http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2014/02/14/daily-prompt-its-friday-im-in-love/ It should be no secret that the first time I fell in love, it would be with a character from a book but the first time I fell in love with a book; it was a more memorable occasion. I was in High School in America and my English Teacher had told us only…

E-Book Resources
Since I gave in to the almighty E-book I’ve been looking for ways to save money on books. I was sad to lose the idea of free borrows until my Library started offering E-books and I have a few resources to share. E-books in general are usually a sliver cheaper so it does help you…

Memories : Pictures and Phone Calls
Growing up in the Caribbean in the 90s with limited technolgy meant that every day things like watching TV and taking photographs were a luxury. I remember my class mates assuming that my family was rich because at one point, we had a TV and a telephone at our house. Part of the weekend culture…

The deceptive nature of Delta of Venus by Anais Nin
I found the Delta of Venus in the Bargain bin at Barnes and Noble on one of my almost daily visits. It was a steal at $5.96 and I endeavored to read it as soon as I was done with my current read, which was The Doors of Perception. I couldn’t start it after because,…
