The Cat’s Meow is 50% a book blog and 50% a personal blog, with a new post published every week.
I review literary, historical, mainstream, and YA fiction, and participate in Barrie Summy’s monthly Book Review Club. In addition to blogging about all things bookish, I write about the things that make me happy and excited, things that make me think, and the ways I try to puzzle out my own life. I love how blogging gives me an opportunity to share my life with others and to learn from others on their blogs.
I’m Stacy. I’m a thirty-something woman who is an aspiring YA writer. In my day job, I work for a medical journal, but I would love to be a full-time writer. I live in Michigan in the Metro Detroit area. I love my home state, and I appreciate it more the older I get.
I’m married, and sometimes I refer to my husband, Jon, as Opera Boy on my blog as that was his blog nickname back when we first started dating. I also have two stepdaughters, who will soon turn 13 and 15. I try not to use their names or photos here in order to protect their privacy, but sometimes I cannot resist quoting them as they are far wittier than I ever was at their ages. We have a cat, a lynx-point Siamese, named Tim Gunn and a Saint Bernard named Columbo.
I am a Christian, a Democrat, and a feminist. My interests include reading, writing, cooking, travel, faith, and social justice, and all of these are reflected in the blog in some way. The interests that I don’t typically blog about include my fitness class addiction, my love of classic movies, and fashion.
I am also a nonfiction editor at an online literary journal called Halfway Down the Stairs.
