Day 06 – Favorite book of your favorite series OR your favorite book of all time I… cannot even answer this. Even a little. This meme was not designed for someone like me. Look. I’m really not into book monogamy. You ask me a question like this and my mind just starts… spinning wildly, throwing [...]
Day 05 – A book or series you hate Aw man, book hate. Generally, when I pick up a book and dislike it, I just put it back down. I’ve only ever flung one book, and it was a really awful romance novel complete with abusive, stalker-y male love interest and completely awful heroine. I [...]
Day 04 – Your favorite book or series ever I don’t think I can answer this. This is… not quite as traumatic or difficult as picking a favorite child or parent, but… hard. I mean, I keep thinking of both books and series and think “Oh, this one. Except for this one. But then there’s [...]
It’s been like a million years since I last did an “Awesome Damn Comic of the Week” bit, so I really want to thank Garland Grey of Tiger Beat Down for bringing Riot Nrrd to light. Oh. My. God. I basically fell in love with this comic like 2 or 3 comics in. The art [...]
Day 03 – The best book you’ve read in the last 12 months I really hate questions like this, because I’ve read several good books in the past 12 months and really can’t select one outstanding book from all of them. So instead, I’m going to go with the best book I’ve read in the [...]
Day 02 – A book or series you wish more people were reading and talking about I’m going to winnow this down to one, specific book that I wish more people were reading, although I have kind of a list going on. In The Forest Of Forgetting by Theodora Goss is a collection of short [...]
Day 01 – A book series you wish had gone on longer OR a book series you wish would just freaking end already (or both!) If a book series goes on too long I just kind of stop reading it. I think most people I know who’ve done this meme have mentioned The Wheel of [...]
There’s a book meme going around that I’m going to start doing tomorrow. Here are the questions if you would like to follow along. Day 01 – A book series you wish had gone on longer OR a book series you wish would just freaking end already (or both!) Day 02 – A book or [...]
I took a walk today thinking that going out into the fresh air would be much cooler and nicer than staying in the apartment. I was wrong. It kind of felt like someone was following me around with a blow dryer or a very large panting dog or something. Hot, humid, blowing on me. Not [...]
I’m doing passenger counts this weekend, and today we were on the South Chicago train. It was pretty uneventful in all. Our final trip inbound, there was a wedding party (bridge, groom, bridesmaids, I didn’t see any groomsmen but they were probably there) on the platform at 47th street, taking photos. We pulled in, people [...]
