To make a long story short, the bit of code that made my book reviews magically appear in your inboxes broke some time ago, and I only just recently (a) figured that out and even more recently (b) figured out how to fix it.

One of my best friends, whom I’ve known since childhood, is currently living in the same apartment as her abusive husband. She wants a divorce but doesn’t have the money to get out. You can read her story here. Please donate if you can – $5, $50 or $500, anything will help.

Even if you can’t donate, you can help by re-sharing this post on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Tumblr, or your blog.… >> Read more

A great big thank you to the fabulous Vivienne of Thrifted Shift for giving my blog the Liebster Award, which is for blogs with less than 200 followers. In turn I’d like to pass it along to:
