What Do You Do When Your Favorite Author is Accused of Plagiarism?
Many people consider Freida McFadden to be the queen of popcorn thrillers. I often describe her books as being like Lifetime movies, and I think it’s an accurate description. Her books are fast-paced, and they keep me on the edge of my seat, but they aren’t the type of books that tend to stay with you.

Love in the Time of Serial Killers or How to Negatively Portray Your Plus-Sized Characters Without Trying toTop Story - February 2024
For about a year, I’ve wanted to read Love in the Time of Serial Killers. The cover was adorable, and the premise seemed to be Disturbia meets How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. I wanted to love the book, but I stopped reading by the time I reached page 76. There were various reasons I added the book to my DNF pile, but the main one was Phoebe, the plus-sized main character.

My Art Teacher Was The First Person to Make Me Feel Uncomfortable About My Body
I was a teenager at a time when the media was especially cruel to women. Celebrities like Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears were shamed for their bodies if they dared to gain even a small amount of weight. These celebrities were often more slim than the average woman or teenage girl, so seeing them being body-shamed hurt some of the girls I knew.

A Book About a Stalker Impacted Me in a Way I Never Thought Possible
It isn’t just one book, but a collection of stories that shaped my life. When I was young, my father used to read the Berenstain Bears books to me. I especially remember enjoying the books about Sister Bear. The books were short, but it was more about the time he spent with me while he read the same few books to me.

Can TikTok Recommend a Good Book?Top Story - August 2023
When my dog passed away, I suddenly wasn’t sure what to do with all my newfound ‘free’ time. I hadn’t realized how much of an impact she’d had on my life until she was missing from it. There were no more trips outside for walks or playtime with her. I no longer had to make tips to PetSmart or Petco to buy her food and toys. There were no more Chewy packages to track. She was no longer beside me as I wrote and watched movies, which caused those hobbies to become harder for me.

Do 'You' Fans Dislike Beck Because They Relate to Her?
I first discovered Caroline Kepnes’s You after leaving a rocky relationship. It was the first book I’d been able to read in years. Not only did I read it, I devoured it as if it were candy before moving on to the next book in the series. I wish I could say that my love for the remainder books in the series was as intense as my love for You, but the sequels paled in comparison.

My Poshmark Experience Wasn't All Happy Poshing
I’ve recently started a new job with an all black dress code, so I needed new clothes. I’ve been trying to lose weight and didn’t want to pay a lot for clothes that won’t fit me soon, so I decided to turn to thrifting. I downloaded Poshmark and was surprised to find that I already had an account. I didn’t think much of it as I looked through the black clothing and selected a few pieces to purchase.

She refused to hire me because of my gender.
My interviewer was a middle-aged woman clad in plaid pajama bottoms and a band shirt with a hole near her armpit. Her hair was piled into a messy bun atop her head, and she burped as she reached out and shook my hand. She didn’t excuse her belch, and her hand was sweaty. I stood there, frozen with a mix of horror and disgust as she released my now damp hand.

Pretty Little Liars Has a Groomer Problem
Pretty Little Liars isn't the type of show I'd normally be interested in, but one of my coworkers convinced me to watch it. She'd described it as Gossip Girl meets murder mystery. She even started asking me how far I'd gotten into the show and what I thought about it.

Mirror Image
The mirror showed a reflection that wasn’t my own. Maybe that shouldn’t have surprised me, since I purchased it at a yard sale. When the previous owner bragged about the mirror’s ability to show me the best version of myself. I thought she meant that it was a slimming mirror.

My Apartment Manager Made My Life Miserable Because I Wasn't Interested in Him.
I can still remember how excited I was when I moved into my first apartment. I was so grateful to have a space of my own that I overlooked my neighbors waking me at 3 a.m. every morning. I felt proud that I had worked hard and earned my apartment, but my excitement quickly faded and my apartment become a prison cell.

Putting Clutch Nails to the Test
I used to love getting my nails done until I saw a news story about a woman who lost one of her fingers after her nails got infected. I still like my nails to look presentable, but regular nail polish chips within the first three days it’s applied. I’ve tried press on nails, but I’ve had similar luck with them. During my first week after applying them, I lose a lot of my nails.
