Book Review: Turning the Tables

Merda Pura Turning the Tables, Teresa Giudice The pandemic has been wild. We've all done things we never thought we'd do... going a week without a shower, eating ice cream for breakfast, learning what Minecraft actually is... and reading a prison memoir from a "Real Housewife of New Jersey."

Connecticut Books, People, & Essays I probably shouldn’t have ever begun reading and writing about Connecticut books. It’s just one of those lists that I can’t possibly “finish” in any meaningful way. But that’s fine, I don’t mind.

Book Review: Afoot in Connecticut

A Foot in My Mouth (Probably) Afoot in Connecticut, 2013 By Eric D. Lehman Afoot in Connecticut is a love letter to many things. In fact, it begins with a story wherein the author hikes off-trail among the quarry cliffs at Sleeping Giant State Park in Hamden to bury love letters from an ex-girlfriend and ends with … [Read more...]
