Tori’s Rant: Carbon Copy Angels
Lately I’ve noticed you can’t swing a bag in a bookstore without taking out a shelf of angel stories. YA, Adult, manga, coloring books, faux tattoos...the new crack is angels. Good, bad, bad but will become good, good but will become bad. They are all there. I recently read four angel stories and realized what it is about them that annoys me. Religion. I find the addition of Christianity (or any religion) as the main plot line to be, well, a mood killer. Bear with me. I have nothing Continue Reading

May Talks Twitter and the Authors we Tweet
I love twitter. It reminds me of text messaging [which I also love] and honestly I’m not sure what I ever did without it!

I will never forget the first time an author replied to me – I freaked right out. You see, as a dedicated book lover I’m more likely Continue Reading
