The Book to Movie Reading Challenge is done! I read the following: I had a good time reading these books. They were a nice counterpoint the RIP II challenge, where I’d chosen to read some much larger tomes. My only slight regret is that two of my choices were books where I had not seen […]

Read for the Books to Movie Reading Challenge. Watership Down follows the journey of a few male rabbits from the warren where they were born, as they set out to found a new warren, following the lead of two brothers. I have to say, I’m not sure how it is that I haven’t read this

I just returned from a long weekend in Mass, having attended the seventh annual alternate Thanksgiving celebration held my a group of my college friends. I’m coasting down from an insane sugar high. (The pie-fest was perhaps not well timed, as I have my first physical with a new doctor on Tuesday, and my weight
Really excellent Booking Through Thursday question that feeds very well into why I’ve barely posted on my blog at all in November so far. Would you say that you read about the same amount now as when you were younger? More? Less? Why? I definitely don’t read as much as I used to. I have

My weekend started out with a lovely girl’s breakfast out with my mother, followed by a mutually enabling trip to some local craft stores. We checked out a little fabric place on the East End, where I found this great fabric: I’ve recently found out a good friend is pregnant with her second child, and
I think I’m starting to understand the near rabid devotion to sock knitting that I’ve been seeing out and about in my blog/podcast travels. I cast the above on last night, and actually worked on it until my eyes were starting to hurt. It was just so fun I didn’t want to put it down!

I finished my mobius scarf tonight! It was so wonderfully easy to make, fits perfectly, and is so warm! I admit to a certain disappointment about the color. It’s called moss, and was a little greener in the photos when I ordered it. I don’t dislike this color, but it doesn’t match either of my

I’d been considering this challenge when I ended up in my Amazon wishlist, and realized I could do it easily based on a few books I have kicking around here, and the contents of the kids/young adult section of my wishlist (yep, I do have my wishlist broken down by subject or genre, it’d be

I really need to stop reading chick lit with an expectation of great plot development or stunning new characterizations. I need to remember that the girls in these stories are supposed to have guy problems, even when they seem otherwise too intelligent to get themselves into that kind of situation multiple times. I also need

I’ve finished the R.I.P II challenge. I think it’s actually the third one I signed up for, but it’s the first one I’ve actually finished. I’m very glad I picked the tome version of the challenge, as it was a great excuse to read Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, and to dip my toes into
