People, I have been looking forward to this blog post for weeks. (Because, yes, I’m the kind of person who gets excited about blog posts. Don’t laugh.) Here’s the deal: Back in November, I FINALLY saw Guardians of the Galaxy. As a rather ardent Chris Pratt fan (because how fun is Andy Dwyer?), it’s a shame it took me so long to …
Gilmore Guys (a guest series) . . . MAX! featuring Hillary Manton Lodge and another giveaway
So, this whole Gilmore Guys series on the blog has been a blast so far…for me, anyway. If you’re new around these parts, every Friday this summer guests are joining me on the blog to talk about our favorite men from one of our favorite shows. And each post comes complete with a giveaway for Gilmore Girls loot, gift cards …
Gilmore Guys (a guest series) . . . LUKE! featuring Rachel McMillan and a giveaway
If you stopped by here last Friday, then you know we’re doing something pretty fun every Friday in June or July. It’s a Gilmore Girls fest with the spotlight on the men of Stars Hollow complete with guest posts and weekly giveaways! If you weren’t here last week and you’re scratching your head in confusion, I suggest going here to …
Gilmore Guys (a guest series) . . . LOGAN! Featuring Jessica Patch and a giveaway
True story: The first time a reviewer compared my new book, Here to Stay, to the TV show Gilmore Girls, I may have squealed a little. Or a lot. Because I love that show. It’s one of the only shows of which I’ve seen EVERY episode multiple times. The characters, the dialogue, the storyworld…the wit! Several other reviewers made the …
Captain America vs. Thor (aka Melissa finally catches up)
Skinny jeans. Twitter. Downton Abbey. All bandwagons it took me a really long time to join. Like, the bandwagon was out of sight and I had to pull a Carl Lewis to catch up. I’m still lagging behind on the Snapchat front (I don’t get it!!), there’s a chance the new glasses I just got and am so proud of …
That time I talked to those guys . . . and a giveaway!
Confession: The “giveaway” piece of that post title is a little bait-and-switch-y. There IS a giveaway going on…but you have to go to another site to enter. But I promise…you WANT to go to this site. See, there are these guys who call themselves The Storymen. I met one in person a couple years ago (Clay Morgan), one online last …
The ULTRA important Gilmore Girls post I’ve wanted to write forever: Rory + Jess ALWAYS
OKAY. I realize this post is many years late. I realize that many people have stopped caring…or never cared in the first place. But I also know many people still do care. (Evidence: The gobs of FB conversations about this very topic I’ve been involved in just recently–none of which I even instigated!) I even know some MEN who care. …
Super Bowl + Full House + 80s commercials = so much blog fun
So I was thinking with the Super Bowl coming up, I should probably whip out a blog post for folks like me who are totally going to watch the game—’cause it’s the American thing to do and all—but who may not be all that into the sport itself. Then I was like, wait, I already did that. Last year. Which …
The post about Sherlock.
Sometimes there are important things in the world that I feel, as a conscientious blogger, it’s my duty to write about. But some of these important things are SO great that I find I can’t even cover them intelligently. BBC’s Sherlock would be one of those things. I couldn’t even come up with a proper Top Ten list (which is …
