kind of friend that when she recommends … Continue reading Eleanor Oliphant Just Gets Me
