Dead Ever After–Charlaine Harris

What an ending.  This was the very last in the Sookie Stackhouse books and I was actually rooting AGAINST Eric. Which is unheard of. That man was a real dink by the end of this series. Which I guess was to be expected because he’s a vampire. But all in all, after reading the entireContinue reading “Dead Ever After–Charlaine Harris”

Brave–Rose McGowan

This is one of those books that I shove at everyone I meet telling them they need to read it.  Rose spoke with so much love and honesty, and I love how she peeled back the face of Hollywood and ripped into people that deserved it and told her own story without embellishment. There wasContinue reading “Brave–Rose McGowan”

Simon Vs. The Homosapiens Agenda–Becky Albertalli

Thiiiiiiiiis boooooooooooook. Myyyyyyyyy heeeeeeeeaaaaaaart.  Simon is a teenager coming into his own, trying to sort out how to come out to his family and friends, and in general living the life of a teenager.

The Time of My Life–Cecelia Ahern

I always trust that when I pick up a Cecelia Ahern novel that I’m going to like it. There’s just so much magic in her stories that I really love them all. I also trust that I’ll cry like a little bitch and be devastated for days.  Exhibit A: P.S. I Love You.  I reallyContinue reading “The Time of My Life–Cecelia Ahern”

Slaughterhouse-Five–Kurt Vonnegut

I’m notorious for not liking classics at this point, yes?  This one also joins the 3-star club.  I’m also notorious for just blindly walking into a book instead of reading the dust jacket.  Let me tell you what I thought this book was about. Based off the title alone I thought this was about fiveContinue reading “Slaughterhouse-Five–Kurt Vonnegut”

Tranny–Laura Jane Grace

It is essential that everyone reads this book.  If you have transgender friends and want to know more about their struggle of identity: read this book. If you don’t know anyone who is trans but want to know more about that side of the universe: read this book. If you like autobiographies: Read this book.Continue reading “Tranny–Laura Jane Grace”

Post Office–Charles Bukowski

How to describe this book?  It’s…about the postal service.  How did I end up reading it? I don’t know. It’s short? That’s all I’ve really got.  Yet here I am reading a well known authors book about postal workers.  And liking it.  It doesn’t matter that I totally thought this guy wrote “Fight Club” (heContinue reading “Post Office–Charles Bukowski”

Happy 8 Year Anniversary!

I just got a notification from WordPress congratulating me on 8 years of writing on this blog. 8 years I’ve spent writing about books I’ve loved or hated, personal stories of triumph or failure, love and loss, book hunting, Keep Moving Forwards, True Story Tuesdays, or To Say a Little Words. 8 yearsContinue reading “Happy 8 Year Anniversary!”

Summers Read Part 2

I’m backed up. Not…not in the bowel department. I don’t know why I feel like I needed to clarify that when you’ll see in a minute that I mean book reviews. Either way. Here we are. In The Woods–Tana French This book was total trickery.  In that I didn’t realize it was a series. IContinue reading “Summers Read Part 2”

Work It Out

Good morning! Last month whizzed by and now here I am on the first of February thinking about what my new goals will be for the month. Because part of my New Year Resolution is to make new goals every month. January goals went pretty well! I kicked my Tim Hortons habit! (Bye bye FrenchContinue reading “Work It Out”
