This is my first ever fictional short story and I'm so happy to debut it on my blog! I'm going to present it at the Writing for Charity event next week, so I'd love any feedback you have - good and bad! I've never seen anything like it before.

My Google Diary for The Hunchback of Notre-Dame

March 8, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Google Diaries, My Reading Diary 1 Comment

Hunchback of Notre Dame Google Diary

  When I read, I ask A LOT of questions.  Especially when I read historical fiction because anytime a person or place is mentioned I get on google right away to find out if they're real or not.  In the dark ages before my blog, I would just do a search, go "huh,"and continue reading.  But ...

Book Review: The Hunchback of Notre-Dame by Victor Hugo

March 6, 2012 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 2 Comments

Everything in The Hunchback of Notre-Dame is a fascinating juxtaposition of the grotesque and the sublime - the speech, the characters, the setting. I felt like the whole point of the story was to show that architecture was the only good thing that came from the Middle Ages so for heaven's sake, don't tear those ... Read More »
