Please tell me you thought of Shania Twain, even if you aren’t a country fan. I’m probably dating myself here. “They” say never judge a book by it’s cover… Yet I do it all the time. Rather than speaking of books that did not manage to impress me, I decided to cover (sorry, not sorry)Continue reading “That Don’t Impress Me Much…”

Notable Books of 2016
I blinked and it’s New Year’s Eve. 2016 has been a year of huge changes, both good and bad, and it has not been a fantastic reading year. However, it has been solid, so I thought I’d share some that I enjoyed. If that isn’t an underwhelming introduction, I don’t know what is. Regardless ofContinue reading “Notable Books of 2016”
The Cinematic Glory of my Teenage Years
I, like any good, angsty teenager of the ’90s, loved Daria and My So-Called Life, but my taste in movies was (occasionally) less than stellar. Does that mean I love these movies any less? Nope. 10 Things I Hate About You FOREVER. The theme this week is movies. Action, Romance, Thriller, etc. I will callContinue reading “The Cinematic Glory of my Teenage Years”
Upcoming Fiction: The Autumn 2016 Edition
It’s nearly October, my favorite month of the year – the month of changing trees, apple picking, bonfires, stormy weather, the return of knee high boots and buffalo plaid… And this particular October, quite possibly, childbirth* (which sounds both terrifying and like an absolute relief). Needless to say, I am excited for the personal changes andContinue reading “Upcoming Fiction: The Autumn 2016 Edition”
What I Read (And What I Should’ve Been Reading)
On top of things I am not. That being said, I know a brilliant twist on a topic when I see one. Kate’s take on back to school books made me smile and think, which is a reaction not to be taken lightly when reading on the interwebs. What was I assigned to read inContinue reading “What I Read (And What I Should’ve Been Reading)”
What I’m Watching, but Mostly What I’ve Watched.
TV is not my thing. I don’t have the patience or inclination for it. I fidget when I watch it. If I don’t, it means I’ve fallen asleep. I am a chronic abandoner of shows (sorry, The Walking Dead and Poldark). Naturally I know all sorts of pop culture references. I am on top ofContinue reading “What I’m Watching, but Mostly What I’ve Watched.”
The List // August
It’s been a rough summer, not terrible, by any means, but…long? I don’t know. Let’s start with what I can’t control. It’s hot. I don’t have air conditioning. I’m carrying 10 pounds too many and I feel like I’m constantly overheating. When I left work today it was 97 degrees. My face just made anContinue reading “The List // August”
Books Made Me Do It
I do not often read the types of books that inspire me to do what the characters do. Does anyone really want to be living in a Stephen King novel? While I’d like to think I’d survive the superflu and kick anyone’s ass that got in my way, I probably wouldn’t. The odds would notContinue reading “Books Made Me Do It”
Ten Things I Hate About You
Or ten things you’ll love about me? Whichever. As bookish as the site tends to be, sometimes it’s more fun to find out more about the person behind the blog…? Is that true? It’s true for me. I love reading about others, but I’m generally somewhat hesitant to share about myself. Weird how that works.Continue reading “Ten Things I Hate About You”
May I Introduce You to the Following?
It may seem easy for an author to amass 2000+ ratings on Goodreads. After all, look at how many these books have (I chose a handful of my favorites): The Stand (412886), Jane Eyre (1,164,015!), Empire Falls (86,492), Deliverance (42,487), even The Girls – which was just released on June 14th – has 5,967. TheContinue reading “May I Introduce You to the Following?”
