I’m heading back to California tomorrow for some lovely visits with my sister, father, and grandmother so I’m not sure when I’m going to actually see the movie (I can tell you all feel really sorry for me, right?), but to tide me over here are my favorite links related to The Fault in Our Stars. Most of them are focused on the movie, but a few might relate to the book. Okay? Okay. Let’s go. Continue reading “Links for a Lazy Sunday: TFiOS Edition” →

Here are a few that I think you might find interesting (a few might be a little dated): Continue reading “Links for a Lazy Sunday” →

Happy Sunday friends! What have you been up to this weekend? Has anyone been watching the Olympics? This week I started a job gallery sitting, which has been really great because I’m surrounded by art and I have lots of time to read, write … and to find these links for your perusal:

An interesting perspective on J.K. Rowling’s Hermione/Ron/Harry revelation, and the full transcript from the interview (which makes Rowling’s remarks seem less incendiary).
Young authors and young adult dystopian novels.
A love letter to Toni Morrison. Continue reading “Links for a Lazy Sunday” →

Happy Sunday and December first! I don’t know about you, but after NaNoWriMo and Thanksgiving guests, I’m ready for a lazy day. If you are too and you want to spend some of the time on the Internet, here are some of my new favorite bookish links:
