I picked up this book for my IRL book club. My friend, Ani, was so in love with this book and surprised by its ending so we’re reading it. Once I was done, the only thing I could think of was what did I just read? LOL. This is the second twisted family story I’ve…

Ok I was going to post my jam of the week here, but I heard this new celebrity Earth Day song and I had to share because it’s so funny and so real. The one thing I stand for is the Earth, this planet that we all live on. Seriously, there’s no where for us…
