    #AtoZChallenge: Goodreads

    May 17, 2017 /

    I haven’t given a reading challenge update in a while, and since we’ve reached the seventh letter in my alphabetical #AtoZChallenge, G is for Goodreads.

    February Reading Challenge: Anna Karenina

    March 4, 2016 /

    My desire to get through this Leo Tolstoy creation is red hot; unfortunately my success with doing so is as non-existent as a flame in an outdoor fireplace buried under four feet of snow. I have tried reading this novel over and over and over again, and while I did get further this month than I have during previous attempts, I still could not get through the seven hundred and fifty four pages of this particular edition. Why oh why can I not get through it? Before talking about why my need to read this novel is so intense, I need to tell you that this Reading Challenge conclusion is…

    January Reading Challenge: The Goldfinch

    February 13, 2016 /

    Had the momentum of the first two sections of Donna Tartt’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel maintained its thrilling and quickness, my need to put it down and work on other tasks would not have been as frequent. Luckily for me, in chapter ten, the momentum seemed to spark back up and I hungrily floated on the words of The Goldfinch to complete it, albeit a week late. We follow Theo Decker, who is also our narrator, throughout his life. It’s not a smooth journey to say the least, and we are almost immediately met with unimaginable tragedy, or, he is. To say I could empathize with our narrator during this tragedy would be…

    RC2015 – November II: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

    November 30, 2015 /

    I had hoped not to be so terrible with posting during the last few days, but alas, Thanksgiving festivities kept me from my blog duties. Thankfully a new month is starting tomorrow, which means time will be spent scheduling, goal making, and organizing within the next few days. For now, here is the wrap-up of my November Reading Challenge. Mark Haddon’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a mystery written by fifteen year old Christopher, who, although not specifically noted in the text, has Asperger’s Syndrome. The events within the pages made it hard to put the novel down, although by the conclusion I was left feeling shortchanged, or perhaps “grasping…

    RC2015 – November I: Why Not Me?

    November 14, 2015 /

    Good afternoon readers. Yes, I have completed the first half of my November Reading Challenge, and I am quite happy about it. I sipped on a Cappuccino while I lazily sat reading this morning as I finished Why Not Me?, and no, not a Cappuccino from a quaint, cozy coffee shop; a delicious powdered mix spooned into a mug of hot water I heated in a kettle on my stove. It was bliss. This book was a little different than Mindy Kaling’s first, and rightfully so I suppose since she’s not caught in a time warp where she just writes the same life stories over and over again. It focuses more on…

    RC2015 – Halfway Through October

    October 14, 2015 /

    Hello readers and welcome to my halfway point update for the first month of my 2015 Reading Challenge. That sounds much more formal than it actually is, since I’m just going to tell you I have made it through about 1/3 of Yes Please, and other than the fact that I’m enjoying it, there’s not much more to report. Are you reading along with me? Are you reading something else? Leave an update on me, and like I have mentioned before, follow me on Goodreads to see what I’ve shelved, what else is on my currently-reading list, and books I’ve reviewed. And stop by in a couple of weeks as…
