Finished with book 16/50. I had intended to read a Madeline Warwick novel, but I decided that it was just not for me a few chapters in, and traded up. Last night, I finished Something Borrowed, by Emily Giffin. I was pleasantly surprised when I was, well... surprised! With most chick lit, the characters are all the same, and the ending is ( Read more... ) -

Book Challange Update:
Book 14 (Look Me In the Eyes) is finished, and it was great! I wrote a glowing review on Amazon, so I won't go into it here. But, I do think I'll be buying it for my mom and dad this Christmas.

Exhaustion has set in, but I have to admit that I'm having a pretty good week, considering it's exams time. Yesterday was awesome.

This weekend, I have to write this paper on single mothers on welfare, finish reading a few books, research and write my undergrad thesis, prepare to present it, study for ( Read more... ) -

The mad Christmas scramble has begun, and I'm already exhausted. The holidays are already hectic on their own, but with final exams and a sketchy work schedule piled on top, I usually want to curl up in a ball and wait for the snow to melt. Shifts at work are being flung around like pancakes. As soon as I find someone to cover one of mine, I end up ( Read more... ) -

50 Book Challange Update!
Books finished since the last tally include Joslin's Jane Addams, Ellison's Invisible Man (as of about 5 minutes ago), and Echols' Scars of Sweet Paradise.
If I'm not mistaken that bumps my count up to 13 books! I'm not very impressed, but at least I'm moving toward a solid goal. Over Christmas break, I plan on feeding on ( Read more... ) -

I've been looking into grad schools over the past few weeks, and I'm really interested in the dual-degree programs at Simmons, in Boston. They're pretty damn awesome. The two I'm most interested in are the MAT&Kiddie Lit program, and the Library Services & Kiddie Lit program. Each takes a few years.
I met with Professor Katherine Joslin (English ( Read more... )
