You guys, do NOT take The Bloggess’ book “Let’s Pretend This Never Happened” to a graduation ceremony. I am dead serious about this. This might be the best advice I’ve ever given and you should definitely take it to heart. I know this is good advice, because I did the opposite of it at my [...]

I’m thrilled today because I’m going to see the midnight showing of The Hunger Games and I know it will fill the Harry Potter sized hole in my heart. Thank heavens I have three more movies based on books I love to see me through the next few years. After that, I expect all hell [...]

Last week, I completed the final week in my Year of Books. For those of you who may be new to my blog, last January I made a resolution to read one book a week for every week of 2011. And guess what? I did it! For the first time in my life, I actually [...]

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! Last week, I completed my yearly Chronicles of Narnia marathon. It was magical. Obviously. Although, I have to admit an ulterior motive in finishing them quickly- I am currently reading another incredible book and I wanted to make sure it was the last entry in A Year In [...]

Every year around Christmas-time, I read all seven of The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. I first read The Chronicles of Narnia after I received them as a Christmas present when I was 10. I instantly fell in love and read all seven in as many days, and ever since then, reading these books [...]

Obviously, at some point, someone is going to write a biography about me. It will probably be “unauthorized” and it will probably just be me writing about myself under a pseudonym. Anyway, here are some things you can expect to read in that biography. She listened to too much Beyonce, she thought that she “run [...]

Last week I read Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) by Minday Kaling. Hilarity ensued. I laughed, I laughed some more, I nodded my head in understanding and sisterly solidarity, and then I laughed again. Mindy Kaling, who many of you may know was Kelly Kapoor on The Office (Oh and she [...]

For the last two weeks I’ve been reading The Lost Continent by Bill Bryson. I took an extra week to read it because it was excellent and I didn’t want to rush through it. Bill Bryson has completely won me over as an author and I will definitely be reading more of his books. This [...]

So, I’m still sticking to my resolution but I haven’t quite finished the books I started reading last week. I was very distracted by Thanksgiving and spent the remaining days in a food induced coma. But, no fear! I read multiple books in past weeks so, I’m still ahead of the game. I will tell [...]

For those of you who might be new here, every Monday I write a post about the book I read last week. It’s all a part of the New Years Resolution I made to read one book a week for an entire year. Here we are in November and I haven’t missed a week- I’m [...]
