MY FAVORITE TOP TEN TUESDAY!

I love love love this meme and I almost forgot to do it! This Tuesday it’s top ten books on my spring TBR list as hosted by the fabulous Broke and Bookish!

These are just books new to me, not necessarily new to being born on paper and/or electronic devices!

This along with Kabbalah has always held my interest!

1.

Hoping to read this one with my non-book reader boyfriend!

2. 3.

Gotta keeping going!

4.

Because it comes highly recommended.

5.

Because come on! I have to!

6.

Because my mom is one.

7.

At this point, because I’ve had the book for over a month and I don’t want the library to have it back! (JK)

8.

Because Jane Eyre!!!!!

9.

Because she is one of my favorite authors and how can I not?

10.

Part of my continuous quest about learning where my genetic roots lie.

Nerd it up with “Game of Thrones Season 5: A Day in the Life”

Just had to share my bit of nerdiness this evening. We finally watched this documentary on GoT and oh my God the gorgeousness. Ireland, Spain, Croatia. My eyes are full of your timeless beauty and history at every corner. I love, love the series. April couldn’t come soon enough.

Becoming illuminated

Surprisingly i am greatly enjoying reading Everything is Illuminated this time around. The multi stranded narrative is actually capturing my attention more and seems much easier to follow. I don’t know what’s different this time around. Am I different? Am I simply more open to magically threaded story telling side by side with standard narrative? Am I just having more fun? Or maybe I matured as a reader, had more experience with fantastical writing and thusly became more open to a mixture of styles and narratives. I almost feel like I am catching more in the story than I did on my first few reads, getting the symbolism and parallels more. I certainly hear the voices of the characters in my mind when I read, except of course they are the voices from the movie. 😀

How I feel about picking the next book

Lord, why is it so deliciously difficult to pick the next candidate? I want to do contemporary fiction but there are so many….others…calling me…out!

It is done!!

I have finally finished Exodus! Gosh it took me more than two weeks too! So many thoughts bouncing around in my head right now. Taking a second spin in Deborah Feldman’s world has probably given me more questions than I will be giving you guys answers. So stay tuned, the promised land is out soon!
