x Not revised. x ♥♥♥ 6/7 Current Book: American Gothic Tales edited by Joyce Carol Oates Well, I've made a vow to myself to write literally every day during this summer without succumbing to the scrutinizing pig voice reverberating at the back of my head. To be fair, it's unlikely that I'll...
Charlottesville real estate is so fabulous..I could scream. I've been living in Charlottesville now for 11 years and have really wished I had been born and raised here instead of New York City. Why am I so stoked on Charlottesville real estate? Because: 1) It is my occupation; I am a Charlottesville...
GREAT NEWS! (I really want it in capital letters.). I’m done reading the book Something Wonderful by Judith McNaught. I was one of the books that I have read that made me cry. Cheesy but it’s true. Well, all I can say that it was one of the best book I have ever read. I would just like to...
The things I'm thinking about right now I don't want to write about because this is not a ~deprezzion journal~ and I'm not going to pretend to have a really intellectual outlook on life, so I'm going to write about Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, I guess. While I was in America for...
In the 1970s, a prophet of soul music, Curtis Mayfield chronicled the Black experience in urban America. His songs are revolutionary, filled with hope, unity, and togetherness. One song titled âWe People Who Are Darker Than Blueâ addresses the fact that regardless of our skin tones, all...
My brother in law was over visiting last month. He lives in UK, is married, but doesn't have (and is unlikely to have) kids. A solicitor in the North, Travels little for work but seems to go on his holidays a LOT. He doesn't have many hobbies at all but has (in my mind) quite an unhealthy...
love letter, originally uploaded by smiles4angels. I am going to tell you to go read this book. I know I tell you to do plenty of things, all the time, but this once I really mean it. I extra mean it. It's everything summer reading should be, only better. Smarter. If you've read it already, go read...

The Sister by Poppy Adams Little Women by Louisa May Alcott The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet: Because We're All in it Together by Suzanne Barnett, Jennifer...
What is the one saying that your parents said to you that you absolutely hate? Submitted by victoriassecret. Throughout my college years my mother always told me to "leave all doors open" regarding the classes I picked and my major. I thought way too much about this stuff, and if I hear this one...

I have always prided myself in the diversity of the books I am reading....books written by Khaled Hosseini, Paulo Coehlo, John Grisham, Sidney Sheldon....children's fantasy like The Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter, Self Help Dr. Phil, "Why men loves bitches", etc. However...lately, I have been...
It's been updated. Again. (I'm also going to add the books I buy this year as I buy them--and the new releases that I know I'm buying--so that it's a better list of what I've read and what I want to read.) The Sister by Poppy Adams Little Women by Louisa May Alcott The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison...
It should be 26 and 27, but it's been so long I've forgotten what the other 2 were...Rats! Okay, I do not recommend reading The Front by Patricia Cornwell unless you are forced to chose a book that you will read from cover to cover in less than a day. The characters were not only underdeveloped,...
In honor of the new year (it's still relatively new) I've decided to write my impressions of the books I read in 2007. It's a decent mix of genres, from classics to beach reads. Sea Change, by Sylvia A. Earle. This book describes Sylvia's lifelong love of scuba diving and the sea. It's part...
Book #18 in 2008: Perfect Match, by Jodi Picoult Why do I waste my time (and yours) with crappy books like this? Well, Jodi Picoult is sort of a chick version of John Grisham, and I'm reading a non-fiction book of essays that isn't necessarily a page-turner right now, so I off-set that book with...
NO leaving the floor to write an email. NO writing the email at home, because you are paid by the hour. NO suggesting that a customer looking for the new John Grisham book "just reread the last one...aren't they basically all the same anyway?" NO featuring The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty on the...
