So confession…I’m kind of a crappy Chicagoan (let me put in the caveat that I’m from the Western suburbs before I have the real city dwellers jumping down my throat).

What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding
2.5/5 Stars What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding was the first book that I read knowing I was going to be reviewing it.

When my mom gets home at 4ish, she’s always tired, and I’m always bored because I’ve been waiting all day for her to get home so we can do something. I know I could probably call someone my own age who presumably has… Read more →
