We are nearing the end!! Only 26 days left in the year and still 10 books left to read. I may not have completed the NaNoWriMo challenge, but I WILL complete my reading challenge. Last time it was so fun doing head to heads that I decided to do it again! There were a lot … Continue reading 81-90 of 100

Here’s the thing about book series
A few months ago I read The Maze Runner series (and saw the movie and wrote about it). I remember thinking (often) while reading the second and third books, I miss the good ol' days when we were all back in the Glade and everything was familiar and nobody important was dead. You know, before Theresa showed up. … Continue reading Here’s the thing about book series
Here’s the thing about January
What a great start to 2015! I rang in the New Year in New York, came back to the DR to house sit with my new favorite dog and two new cat friends, sent out draft 1 of part 1 of The Nation to reader-friends, paid my deposit for my Peru trip, and already managed to … Continue reading Here’s the thing about January
Here’s the thing about October
Here's the thing about October: it's over tomorrow and I forgot to watch any Halloween movies. Last year I had much more Halloween spirit.

Here’s the thing about having it all figured out
Despite being a huge Harry Potter fan I rarely read interviews with JK Rowling about so-and-so's sexual preferences, how these two shouldn't have ended up together, who should've died, what this or that person's life might be like now, and so on. I don't want to hear any of that garbage. I like books because books … Continue reading Here’s the thing about having it all figured out
Here’s the thing about being a weirdo
A week or so ago Kristin and I were talking about how much we love Catching Fire the movie and how we just couldn't wait for Mockingjay the movie (part 1? - ugh) to come out. I said something like, "I watched Catching Fire and now I want to read Mockingjay again!" Kristin said something … Continue reading Here’s the thing about being a weirdo
