I’ve been coloring while re-reading A Little Life. It keeps me going, even when the pages keep getting darker. I’ve missed coloring, it’s been something to help keep my hands busy. (I know I’ve been writing waay too much about my reading experience with A Little Life, but I seriously can’t stop obsessing over it.)Continue reading “On Coloring & Listening”
She’s Baaack!
Dessa’s Chime Dessa’s is back in business! Her singing is as powerful as ever; her raps are as crisp as a freshly printed piece of paper. She’s one of my favorite female rappers: strong, fierce, and unafraid to be honest. She’s part of the sick indie group known as Doomtree. I know those of youContinue reading “She’s Baaack!”
A Song of Ice and Fire: A Game of Thrones
George R.R. Martin’s epic fantasy novels begin in this amazing book. For anyone who has watched the show, I highly recommend reading the books. They are truly engrossing, fascinating in what they are accomplishing, and chock full of characters that I love from each house. (There are also characters that I hate with a burningContinue reading “A Song of Ice and Fire: A Game of Thrones”
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic fantasy novel comes to life within the pages of the trilogy’s first installment. I couldn’t help but think of the film as I read, becoming more engrossed as the novel progressed. The narrator for these novels has a beautiful, rich singing voice, one that is necessary when reading Tolkien. Filled with poemsContinue reading “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring”
#weekendcoffeeshare March 29th – 31st
Hello, again! If we were having coffee, I’d probably be sipping a Keurig concoction, one that involves cream. This weekend, I worked, relaxed at home, and finished Orange is the New Black: My Year in a Women’s Prison. Let’s recap this weekend, shall we?
Orange is the New Black: My Year in a Women’s Prison
Orange is the New Black is much more interesting as a TV show. The real memoir, written by one Piper Kerman–Piper Chapman in the show–has one of the most privileged, boring experiences in prison.
Queer Eye
I love this show. Rejuvenating the original Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, the new Fab 5 are a vibrant group of guys who help turn around the lives of men and women. This updated version of the show is heartfelt, funny, and really uplifting. (I’ve only seen a little bit of the old show,Continue reading “Queer Eye”
#weekendcoffeeshare March 22 – 24
Good morning! Welcome to my latest March #weekendcoffeeshare. If we were having coffee, I’d choose an Apple Spice from Starbucks. (I keep botching the name, but the girls at work know what I’m talking about.) It’s like drinking apple cider in the fall. It’s delicious! Because of my work schedule, I have untraditional weekends. IContinue reading “#weekendcoffeeshare March 22 – 24”
A Little Life
I’m re-reading A Little Life, because I love the characters, and Oliver Wyman brings their voices to life. Rereading A Little Life isn’t as difficult for me as it was the first time. The first time, I was too close to the characters and their plight–especially Jude–and couldn’t take a step back and enjoy the story.Continue reading “A Little Life”
Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness
I had been in the hospital for eighteen days, and not only wasn’t I any closer to a cure, I wasn’t but my condition seemed to be heading steadily downhill. p. 121, Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness by Susannah Cahalan Susannah Cahalan’s memoir is electrifying. Written with the help of medical journals, theContinue reading “Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness”
