THOSE GIRLS by Lauren Saft

June 19, 2015

Book cover of THOSE GIRLS by Lauren SaftThere are so many reasons to hate Those Girls. Yet when I step away from the content and simply think about the structure of Those Girls as a novel, it actually holds up pretty well. This is why I think Lauren Saft has what it takes to become a successful author but I don’t have it in me to like this book much.

Mise-en-scène #20: Fear

June 17, 2015

Mise-en-scene Fear: Vicious, The Raven Boys and ShadowcryWe fear the unknown. What is more unknown to us than death? I might not have read Vicious or Shadowcry yet but I know they have one thing in common with The Raven Boys. All three books begin at graveyards.

EQUATORIAL SUNSHINE by Wong Su Ann

June 15, 2015

EQUATORIAL SUNSHINE by Wong Su AnnEquatorial Sunshine offers more than just another collection of poems — it also contains snippets of musings. These musings are written in prose poetry form. This means they are laid out in prose but in a lyrical manner befitting a collection of poems. It’s evident that Su Ann put a lot of herself into Equatorial Sunshine. That’s why her poems surely are relatable to anyone in their twenties.

Staying Connected with Postmatic

June 10, 2015

Staying Connected with PostmaticEmail replies to blog comments are a great way to keep conversations going. When we comment on a blog, we seldom check back to see if we received any comment replies. Yet comment replies tend to encourage us to return to a blog. It’s nice knowing the blogger cares about our opinions. This is where Postmatic comes in. It’s a WordPress plugin aimed at keeping the conversation going by setting up an email commenting system.
