In the interest of transparency and full disclosure, I’d like to mention to you that Beth Kephart is a client of Winsome Media Communications, a company that I started with Amy Riley from My Friend Amy.

One of the great things about having a blog is that it jogs my memory about the books that I have read over the last couple of years. I still don’t remember all the nitty gritty details but if I glance at a review it triggers a fair amount of the book to come back [...]

Back in April, I attended the Discovery Communications Upfront and had the opportunity to preview what all their different channels’ offerings would be for the upcoming summer, fall and [...]
In addition to cooking and eating, one of my passions is reading and discussing great literature.

Some of my recent favorites include The Postmistress [...]

One conversation continues to haunt me, so to get this bee out of my bonnet, I figured I would ask your thoughts on the matter. I have always been a lover of books that come out in [...]
