Welcome to the blog tour for the 40th anniversary of Tuck Everlasting! Before we get into this post, I have a confession: I didn’t read this book until the movie was coming out! I wanted to see it so I read the book first (as any good book nerd would!) I was about 20 at the… Read more »

It’s almost Thanksgiving (where has this year gone?!?!) which means I’ve started to think of what I’m getting everyone for Christmas! As I’ve gotten older Christmas is definitely more about the younger kiddos in the family (as it should be!) but I still find myself thinking about what I would love to find under the… Read more »
I was lucky enough to get pre-screening passes to Mockingjay – Part One this past Tuesday in Milwaukee. I had to work until 3:00 but that didn’t stop me from getting ready early! I wore my Hunger Games inspired arrow necklace, a Hunger Games bracelet, and a Mockingjay tattoo I saved from when the book came out! And of courses… Read more »
