Finally getting around to tweaking the straight off the camera photos I’ve posted a while back.
You know, instead of working on birthday stuff for Adrian.
Yep.
Adrian is such a book worm.
Today, we went for a 10 minute walk to pick something up for dinner, and he insisted on bringing his book along so he could read and walk at the same time.
I love it. I hope he never loses his love of books.

Any more? I’m sure I’m missing tons of those books I loved so much back then. I can’t wait to have story time before bedtime.
I think you got most of the ones I would have said. It makes me happy because I already have most of these, if not at my house, then at my moms.
Anything Robert Munsch (You have Love You Forever, but I’ve always preferred his funny stuff: Paperbag Princess, 50 Below Zero, I Have To Go!, etc)
Also, check out the Chester series, they’re not classics, but my kids find them hilarious.
22 pages in, and I’m certain this book is a Twilight clone
- First person POV of a klutzy, average-looking, not very confident girl.
- She’s never had a boyfriend.
- She is best friends with a tall, dark, muscular boy that blatantly wants to date her.
- Her mother is constantly picking up new hobbies and dropping them within a week, and the daughter worries about her now that she has moved out.
- AND the guy is young but ‘seems older than his years’, has piercing eyes, makes her babble like a fool, and (for some reason) is attracted to her.
This is going to be a painful read.

this is SO BAD
omg
as he rips through my virginity
Oh my god :l
Reblogging this again because it gives me hope that if this shit can be published then my shit can too. :D
I don’t know how I feel about this being a new hit book for it isn’t well written. I’m not a fan of the writing style either (speaking as it’s happening instead of in the past). But I’ll agree with the person above.
“rips through my virginity” - LOOOOOOOOOOOOL
I don’t know about you guys, but the funniest bit about this is “at the entrance of my sex”
I don’t know what to do with this hahahaha
She can say virginity, erection and crap but not vagina? Seriously. “Sex” is quite possibly the stupidest term ever.
Good God, I’ve read better fanfiction than this.
I’m already taking forever to get through the first chapter because I hate the POV/tense. But, this is the sex scene I’m supposed to be looking forward to? Ugh.

Today, after our trip to the pool, we dropped in to the library to do some reading. They had a book on the display shelf that I assumed was a book about tadpoles. I smirked and thought ‘heh, that tadpole looks like a sperm’. But then I looked closer and saw that it WAS a sperm.
The hell?
I’ve had this book a good 10 years now, and though I read it over and over when I first got it, I haven’t picked it up since I had kids. It’s weird reading it again after so long. Even if this is probably my 7th read-through (at least!), there is so much this go around that I see from a different light.
When I first read it, I was in my early teens. The characters in the book start out 26 years old, which seemed old at the time. Now I’m almost the same age, I relate to them differently.
Not only that, the book also takes place (in some spots) in Africa, with the wars in Uganda with Kony and the Rwandan Genocide. As a kid I had no idea what these were, and only vaguely understood those parts of the book. Reading it now, and knowing the backstory of those scenes and situations… It’s just a completely different experience.
I tried explaining this to my father, and to Nick, but they didn’t seem to understand what I was trying to say. Maybe I get too emotionally invested in my books.
That moment when you finish a book, look around, and realize that everyone is just carrying on with their lives as though you didn’t just experience emotional trauma at the hands of a paperback.

I left my Kindle at Nick’s father’s house on Sunday, so it’s back to an old favourite to help me to sleep this week.
Can we just have all of these?
The Bell Jar
I picked up this book, and finished it two days later. I let it sit on my mind for a bit, to see if my opinion would change about it, but it hasn’t.
In summary, I feel like it was a complete waste of time, and a pretty terrible book.
Maybe this is because I have seen so, so much praise for this book around here on tumblr. And I’ve heard some pretty quotes from it, that I thought were really good. Maybe that is why I feel like the book was such a disappointment. I went in expecting… I don’t know, a revelation or something. A work of art.
Instead, it broke down into this:

If a book is written in first-person perspective
I’m 900% more likely to find the protagonist annoying and whiny.
11:25 PM: I have finished Under The Dome
it was a great book, seriously. i really recommend it. if you’re like me and can’t put a book done until it is finished, make sure to set aside a day or two to read it though. it’s monstrous.
