the russian concubine
by kate furnivall.
granted i’m only 30 pages into furnivall’s book, but i think i’ve decided to stop reading. the plot goes as follows, to quote amazon:
The experiences of the author’s mother inspired this debut novel, a somewhat improbable tale of star-crossed love in 1928 China. Valentina Ivanova and her 16-year-old daughter, Lydia, White Russian refugees, live in...

working in a small town is funny. people come in who you know, sometimes its awful, sometimes not. tonight i sat a family i have known for nineteen years. there was something entirely nerve wracking about it. maybe it was because i grew up with the son, we we’re in school together from three until fourteen, when he left our highschool. he was one of my first crushes, when i was three- i...

Dear Jason Segel...
so this can get around a little..
culina:
This is an open letter to Jason Segel, the actor. I’m not kidding when I say I think we’d really hit it off.
