Bookstagram
Partly because I’ve been neglecting this space, and partly because I love to be outdoors with a book (and it’s not winter yet!), I’ve started to dip my toes into the world of bookstagram* – only discover it’s a huge community! I don’t have a lot of extra time to dedicate to it, though IContinue reading “Bookstagram”
The Tipping Point // Six Degrees of Separation
The idea behind this exercise is to connect books in any way that’s meaningful to you, from the profound to the inane. Although Kevin Bacon is typically behind the six degrees game, books are just a bit more fun. June’s jumping off point is The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell. I did not read that one,Continue reading “The Tipping Point // Six Degrees of Separation”
Wild Swans // Six Degrees of Separation
The idea behind this exercise is to connect books in any way that’s meaningful to you, from the profound to the inane. Although Kevin Bacon is typically behind the six degrees game, books are just a bit more fun. September’s pick is Wild Swans. I thought, finally, a book I’ve read! Only it’s not that Wild Swans… TheContinue reading “Wild Swans // Six Degrees of Separation”
Bookish (and not so bookish) Thoughts
I keep waiting to have something meaningful to post about. You can clearly see how that is going for me. My baby just hit 9 months old. I know everyone says it, but I honestly don’t know how that happened. She might be one before I publish my next post…(I wish I was kidding)Continue reading “Bookish (and not so bookish) Thoughts”
The Slap // Six Degrees of Separation
We are now 21 days into the month of May. Chris Cornell has died. Trump is still in office. It snowed, a lot. I wish I could say I have something to offer to cheer you (meaning me) up, but blogging seems a bit like talking into a vast void – and it’s practically myContinue reading “The Slap // Six Degrees of Separation”
Room // Six Degrees of Separation
The movie edition! The idea behind this exercise is to connect books in any way that’s meaningful to you, from the profound to the inane. Although Kevin Bacon is typically behind the six degrees game, books are just a bit more fun. April’s leading book is Room by Emma Donohue. Room was adapted into an award winningContinue reading “Room // Six Degrees of Separation”
Fever Pitch // Six Degrees of Separation
Better late than never should be my new life motto. The idea behind this exercise is to connect books in any way that’s meaningful to you, from the profound to the inane. Although Kevin Bacon is typically behind the six degrees game, books are just a bit more fun. Fever Pitch is Nick Hornsby’s ode to soccerContinue reading “Fever Pitch // Six Degrees of Separation”
Voldemort’s Inauguration
Tonight I realized it’s the last night I’ll go to bed with Barack Obama as my president. Tomorrow will be a very dark day indeed. Not only are we saying goodbye to an eloquent, brilliant man, we are inaugurating the literary equivalent of Voldemort. So let’s play a game*. As one does. Although it’s nearlyContinue reading “Voldemort’s Inauguration”
Long Live the 90s
Sooo… Long time, no post. It’s not that I haven’t been reading, I have, I just don’t quite have the brain power to formulate much in the way of thoughts about what I’m reading. And I go back to work in a few weeks. Library patrons are going to love me. Would you like toContinue reading “Long Live the 90s”
