If you're NOT ... http://www.thehungryreader.com/?p=287 Kinda had to take a break from OctOgreFest for some other blogging duties this month... but I found something was worth ending the hiatus for. Some of my admittedly few readers may have asked, where did the name The Hungry Reader come from? It wasn't my original choice: in the year ... http://www.thehungryreader.com/?p=268 So how about that Beverly Hills Chihuahua movie, huh? Seriously, am I right?
