    Girl Gone Reading: I suck at this.

    I'm not good at self-promotion at all. I get uncomfortable even telling people about Girl Gone Smart, so instead I talk about the amazing people who offer their thoughts, perspectives, expertise, and experiences within this web site. But I kind of have to learn now. Last week on Monday August 17, 2020 I published my first short story. It's titled "Iron Man" and it's the first release from "The Court Jester and Other True Tales" series. Every story is true and based on my life

    The Best Gift I Ever Gave Myself. (Gift ideas for the book nerd in your life.)

    I won't spend a lot of money on myself for "stuff." My collections are comprised of Converse, books, candles, and tea sets. That's pretty much it. But about two years ago a subscription ad kept popping up that grabbed my attention. It was an ad for The Book(ish) Box by Appraising Pages. I decided to give it a shot at $30 a month, and if I didn't like the contents of my first Bookish Box I could cancel immediately instead of receiving and paying for the next two months. (I cho
