Vintage and modern. Vintage and modern go together like “insert your favorite pair here”. It’s a lovely home décor style (see Schoolhouse Electric) and it makes for well-rounded interests in regards to books, movies, music, etc. I’d like to think of myself as an eclectic reader. I read a little bit of everything, even romance,Continue reading “Vintage & Modern Reading Companions: A Top Ten List”

Bookish (And Not So Bookish) Thoughts: A Top Ten List
I love lists. No surprise there. I have a whole tab dedicated to lists. I love Top Ten Tuesday, even if it is primarily dedicated young adult fiction (which is great, just not what I typically read). However, on occasion there’s a topic that really doesn’t interest me – like today’s (favorite secondary characters). SoContinue reading “Bookish (And Not So Bookish) Thoughts: A Top Ten List”
Mixtape | Autumn
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 | Autumn”
That Was Easy: A Top Ten List
It amazes me how many social (media) outlets there are. It further amazes me how people manage to keep up with them all. There is Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, blogging, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Google+, Goodreads, LibraryThing, and many more. I use three of these: Twitter, Instagram, and blogging (though I have essentially defunct accounts for most). TwitterContinue reading “That Was Easy: A Top Ten List”
Ten Reasons Why New England Is Better Than Everywhere Else: The Definitive List
Full disclosure, there’s nothing new on this list. If you’re not a Irving-King-Russo fan, you’re welcome to quickly move on – no hard feelings. I’ve moved around quite a bit. I’ve lived in Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Virginia, Florida, and have finally settled in Colorado. My family has continued to move around since I’veContinue reading “Ten Reasons Why New England Is Better Than Everywhere Else: The Definitive List”
You Found Me How…? A Top Ten List
I’m fascinated by search terms. I very much enjoy reading how people find this blog of mine. I think it’s partly because I do research for a living (granted, mine is more scientific and less…orgasmic).. As I’m still in the middle of both The Thicket and Needful Things, I have no new review for you.Continue reading “You Found Me How…? A Top Ten List”
One Too Many: A Top Ten List
I have issues with sequels and series. You might be thinking “what don’t you have issues with?”, but I hope you’re not. If you were wondering, I don’t have issues with salted caramel, people who like to read, or the month of October – I love all of those things. I do, as I said,Continue reading “One Too Many: A Top Ten List”
It Was a Dark and Stormy Night: A Top Ten List
Best opening lines. I’m going to spare you the traditional list of best opening lines. We all know them. You’ll find this week’s list devoid of Lolita (one of the best opening lines, ever), Pride and Prejudice, Moby-Dick, Rebecca, and Charles Dickens (most people cite A Tale of Two Cities as the best, I maintainContinue reading “It Was a Dark and Stormy Night: A Top Ten List”
& Sons by David Gilbert
David Gilbert’s new novel ‘& Sons’ will be one of the best novels published this year. Yes, I said it. And obviously you can trust me, my taste is impeccable (in all facets, no?). My narration and advice is never unreliable (unlike the narrator in this novel). I’ve not steered you wrong yet, except forContinue reading “& Sons by David Gilbert”
Don’t Even Go There: A Top Ten List
This week’s list is rather subpar, so my apologies. I couldn’t even make it to ten, and most of these have been mentioned before (I usually like to keep things as non-repetitive as possible). Guess I was too caught up in the royal baby news. Just teasing. Sort of. I am very curious as toContinue reading “Don’t Even Go There: A Top Ten List”
