Literary Feasts: Dracula, My Love, by Syrie James
I love tarts. Love them. I think they were probably the first “sophisticated” dessert that I developed a taste for, which tells you something about my eating habits as a child. I was a very finicky eater. My mom often had to cook two versions of a dish so that I would have something to [...]
Literary Feasts: Evil?, by Timothy Carter
I wanted to do an interview one of the authors of the books competing in the upcoming Nerds Heart YA Tournament which was created last year as a YA to find and publicize underrepresented writers in YA. I was a judge last year and passed the winning book onto the final round. Tis year I [...]
Literary Feasts: The Post-Birthday World, by Lionel Shriver
I have never been a huge fan of either chocolate or coffee, but there are some things that I hear about that fall under the category of exception. Molten chocolate cakes fall into this category – I never met one that I didn’t like and devour after telling myself that I would only eat half. [...]
Literary Feasts: The Heart Is Not A Size, by Beth Kephart

Literary Feasts: Beautiful Creatures, by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl
Beautiful Creatures, by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl is a chunkster of a book, but I was drawn into each and every page, and enjoyed every minute of it. As you might have expected, knowing me, that also means that there was plenty of food for me to feast my imagination upon. I would love [...]
Literary Feasts: Shiver, by Maggie Stiefvater
It’s rare that I will read acknowledgements in a book. Most times I feel a little guilty about not reading about all the people who went into the monumental task of creating the book, but I figure that they’re not really there for me anyway and I move on. I did read them in Shiver, [...]
Literary Feasts: Heaven to Betsy, by Maud Hart Lovelace
So I have been trying to control my rampant compulsion to start reading everything that comes into the door and concentrate on the book that I am already reading. It’s hard for me not to cheat, but I have managed to be good and stick to the book at hand, except when it comes to [...]
