Okay fine, yes, I like the Goo Goo Dolls. "Name" is one of my absolute favorite songs ever written. I just think it's so beautiful. (and yes sad LOL) Anyway, I love "Better Days" as well. This the kind of song that fills me with longing for restoration and reconciliation, for the ability to ...

As I've mentioned previously there's a sort of sadness to Christmas that I enjoy as well. And no one does it better than Sarah McLachlan! Her Christmas album is full of beauty and sadness...I guess that's called bittersweet? I didn't know this song until I was in Japan and also discovered Ally ...

Oh yes, I've been eagerly awaiting the cover of this book so I could put it up for Waiting on Wednesday. What do we think of the cover? I'm not sure I love it, to be honest. About Radiant Shadows: Hunger for nourishment. Hunger for touch. Hunger to belong. Half-human and half-faery, Ani is ...

I read a few glowing reviews of this before I went to Book Expo America in May, so when I saw the ARC there I grabbed it. I was really excited about reading it, even though I'm generally not a huge fan of werewolves. With the exception of Carrie Vaughan's Kitty. :) But I guess I'm coming ...
