As promised, I’m giving a shout-out to the lovely 50th reviewer on Amazon (who had a lot of nice things to say!). Here’s the review, from NextDoorGirl on Amazon: The After Girls is a great book that asks an important question: How much do we know our friends? Syd, Astrid and Ella have been best… Continue reading Review # 50 on Amazon!
One of my favorite authors, and now, one of my favorite quotes. I’m not sure why Anthony Trollope never gets taught in school.

A little something to make a book-lover’s Monday. I just found out about Little Free Library, an organization that aims to build tiny libraries all around the country–and the world. Not only are the little libraries adorable (they look like oversized birdhouses), but they act as a community book exchange, providing free books to anyone… Continue reading Little Free Library Love
