I go back to my roots

Second graphic book ever I’ve ever began is the Holocaust classic Maus. I’ve read two chapters so far and I think my heart is going to be bursting with sadness.

The cure for the evil

Sometimes the cure for any pain is a warm bath, solitude and a good book.

IT’S STILL WEDNESDAY!

#WHEREIAMWEDNESDAY

Sorry guys, I have been so stressed out in life and work lately I nearly forgot to do my own posting!

Currently reading:

  1. I would like to point out that Kearsley’s books especially this one are a bit what being on crack must feel like. I can’t seem to put down, 222211362. Reading this library book after watching the movie a few weeks back. Not sure if I love where my mind is going with this one but such is often the case with nonfiction involving war. 8664353Still to come:wpid-wp-1432135118947.jpegP.S I know I have been scant on reviews, but that’s what happens when silly me gets too many library loans in all at the same time and i have to pick and choose what to read and in what order.

Top Ten Tuesday!

As always, today’s Top Ten Tuesday comes courtesy of Broke and Bookish.

And without further adieu, books I’d love to see as movies! Please note that these are the lovely books that this insane mind loves so the views expressed in this list are entirely my own and I am proud of each of them 🙂 I also decided to go with seven instead of ten because it’s my favorite number!

  1. Pretty much anything by Susanna Kearsley, below is a good example! Just imagine Russian costumes!15942636
  2. Dresden Files! Again and actually successful this time! TheDresdenFiles2
  3. Mercy Thompson series, my new favorited series  20821263
  4. I desperately love anything having even remotely to do with reincarnation and though I don’t love everything Tracy Chevalier has ever written, The Virgin Blue remains one of my favorite books ever.2873
  5. People of the Book would make a fantastic one as well wpid-wp-1428385435580.jpeg
  6. Peony in Love remains my favorite Lisa See novel, it’s probably a bit too ethnic for a lot of people but it had just enough romance, magic and drama to suck me in. 24472
  7. Oh I read this one years ago but I LOVED IT. To my mind that grew up on Sherlock Holmes, a period thriller with a scientifically minded detective was and is irresistable. 40024
  8. BONUS!!! This is a book I think would make a fantastic board game. I was just at our local game store “(Games of Berkeley shoutout!) and thought that it would fit insanely well in the genre. codex-alera-jim-butcher

This post is coming to yall from my very new laptop!

55626011

Well ok, it’s new to me. My lovely fiance got himself a new toy a few weeks ago and I guess after hearing me complain about the difficulty of doing stuff on my tablet. Yes, I was blogging on my little bitchy tablet. It took me quite some time to realize that the issues I have been having with computing has been due to the fact that my little tablet just isn’t up for the task of gaming, socializing, spreadsheeting, blogging and Internet searching. I wanted to be able to have a computer that I could do all those things on and well, frankly, to feel the keys under my fingers again. And let me tell you, blogging on a tablet is hard. Adding in links, images, linking, etc, it’s so hard. And now I can.  So hopefully I will be coming to you way more often. 🙂
