• What else am I to do?

  It’s 10pm on a Saturday. Obviously now is the perfect time to start reading an 850 page novel about romance and time travel.  Anyone want to hazard a guess as to which number this fulfills on my book challenge? Update. I’ve finished. It was amazing. It could have fulfilled five numbers on my challenge: No 1. A…

• Unabrow: Misadventures of a Late Bloomer by Una LaMarche

  Una LaMarche is my spirit animal. She has a “Shit List Bingo” card that calls out the “lotto bitch who never calls your numbers,” and “people who misplace apostrophe’s like moron’s.” I love her. No. 3 on my challenge (obviously).

• Bookish Alphabet

  This seemed like fun, so I stole it from HiddenStaircase. It’s rather self explanatory. Author You’ve Read The Most Books From Either Janet Evanovich or Sandra Brown. Don’t judge me. I am a voracious reader of all sorts. Best Sequel Ever A Wolf at the Table by Augusten Burroughs. Though technically not a sequel, it was the second book of his that I read about…

• “Enough with the Harry Potter already!”

  Alright, none of you have actually said this to my face intimated this through comments (or lack thereof) and passive aggressive vibes, but I just took a look through my posts since February, and yeah, a lot of them are Harry Potter related. Most, actually. But that’s because I finally discovered the series. I’m 27. It took me…

• Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling

  For years I have heard it said, but now I know it to be true: JK Rowling is brilliant. Masterful, even. I thought I knew the story. I was wrong. I am so very glad I was. Finally, the last for no. 20 on my challenge. I kind of feel like there’s nothing left to read…

• Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling

  “And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.” —Dumbledore My favourite quote from my favourite character from my favourite Harry Potter book (which happens to have my favourite cover illustration). Dumbledore, I’ll miss you. No. 20 on my book challenge. Almost there.

• The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion

  Chapter 33 ripped my heart out. Luckily chapters 1-32 and 34-36 were charming, hilarious, and cleverly written. Amazing. No. 18 on my challenge. I guess some people might call it teal…
