Book club – The Fifty Year Sword

Posted on by Shawshank

Hello book nerds! The masses have spoken, and yesterday I started The Fifty Year Sword by Mark Z. Danielewski.

Let me tell you I’m throughly confused so far. In House of Leaves, there were only a few different stories to read at once. In Sword, from what I can tell, there’s 5 different “voices” – made plain by different coloured quotation marks. So while I know the “just” of the story, I’m only 23 pages in, and I really have no clue what’s going on!

And I know that I said that I’d talk about the first chapter, but I’m pretty sure that there’s no chapters in this book. But I think that I’m enjoying it!

If you change your mind
I’m the first in line

Sup bitches, it’s everyone’s favourite day – Monday. Today, I’m up with a mission: drive to BiggerTown, with my mom and gramma. Mom has to pick up the heavier stuff, like cat litter, and flour, etc. I’ll be leaving here in about two hours.

It’s a beautiful day out there. Looks like it’ll be a good day for a drive. I’m kind of looking forward to it, and getting out of the house for a few hours.

I slept like the dead last night. Thankfully. I was pretty tired last night, so when I got into my bed, I pretty much just melted into it and fell asleep right away.

Coffee is ready now, so I’m going to pop off and start to wake up. I hope y’all have a really good Monday. It’s pretty much the best day of the week. Have a kick ass day!

Book club – Choose your own adventure

Good morning book nerds! I said I’d post about which book to read next, and here it is! I’m posting early, in hopes that this post will get shared, and commented on. Tomorrow, I’ll post the results and I’ll talk about the first chapter of which ever book you guys and gals decide for me!

I think this will be fun, and I hope for maximum audience participation! So reshare, and comment my beautiful book nerds!

So without further adieu, I present the three books fighting to be read first. So here’s the deal. The book with the most votes, I’ll read first, next, second, and so forth. Fun!

So, vote early, vote often, just like in the US elections! I can’t wait to see what y’all decide! Until tomorrow, book nerds!

We’re thrashing hotels like it’s going out of style

I awoke with a fright at 5:47am. I could’ve sworn that some one was knocking on my door. So I get up, dressed and go to the back door. No one. Check the front. No one. Get undressed and climb back into bed. Fight to go back to sleep while trying not to relive the last time someone knocked on my door. Jump when the alarm goes off.

Happy Sunday everyone

Let’s hope the rest of the day is better than how it started.

I hope the coffee brews fast. But I can’t rush how fast it goes.

Today is chore day, before going over to Shady Acres for dinner. So that will keep me busy for about a half hour. My heart is still pumping fast. Ok, I’m gonna go now.

Book club: Plain Bad Heroines

Posted on by Shawshank

Hello book nerds! I feel so much better now that I’ve finally finished Plain Bad Heroines by Emily M. Danforth! It’s like some weight has been lifted off of me. I accomplished something the been literally months in the making.

It’s the journey, not the ending.

The ending was ok, it didn’t seem too rushed, like in the case of The Arctic Fury. But lemme tell you, that the last 15-20 pages felt like they just flew through my fingers.

This was a great book, it sucks you right in right from the beginning. I really liked it.

Tomorrow, dear book nerds, I’ll be posting an informal poll, to see which book I should read next. It’ll be easy – 3 books, and all you have to do is comment and tell me which one you want me to read first, second, and third.

Until tomorrow, nerds of the books!
