The shitty Christmas novel is a grand tradition most popular authors fall prey to eventually. Richard Evans has made a cottage industry out of sappy tales of holiday cheer, while no less than Glenn Beck has also contributed a big ball of goo to the genre, with a book apparently about a magical sweater or something. Gregory Maguire doesn’t wholly escape the pitfalls of the holiday novel with Matchless...

Swinging the green blanket around her shoulders, she pulled her dog into her lap and bowed her head beneath a fold, hiding from the adverse elements: the fog, the wickedly wet cold that somehow passed through the heaviest of fabrics to chill her skin. She knew the crows outside (or were they Crows') would continue their incessant cawing, but here she was safe, in her own little self-induced

I watch very little television. Pretty much only NFL football, Fringe , Lost , and cooking shows - - Top Chef , Next Iron Chef , and Ace of Cakes . The new Ace of Cake s book is clearly a labor of love. It's 300 pages detailing the history of Charm City Cakes and the Ace of Cakes show, with everything from photos of Duff's mom and grandmother, diagrams explaining how the cakes are made, a list of...

It's always sort of bugged us that we've never gotten around to writing about Concord Free Press , the independent publisher that literally gives away its books (encouraging readers to make donations to charitable organizations and individuals in need), so when we saw news on the Entertainment Weekly book blog of a new Gregory Maguire novel released into the wild , we were delighted to see the house...

I've been feeling pretty uninspired as far as blogging goes lately. I read a ton of books last month and felt superproud of that. Only 13 more books to go and I'll hit my 50 books challenge. Unfortunately it's nearly half way through October and I'm still faffing about with the same book - Wicked by Gregory Maguire. :P In the meantime, I can enjoy a new music video by one of my all-time favourite bands....
