| I did not like this book and finished it out of curiosity to see whether the author could redeem the main character in my eyes. Unfortunately, the answer was no. From beginning to end, Jane Start centers all her thoughts and actions around various me ...more | |

| Still baffled as to what this book was trying to be. There's some paranormal stuff, some religious musing, romance, some environmental activism, and yet none of it really seems to jive together in a cohesive way for me. ...more | |
“In this sense, Rachel envied fictional characters. For them, everything would eventually make sense. If she were fictional, all the random, ridiculous events of her life would mold into a recognizable shape, building toward something. She would recognize signs, portents, and foreshadowing. In real life, however, no such clues were forthcoming.”

But mainly, so very, very stupid. I desperately want to grow old.”

I'll be interested for your input on the post I've written for the blog. It's going up tomorrow and focuses on the money side of how you can afford to read a lot.
Sooo.... I found a benefit to being homebound with illness for ALL of 2015. (drumroll) My goal is to read 365 books, and hit 100,000 pages! lol... I discovered in August that I was about 5 books behind the numerical day of the year, so I've been working toward that goal. This month, I realized I was at 79,000 pages, so that's my secondary goal. Having a blast! Of course, I would be fine with a miraculous recovery, too... but while I'm down, I might as well stretch my horizons, right?!
