and it was clear that this bitch considered me to be one step away from starring in my own loser reality show. Screw her. I was at least two steps away.

I'm so glad I purchased this book on my kobo and now it won't open #sarcasm .... suggestions for a second Q anyone?

Can I read a novel I like now, please?? This is the third one in a row that's .... meh.

I am REALLY fricking annoyed at the Couch in this story so far.... he seems to be a complete pratt.

I just found Athena effect #1 for free on my kobo!! This makes me giddy with excitement! ( so I turned around a bought derrolyn's new one ( after last call, I think) because I want to support this rad lady but ..... eeeee, I love free :) and I never find the books I want free through kobo store.

In a moment, when I ask you to be very, very still, we're each going to ask God to lay three people on our heart



I will likely go into detail of the three people whose hearts I have been lain on in my review, and why this concept makes every fiber of my being revolt.

.... the verdict is still out for me, this book is definitely not something I would normally pick up BUT I is interesting.

That moment when a one star review about a book I will never read (because imbecile) has almost 4 times the amount of likes any of my other reviews (ones I have put thought and time into) have ever received...

This book and I are likely going to have some problems.... Charmaine's dad reminds me, in a not-so-awesome way, of my Uncle. :/.... I have already rolled my eyes several times and cursed a couple times.

[...] Hana now received this tender art, his nails against the million cells of her skin, in his tent, in 1945, where their continents met in a hill town.

There are some truly beautiful moments in this story, however, unless Ondaatje pulls some very fancy footwork in the last leg of this book, it will likely not be enough to overshadow the more frequent moments of utter blandness.

So, I have to admit that I quite like Kip (the bomb deactivating scenes are so interesting) BUT I'm not sure I get the overall story....

She entered the story knowing she would emerge from it feeling she had been immersed in the lives of others, in plots that stretched back twenty years, her body full of sentences and moments, as if awaking from sleep with a heaviness caused by unremembered dreams p.12



Not bad...

So, that's that then. In case we needed any further reminding, we're really on our own. Really and truly.

She was so young, she thought that to feel love meant it must returned. My heart went out to her.

Moments of potential masked my massive amounts of boredom....

..... I don't think I'm going to enjoy this book. It appears to be a book written about a man writing about a man writing a book.

I have just done a purge of my friends list, removing those who never interact with me, and although I believe I have been generous about it IF I have deleted YOU in error and you wish to still be my friend you may add me back. I like to be social, guys, so if you just want to read my reviews and not talk to me (totally fine).... please just follow me.

Reason #1,000,786 to punch Sookie in the head:

What is your obsession with referring to Alcide as a "real" man.... are the rest of the men you know invisible? Secretly women? Fake, somehow?

Pick a different word, here have some suggestions:
Earthy, rugged, hard-edged, intimidating..... not "real" GAH!

Well that was horrific but I can't say I'm surprised.

I am so bloody tired of MCs who ALL.THE.PEOPE.WANT..... this is NOT reality!! This doesn't happen..... there is a thing called taste, someone has to have some!

This world:



That bowl and spoon scene O_O.... *died*

This would be me in this apocalyptic world:

.... to be clear.

There was sure to be a flaw in her brother somewhere - maybe Alcide came to the supper table in his underwear, or picked his nose in public.



Oh man, I would be so upset if this guy came to my table mostly naked...... NOT!

Come here, Sookie :).... I have a present for you:

How can she expect her children to dream as big as the stars if they can't lift their heads to gaze upon them?

I'm over the moon with Malerman's writing style!

I must apologize for being behind on my reviews lately.... these last couple of week have been very me and I want to be able to review properly. Hopefully my body quits being a jerk soon.

For now, here is an AL gif because he makes me smile & I have not been smiling enough lately.

"By golly, he might do it," Cheswick mutters. [...]
"More likely he'll acquire a beautiful hernia," Harling says.

*snorts*

I adore this cast of wackos so much!!

They don't bother not talking out loud about their hate secrets when I'm nearby because they think I'm deaf and dumb. Everybody thinks so. I'm cagey enough to fool them that much.

I know The Chief is going to be an unreliable narrator BUT I do believe I already like Kesey's writing style.

Less than 100 pages to go!! I'm in the homestretch, guys! Also:



THIS FUCKING BOOK!
