“And that’s all show business is, really. Transitioning panics.” – p. 83 I loved Mindy Kaling’s Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) so when I saw she had a new book coming out, I immediately added it to my “To Read” list. Why Not Me? (one of our September picks) proved to…
Happy November! I imagine by now, you have all of your sweaters and scarves out of storage bins. I have been drinking a lot of tea and reading a lot of books. Here are three books The Write Teacher(s) is looking forward to reading this month: Little Victories: Rules for Imprefect Living by Jason Grey…
Whenever people are just starting to delve into the world of gender theory and ask me for recommendations of books, my first go-to rec is pretty much anything by Kate Bornstein. Kate (who goes by ze, hir, hirs pronouns) is an author, playwright and performance artist who, in my option has written some of the…
Dear Bookworms, For every book that is published and sent out into the world, there are at least eight that remain, for one reason or another, unpublished and unheard of – well, unheard of by you and I anyway.

What I did not immediately realize, however, was that this wasn’t historical fiction in the sense that author created an interesting story in a…
“Because deep down, people think something is wrong with you when you aren’t married or engaged at twenty-seven. It starts to be strange.” (p. 142) Everybody Rise by Stephanie Clifford (one of our August picks) was an absolutely wonderful summer read. I will admit, the delightful cover was the first thing to grab my attention….
Dear Bookworms, Overall, The Right Design by Isabella Louise Anderson is best described as a quick romp – in more ways than one.
