Obviously, not a lot of blogging is getting done. I am reading a lot though, mostly because I am reading to avoid spending time on set texts for my class. How will this affect my final essay? Who can tell.
I have almost finished Sloane Crosley's latest collection of essays, How Did You Get This Number. I love good writing about the mundane (or not-so-mundane - I guess not everybody has run over a bear in a car full of bridesmaids) bits and pieces of everyday life. Imagine a younger, midwestern-but-now-New-Yorker, female David Sedaris. Anyone who uses the phrase "I was going to get the shit smote out of me" is fine by me.
I have been struggling my way through this, for class:
so have failed utterly to have any interesting book/blog related thoughts. I'm disappointed in myself for not enjoying this more - for some (obviously unfounded) reason, I thought James would be my cup of tea. Perhaps it will all become clear at the end?
I had to have a brief mental-palate-cleansing read, so I went for this:
the eighth and final book in Sara Shepard's unapologetically trashy and fabulous Pretty Little Liars series. Henry would be rolling in his grave, but I have no regrets (and now I FINALLY know who killed Ali - YAY)!
