I re-read my favorite for #cbr10bingo Throwback Thursday, partly because it is still my favorite book, and party because I had just finished reading Heartstone, a fantasy version of P + P. I felt I needed to go back to the source.
Robert Langdon in Spain
I am a sucker for a good NY Times Bestseller by Dan Brown, particularly if the book involves Professor Robert Langdon. In “Origin,” the professor of symbology again finds himself in the center of a mess not of his own doing with twists and turns on every page. What made this book an especially fun read for me is that much of it takes place in Barcelona, the city I had just visited before I picked up the book. It was really fun to re-visit […]
Fantastical Pride and Prejudice
I have had this book on my TBR list for quite a while now. I don’t remember what drew me to buying it; I imagine that it was because it was fan fiction of one of my favorite Jane Austen novels, Pride and Prejudice. I don’t think I read the review though, or even the summary, because as much as I love JA, and am always up for giving some fan fiction a chance, a fantasy re-telling of the story would have been one step […]
45 in 140
One of the greatest books of all time! I laughed. I cried. I made my husband read it. I will be gifting a copy to everyone I know. Winter Solstice Holiday of Choice shopping done! I had no idea, but in 2017, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah opened up a museum near Trump Tower featuring a compilation of some of the 45th President’s most famous (read” notorious, peculiar, insane) tweets. Then in 2018, luckily for those of us who missed the exhibit or don’t […]
This read took no time at all
I admit that I only picked this up because I was looking for something to fit the “Not My Wheelhouse” category in #CBR10Bingo. I found it while searching my local library, having concluded that I would not typically read science fiction or graphic novels. So this seemed to fit the category twice over. I remember attempting to read this book when I was in high school, and hating it. I don’t think that I ever finished it. When Disney came out with a movie version […]
Sex Ed for the Elementary School Set
I decided to review this book because I needed something from the banned or challenged list (for #cbr10bingo), and was amazed (or not) to find this one on the list. I only recently read this with my 11 year old son, so thought a review might be helpful to other parents. I am admittedly not an expert on sex ed books for kids. But I decided to buy this book upon some recommendation or other from a trusted source. Ever prepared, I have had the […]
