This week’s top ten list: Best (fiction) Books of 2013 (as hosted by The Broke and The Bookish). I decided to change things up a little bit and do a video/vlog (that word is ridiculous) to accompany my post. I couldn’t come up with a tenth book, but let’s pretend I did. As always, beContinue reading “Best Books of 2013”

Dear Santa, Define Naughty…: A Top Ten List
This week’s top ten list happens to coincide with Christmas Eve, so what better topic to explore than the books I wish to see under the tree tomorrow morning. And I will see them there, right Santa*? I haven’t been this angelic all year just for fun. 10. East of Denver by Gregory Hill 9.Continue reading “Dear Santa, Define Naughty…: A Top Ten List”
Thankful: A Top Ten List
I debated whether to take this week’s list seriously or not. I debated even participating (it was not a good day, it involved a broken appliance). The prompt? Things I’m thankful for. I can assure you, at this moment, that my washer is not one of them. But otherwise I’m thankful for a lot ofContinue reading “Thankful: A Top Ten List”
Quirky: A Top Ten List
Quirk·y (kwərkē) adjective 1. characterized by peculiar or unexpected traits. As in “her sense of humor was decidedly quirky”. Synonyms: eccentric, idiosyncratic, unconventional, unorthodox, unusual, strange, bizarre, peculiar, odd, outlandish, zany, offbeat. This week’s list (as hosted by The Broke and the Bookish) is books that I would recommend to “x” people. In this case,Continue reading “Quirky: A Top Ten List”
Storm Front by John Sandford (Or The Top Ten Reasons To Read John Sandford)
I intended to start out this post by disparaging series, as I generally don’t enjoy them. Often it seems like authors continue them long past their intended expiration date for monetary gain. This irks me. I included often in the previous sentence so as not to offend anybody. Some readers really do get attached toContinue reading “Storm Front by John Sandford (Or The Top Ten Reasons To Read John Sandford)”
Autumn Reading 2013: A Top Ten List
Let’s call it what it is – a to do list. I have review copies of several of these, so I’ve committed to at least attempting to read them. I’m cheating a little because I’m already at least part way though some of these (Dirty Love, Storm Front, and At Night We Walk in Circles).Continue reading “Autumn Reading 2013: A Top Ten List”
Wishful Thinking: A Top Ten List
In a perfect world*, the movie would always be as good as the book. This is rarely the case. It does happen occasionally (here are ten movies that are better than the book, I still stand by my belief that anyone who enjoyed the book version of The Last of the Mohicans is a pretentious liar).Continue reading “Wishful Thinking: 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”
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”
