I’m going to say it, I did NOT like “Fifty Shades of Grey”. Anastasia Steele is not heroine material. I will say there are some aspects of control-freak Christian Grey which I liked however I seriously question if he actually … Continue reading →

After Sully and M2 told me about the British triology, “Fifty Shades of Grey“, I need to get my hands on the books. Apparently it’s literary porn. Put’s Daniele Steele and Jackie Collins to shame.

Confession, I have not read “Wheat Belly” yet. I feel as though I have cause my dad was reading it while I was home. Did you know that wheat is what causes belly fat? Did you know that two pieces … Continue reading →

Am I the last one to hear about the NYT’s best-seller, Go The Fuck To Sleep? Seriously, how did I miss Adam Mansbach adult children’s book? P.S. I die over Samuel L. Jackson’s reading of “Go The Fuck To Sleep”.
