I love The New Yorker, but this is TRUE. The movie critic used to write hilarious, sarcastic movie reviews that I really enjoyed. Not sure who’s writing them now…..

Why Dove's "Real Beauty Sketches" Video Makes Me...
A very interesting take on the Dove beauty video. Remember folks, they are trying to sell you something.
jazzylittledrops:
So this video started going around my facebook today, with about a dozen of my female friends sharing the link with comments like, and “Everyone needs to see this”, and “All girls should watch this,” and “This made me cry.” And I’m not trying to shame those girls! I...
Tessa and later generations
This——> Everything else aside, we don’t owe our kids our whole lives. We certainly don’t owe our grandkids our whole lives. That is a scary, smothering idea of what motherhood means.
Personally, I completely understood why Tessa left. I would have done the same thing. I love the examination of this question,. though, because I think the fact that it was asked shows how deeply...

Finding your blogging voice
I have to admit that I am nervous about what people will think about this particular post. I do think that here are some reviewers that go way over the line when they review and it turns into author bashing. We do need more civility in reviews. However, I don’t want to come off as trying to dictate behavior. So, as with all of the previous posts, I submit this with a footnote of this is...

Kristen Stewart: smiling is not an obligation, professional or otherwise
”She stands out on the red carpet because she does not smile broadly or pose; she usually looks slightly uncomfortable. Of her red-carpet experience,Stewart said: People say that I’m miserable all the time.
This is an excellent point. Frown on, KStew.

I will never deny the fact that book bloggers can be jerks about which books they get or don’t get. If I had this job, I would probably end up becoming a total misanthrope in about a week. However, I just want to respectfully point out that pretty much all of the book bloggers I know end up buying many of the books they read on NetGalley. I would tell you how much I spend on books, but...
