CBR10Bingo: So Popular One of my favorite bookstores in the world is Provincetown Books, a tiny space in the center of town, right next to Adams Pharmacy. The owner’s selection is very much my taste, and she always seems to have just what I’m looking for at the moment. This summer, I was on a mission to fill out a few more CBR10Bingo squares, and Emily St. John Mandel’s Station Eleven was at the top of my list. Of course she had it in stock. […]
CBR Bingo: Fahrenheit 451
I’ve been meaning to reread To Kill a Mockingbird for a couple years now; CBR Bingo’s Fahrenheit 451 category was the perfect excuse to finally get around to rereading Harper Lee’s classic. According to the American Library Association To Kill a Mockingbird, which was first published in 1960, was the seventh most banned book in 2017. Most of the bans against Mockingbird come from its use of profanity and racial slurs as well as the adult themes of rape and incest but I think sometimes the most important books are […]
CBRBingo: Two Heads are Better than One
Everyone welcome back BadKittyUno! For CBR Bingo’s Two Heads are Better than One square I dragged my darling sister out of retirement to help me write my review of The Autobiography of Gucci Mane (which, for all his clever album titles, is the most pedestrian title for an autobiography possible). We have no idea how to write a review together so please enjoy this semi-coherent arrangements of thoughts we had while reading. CD: Gucci Mane looks exactly how someone named Gucci Mane should look. BKU: That’s exactly […]
HOW in the world is a book about ROADKILL actually so FREAKIN’ (only I didn’t say freakin’) funny?????
This is my chosen for its cover book. At first, I thought it was a dancing dinosaur. I then wondered why the dinosaur was tip-toeing across the road. I then read the title. Oooo-kay. This is going to be. Interesting. Hopefully. I was afraid it was going to be very dull and academic. It is not. The author makes sure you are right there along for the journey. She presents her story just as that, a story. The facts are there, but you might be […]
A life had been ruined. What was it for: just some social media drama?
CBR10Bingo – Not My Wheelhouse I don’t tend to read the kind of books that make-up or spawn from NPR and This American Life stories. I will admit: I don’t particularly like David Sedaris. Anyway, this book I picked up because I want to do a unit of media literacy, choices, and online futures with my English 12 students, and I was hoping at least one chapter of this would be useful to share with them. For the most part the book isn’t great […]
Even in the most insignificant details of our daily life, none of us can be said to constitute a material whole
CBR10Bingo – So Delicious! Oh, I think this completes my first entry for the Bingo. So, Bingo! Swann’s Way is the fist volume of In Search of Lost Time, Marcel Proust’s seven-volume series of novels based and not based on his early life. I will likely continue reading the series, but with some breaks in between because this book was so sleepy and warm and cozy, that to keep reading would be to lull myself into losing track of the threads within. I was […]
