Long ago, back in the 1900s – 1995, I think – I went to a music festival called H.O.R.D.E. at the Star Lake Amphitheater in PA. Y’all would not believe the lineup. I had NO idea of who I was watching sometimes and then later I realized I’d been to one of the best festivals of my life. I saw Blues Traveler, Dave Matthews, The Black Crowes, God Street Wine, Joan Osborne, and G. Love … Continue reading Friday Videos Like Milk and Cereal
We are recapping the October 2015 issue this month, in part because of a letter to the editor from last month’s issue, which was June 2007. This magazine is going to be in conversation with itself whether it likes it or not! We’ve got so many books in this issue that this will be a beefy episode. And the erotica section is top tier this month, too! Be aware: mention of suicide about 23 minute … Continue reading 744. RT Rewind: October 2015 Reviews

This request is from Sarah: Inspired by The Killer Question by Janice Hallett , which is told through group text threads, email messages, and 1-star Google reviews, I’m curious what everyone’s favorite epistolary romances are lately. I’m especially curious about modern epistolary stories told through group texts and similar (look I just want to read the group text chain, I’m not ashamed!) because the communication styles are so different depending on the digital venue. Alison: … Continue reading The Rec League: Epistolary Romance
Social upheaval, a smart, evolving heroine, and the power of questioning authority all decorate the pages of The Revolution of Olivia Witherson, an excellent sequel to The Great Misfortune of Stella Sedgewick. Olivia is delightful to read about, and while the narrative might feel a little bit immature for adult tastes, I’m fully confident that teenagers are going to love this book. I may not have loved it, but I definitely enjoyed it. It’s 1872, … Continue reading The Revolution of Olivia Witherson by S. Isabelle
