Hello and welcome! My name is Emma and I've been a bookseller for over a decade. I also write fantasy under the name E. M. Epps. This blog features my Two-Paragraph Book Reviews. One paragraph from me. One from the book. Here's why I keep it short.

Review: “My Planet” by Mary Roach

Thumbs up for My Planet: Finding Humor in the Oddest Places by Mary Roach. Humor.

If Mary Roach wrote fortune cookies, I would buy them by the bag. That is all.

Anyway, men understand motors and women don’t. You may say that this is a stereotype, and I won’t argue with you because I know even less about steroes than I know about cars. So your male mechanic can say to your female car owner, “You’ve got a fraying bammy crank in your left vorculator, and your frunchions are shot. Gonna run you $700,” and there’s no way for us to know if this is true or not or if, in fact, it’s his home entertainment center that needs the new vorculator.
