Mondrei (drei is German for 3) Shawshank, December 21, 2020December 21, 2020 Who’s your favourite fictional couple? Wow, that’s either an easy answer, or a very difficult one. Depending on what you expect me to say. Heh. The easy one would be to say Bella and Edward. Or even Hermione and Ron. But that might be really too easy, amirite? So I’ll have to say Eric and Clio from The Raw Shark Texts. They have a great banter back and forth. You can almost feel the love come off the page. What’s a book you’d give as a present? Hmm. This is a hard one. There’s been so many great books that I’ve read this year. I’d have to say that I’d have no problem giving House of Leaves as a gift. Or even Ship of Theseus. My number one would definitely be House of Leaves. What was your least favourite book you’ve read this year? Simple! I really really did not like The Goldfinch. Totally unliveable characters, I won’t even mention the mess that the author called “the middle of the book”. I’m pretty sure I didn’t finish it because everyone in the book is a terrible person, and life is too short to waste time on a shitty book. Until next time, book nerds!

Lockup Library Books books, books (sung to the tune of Girls girls, girls) November 23, 2020 So today, with moms approval, I was allowed to move the “Romance Rack” – consisting of at least 80-90% of Nora Roberts complete library out of my room, and back into the living room, where they came from. The Romance Rack with all the dust catchers on it. I waited until my mom and grandmother… Read More
