This journal will now be (mostly) friends-locked
No fancy banner accompanying the announcement, but it gets the point across. Will still be making some posts public, so I ain't gonna be completely gone yet ;) -
2017 Books Read
Ahhh so my Books Read list is pitifully short this year. That is, unless you count all the fics I've read since April when I fell headlong into a new OTP and started trawling AO3 during my commute instead of reading real, proper books. Nonetheless, I managed to read the following in 2017 (with some re-reads from a class I took ( Read more... ) -
T + 8
I looked back through my entries recently, and my eyes landed on an elated post from 2008. President-elect Barack Obama ( Read more... ) -
2016 Books Read
I read a total of 37 books this year! Aside from a handful of free e-books and one free gift book, all others were sourced from the New York Public Library. I'd say about 80% were books I came across while browsing the stacks -- I found some real gems that way. And as you can see, I've discovered my local library's stash of Doctor Who novels *g ( Read more... ) -

Happy 10 Year LJ Anniversary to Me!
Ten years ago, I started this journal as a dumping ground for my reading notes. It evolved from there: I'm no longer in school, have gone through cycles of deluge and drought where writing is concerned, and now I use this LJ account primarily as a private journal ( Read more... ) -
Musings Based on Richard Rodriguez's Brown (and on Apple)
[I first got to know Richard Rodriguez's writng through his latest book, Darling, a spiritual autobiography. I fell in love with the way he writes-he sculpts words. Brown is another book of his. I was captivated by this passage when I read it this morning during my commute:]
Eve's apple, or what was left of it, quickly turned brown. ( Read more... ) -
Books I Read -- 2014
Just thought I'd keep a running tally of books I've read. I use "2014" loosely here, it's pretty much the time ranging from after my NUF graduation until now. Favorites are in bold.
Confessions, Saint Augustine
I decided to read this because it's a Classic, and yay free e-book. I'm totally bolding Book XI, the chapter where he waxes eloquent ( Read more... ) -
Does Anybody Still Read This? Oh hai, LJ!
Something compelled me to visit LJ today... so here I am. I've written over the past years in infrequent intervals, but it's pretty accurate to say that this journal is now a place where I post almost 100% private entries. But I'm meeting with paranoidsistah on Sunday and suddenly feel nostalgic about reconnecting with LJ and fandom friends. So, here's a very ( Read more... )
