Last year I only wrote one post about the books I had read. It was a pretty long post highlighting a few of my favorite reads from the first half of the year. I never did write about the second fifty of the year, but you can always check out my GoodReads situation to see … Continue reading 13 Books

Books of 2016 Superlatives
I wasn't super popular in high school, but I think most people knew who I was. And most people who knew me told me all the time how beautiful my eyes were. At that time I was wearing contacts and everyone would always ask if they were color contacts (they weren't) and would tell their … Continue reading Books of 2016 Superlatives

This latest batch is a diverse bunch of books. From pen pals to psychos, from time travel to space travel, I've read some tales! I'm still four books behind but determined to catch up.

Last night I watched the last episode of Raising Hope. I had previously watched the first 2 seasons on Netflix and for some reason had come away with the impression that it got worse as it went on.

Currently I am reading State of Wonder by Ann Patchett and today I read something that made me say, "Yes!" and get … Continue reading State of Wonder and Well Intentioned Women
Here’s the thing about Twilight
After years of talking smack, I finally read Twilight. I have to say, I was relieved that all my smack-talking was totally deserved. It's not a good book, guys. I'm bummed it has so many readers, many of whom are young, impressionable girls who really need a better role model than Bella.

Here’s the thing about the Ender’s Game series
Last year I read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and I was like, "This is fun!" Also last year I watched Ender's Game on Netflix (Bless Netflix) and I was like, "This is awesome and I'm hooked and I want to read this book!" So this year I decided to read more Sci Fi. I … Continue reading Here’s the thing about the Ender’s Game series
