Grammar Snufus by Karla Stover

Okay, here's the deal. When did people become "that" instead of "who?" I hear this on the radio on the TV ( and shouldn't news reporters know better )? and unless my memory is wrong, have even read it in places. Why? How hard is it to remember that people require a "who"? And here's another--myself instead of me. My boss did this all this time and it drove me crazy. Are we so afraid to  be in the spotlight that we have to say, "So-and-so and myself did such-and-so?"

True Love's First Kiss, Heartbreak and Single Again- Review of Anatomy of a Boyfriend, Anatomy of a Single Girl, Interview with Daria Snadowsky and Giveaway

Anatomy of a Boyfriend by Daria Snadowsky Available Now Publisher:  Delacorte Books For Young Readers Received from Author for review To Buy Links- Amazon / Kindle / Barnes and Noble / Book Depository /  Indiebound / Kobo Goodreads Synopsis- Before this all happened, the closest I'd ever come to getting physical with a guy was playing the board game Operation. Okay, so maybe that sounds pathetic, but it's not like there were any guys at my high school who I cared to share more than three words with, let alone my body.  Then I met Wes, a track star senior from across town. Maybe it was his soulful blue eyes, or maybe my hormones just started raging. Either way, I was hooked. And after a while, he was too. I couldn't believe how intense my feelings became, or the fact that I was seeing—and touching—parts of the body I'd only read about in my  Gray's Anatomy  textbook. You could say Wes and I experienced a lot of firsts together that spring. It was scary. It was ...
