RECOMMENDED: Act Like It by Lucy Parker is $1.99! If you haven’t read this yet, it was one of Sarah’s favorites. She says, “I mean, I could squee at you some MORE beyond my review but I think you’ve heard me already. I loved this book. You should read it. It’s delightful.”

You could just…start talking? And see who connected with you? We didn’t have so much internet back then. AOL didn’t become AOL until 1991. The internet existed, but it was in limited use with limited access. I … Continue reading Friday Videos Pump Up the Volume

RECOMMENDED: Don’t Want You Like a Best Friend by Emma R. Alban is $2.99! Carrie read this and gave it an A:
Every time I think of this book, I smile. Dear readers, I regret that I have forgotten so many of the finer points of the book. However, I can promise you that it will leave you smiling.
