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”
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”
I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For: A Top Ten List
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”
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”
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”
