Fake Busy
Posted on August 13, 2011 Leave a Comment
I’m that sort of busy that’s all kind of fake. I’ve built up the illusion of busyness, and, it’s so good, I’ve even faked myself out. Here’s what I’ve been up to: I remembered that I have a library card. This is not a good thing. When I go to the library, I usually have […]
Why I Read YA
Posted on July 8, 2011 Leave a Comment
It seems every few weeks, someone says something misguided or general about the Young Adult section at the local library/bookstore.

Typical Midwest middle class family. If that phrase doesn’t help you form a mental image, I apologize. This post may not make that much sense.
