Although I’ve seen many lists of words women use that men should be afraid of, I feel the need to highlight a few of the more important ones: Whatever: I do not always use it is the Clueless sense; sometimes I used it in lieu of an exclamatory curse word. Nothing: Nothing is usually something.Continue reading “Love All by Callie Wright”

Wrecked by Charlotte Roche
Let’s talk about sex. Although I generally like to relate the books I read to some personal aspect of my life (in regards to what makes a novel memorable for me), I will spare us all the awkwardness that could cause. That will not stop me from asking you the following question (and for argument’sContinue reading “Wrecked by Charlotte Roche”
Not Your Average Travelogue: A Top Ten List
I love to travel and hate to fly. It’s truly an excellent combination – at least I’m not prone to panic attacks. I get it done and I’m surprised every single time the plane doesn’t crash. Because I do enjoy self-torture, I’ve flown at least twice per year for the last 15 years. An alternativeContinue reading “Not Your Average Travelogue: A Top Ten List”
A Hundred Summers by Beatriz Williams
Although I’m currently living in the Rocky Mountain region of the US, I spent the majority of my life on the east coast. Before moving to Colorado, I’d never lived more than 20 minutes from the beach – sometimes as close as walking distance. In addition to the usual activities – sandcastles, surfing, swimming, sunbathingContinue reading “A Hundred Summers by Beatriz Williams”
Stacks of Shame
I am stealing this from Kate at booksaremyfavouriteandbest (it’s also possible that I can’t manage to get my stuff together enough to post a review). I’ve already shared my TBR stack of review copies. This is my stack of books I’ve purchased and not bothered to read – yet. There are more than are inContinue reading “Stacks of Shame”
Mixtape | Summer
Mixtape: A homemade music compilation that contains all of your favourite tracks. Often you give such a compilation to the guy or gal of your fancy in hopes that it will help you win their heart. (Urban Dictionary). Or it could simply be the generic name given to any compilation of songs recorded onto any audioContinue reading “Mixtape | Summer”
And You Can Quote Me: A Top Ten List
This week’s top ten list (as hosted by The Broke and The Bookish) is whatever I feel like making a top ten list about. I haven’t compiled quotes I enjoy in quite a while (November 5th, 2012 to be exact), so that is what I am doing today. In no particular order: 10. “Perhaps onlyContinue reading “And You Can Quote Me: A Top Ten List”
First as Tragedy, Then as Farce: The Teleportation Accident by Ned Bauman
Happy Towel Day, you hoopy froods.* Today is May 25th, also known as Towel Day, or the day where you celebrate the life and work of Douglas Adams. I am not participating; I am spending the day helping people learn to grow plants in a desert. I would rather be carrying a towel. But thenContinue reading “First as Tragedy, Then as Farce: The Teleportation Accident by Ned Bauman”
Monochrome (as clear as black & white): A Top Ten List
In case you haven’t noticed, I happen to like black & white. My blog design is black and white, my photo is black and white, my bedroom is shades of charcoal and white (black walls seemed a tad too…much). So in a bit of a twist on today’s top ten list (which is favorite bookContinue reading “Monochrome (as clear as black & white): A Top Ten List”
Life Lately (according to Instagram)
I am on vacation. This is a fairly rare occurrence for me, so I am trying to enjoy it while it lasts. I’m probably not reading as much as I should, however I’m doing plenty of other things that I thought I would share (if only to make you wish you were here too andContinue reading “Life Lately (according to Instagram)”
