L.A.

Hey all, I’m headed to Los Angeles in a few weeks to visit my mom, who has been working in California for a few months now. I’d like to read a few LA-centered books before and during my trip so I need some recommendations. Help please!? Thanks everyone. Also, I’ve read “Bright Shiny Morning” already but might consider a re-read. PS. Read & Heard LA

I haven’t had any ads on my blog for almost two years (I think that’s accurate). I think I’m putting them back on. I’d like to get some input on this. Do you guys find ads super annoying and tacky? Or do you not even glance at them? Or somethin’ else? Thanks!

FINALLY

So my computer has finally been repaired and is in working condition so posts will continue again shortly. I have so many things bookmarked that I’m excited to share.
