Army of the Republic Winner

winnerFirst of all, a question.  I am having hella spam problems.  In the last week or two, I’ve gone from around 75 or so spam comments a day to around 500 spam comments a day.  Clearly, I cannot go on approving all comments/commenters.  I have decided to try a captcha program.  I know, I know, it sucks to have to do that while commenting, but what can I do?  My question, therefore, is, does anyone know of a good captcha plugin for wordpress?  Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

The Last War by Ana Menéndez

the-last-warI really wanted to love this book, but it’s over-narration killed it for me.  Never in recent memory has it taken me so long to get through a book so short (just over 200 pages).

FreeVerse: The Road Not Taken

freeverse17I doubt that I am introducing anyone to this poem.  In fact, probably everyone who does FreeVerse has already used it (if there’s anyone left doing FreeVerse…Come back to us, Cara!)

Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick

Hush,_HushI…actually liked this book.  I had invited my Inner Teenaged Self up from the basement where she’s usually kept and we read it together.  She liked it, too.  So, here is is Inner Teenaged Self (you can picture her has having purple spikey hair, fishnet tights, and doc Martins, and that will be a pretty accurate description of me my Sophomore year of high school).

31 Bond Street by Ellen Horan

31 Bond StreetI really enjoyed Ellen Horan’s debut novel, 31 Bond Street.  Centering on a murder in 1850’s New York City, it is more about a lawyer, dedicated to defending the accused, than the who dunnit you might expect.
