A couple of weeks ago Meg and I announced that we wanted to get to the bottom of what The Bard was all about. Clearly we missed the boat as teens and college students, so now here we are trying to figure out what all the fuss was about, and if we really missed anything. [...]
Jordan Weiss is falling apart. After receiving a letter from a friend living in London who is slowly deteriorating from ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly Lou Gehrig’s Disease), Jordan transfers her post as an Intelligence Officer with the U.S. State Department to a branch overseas in London. Jordan has deep reservations about going back to London [...]
I first heard about The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, by Rebecca Skloot way back in November when I found it through a website called Make Me Required Reading which makes recommendations and highlights books that might be worthwhile in terms of educational value to be used in the classroom. It sounded fascinating then, but [...]
I often get lots of funny phrases and questions in my search terms and I always say that one day I will do a post on them. Something about this latest one prompted me to seize the day. When you come to Linus with questions, you get answers! Why do witches like Wednesday? I don’t [...]

An older couple with marital problems, an ex-soldier [...]
If you’ve been listening to any of the That’s How I Blog! shows, you will know that I am easily distracted and frequently ruminate and ramble off on food tangents with guests of the show. Julie (Booking Mama) and I chatted for quite a bit of time about the joys of “reading” cookbooks and the [...]
This is a joint Public Service Announcement from Write Meg! & Linus’s Blanket ! It was a cold, wintry night when Megan joined Nicole on her weekly feature “That’s How I Blog!” — a chronicle of the reading and blogging habits of those in the book blog community. It didn’t take long for the ladies [...]
This was supposed to post yesterday, but it didn’t. WP is funny like that at times. But you should be able to expect updates on this little project every Wednesday. My Friend Amy and I really should not be allowed to talk or e-mail or twitter. Ever. Because well…we chat about things, and then wonder [...]
