Fact: U2 is one of my least favorite bands, yet I’m still quoting them for this post’s title. Blogging statistics are not of much interest to me. Do I really want to know how many people are not reading my blog? No. I have enough self-doubt as it is. However, I find search terms fascinating.Continue reading “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For: A Top Ten List”

You Need To Know…(A Top Ten List)
Did you know? I start far too many questions with that phrase (as a lover of trivia, I like to share). But did you know I have a life list? I do. Here are a few things I’ve managed to cross off: See the Boston Red Sox play in the World Series Hike the KalalauContinue reading “You Need To Know…(A Top Ten List)”
Fiction to Film: A Top Ten List
In a topic near and dear to my heart, this week’s top ten list is movies based of books. I’ve done this a few times already (see here, here, and here), luckily there is no shortage of material for lists like these. I’m splitting this into five good and five bad adaptations. As I’ve previouslyContinue reading “Fiction to Film: A Top Ten List”
Too Intimidating? A Top Ten List
I am on vacation this week in Telluride, so nothing particularly fancy about this list. These are the books that intimidate me, which naturally means I gravitate towards them. I like books that challenge or discomfort me, it makes for more interesting reading. As always, in no particular order (except no. 1 is really no.Continue reading “Too Intimidating? A Top Ten List”
Are You Well-Read?
I’m stealing this from Jen at The Relentless Reader (who borrowed it from Sarah at Sarah Says Read). The original list is posted on Book Riot with quite the discussion going (50 Shades is always going to be a controversial choice due to both the poor writing and the fact that it’s fan fiction). “Isn’tContinue reading “Are You Well-Read?”
The First Half’s Best: A Top Ten List
As it’s about midway through the year, it’s apparently time to make a top ten list of the top ten books I’ve read so far, but not necessarily released, in 2013 (as hosted by The Broke and The Bookish). Getting creative now, aren’t I? Teasing. I do love a list. And this is serving asContinue reading “The First Half’s Best: A Top Ten List”
In the House upon the Dirt between the Lake and the Woods by Matt Bell
A young couple gets married and moves to a distant, isolated lakeshore to begin their new life together. He hunts, she sings, and their world goes round. He begins to build their home – a house upon the dirt between the lake and the woods – and they dream of starting a family. Only lifeContinue reading “In the House upon the Dirt between the Lake and the Woods by Matt Bell”
One Year. 200 Posts.
Post 200. In some sort of splendid coincidence, my two hundredth post roughly coincides with my one year blogging anniversary, or blogoversary, as those less proper than me are wont to call it. After all, I am nothing if not grammatically correct – check out that first sentence. And I can’t tell you how manyContinue reading “One Year. 200 Posts.”
Summer Reading (or What I’ll Be Reading This Summer): A Top Ten List
This week’s top ten list (as hosted by The Broke and the Bookish): books to be read this summer. But let’s just admit what this really is – a to-do list. I actually like lists if you couldn’t tell (the ‘Lists’ tab sort of gives it away, doesn’t it?). I get quite a bit ofContinue reading “Summer Reading (or What I’ll Be Reading This Summer): A Top Ten List”
Bad Dads: A Top Ten List
As I celebrated fiction’s worst mothers in honor of Mother’s Day, I think it’s only fair I celebrate fiction’s worst fathers for Father’s Day. In an effort to combat the sentimentality of the day, here are five spiteful, violent, or just plain neglectful fathers from fiction and music. I happen to be an expert inContinue reading “Bad Dads: A Top Ten List”
