Book Recommendations: A Discovery of Witches
Now, I'm not one for romance novels most of the time.

So, I was pleasantly surprised to find how much I loved the novel A Discovery of ... ...more

Ponder Session: Rediscover Songs You Forgot
About a month ago, some friends and I were making an exhaustive playlist for a party I was having. We were trying to come up with a good mix of current songs and throwbacks we all loved at one point in our lives. We ended up coming up with some forgotten gems that would get each one of us excited in turn as we shouted out each one. There was one artist whose music was escaping me, nagging at ... ...more
