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”
Vintage & Modern Reading Companions: A Top Ten List
Vintage and modern. Vintage and modern go together like “insert your favorite pair here”. It’s a lovely home décor style (see Schoolhouse Electric) and it makes for well-rounded interests in regards to books, movies, music, etc. I’d like to think of myself as an eclectic reader. I read a little bit of everything, even romance,Continue reading “Vintage & Modern Reading Companions: 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”
One Too Many: A Top Ten List
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”
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”
