I am remiss! + Booklog of Doom
Apr. 30th, 2007 10:59 amI have been terribly remiss! Some lovely anonymous person gifted me with two months paid LJ time, and I seemed to forget that squeeing about it to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
siriaeve and wychwood and thinking, "I should really post about this," does not equal actually posting about this. So anyway, thank you so much, anonymous person! It is truly appreciated and not especially deserved.
(If you want to comment anonymously with a fic prompt or anything, I will do my best to try to fulfill it. By...well, by 2008, possibly.)
Also, i haven't updated my booklog in a month. It was far from my best month (that moving thing really screwed me up) but still...brace yourselves.
Weeks 14, 15, 16, & 17: 2—29 April
( 85. Blood Lines — Tanya Huff ) But I'll count this one as far from my favorite of the series so far.
( 86. You Suck — Christopher Moore ) Also, I didn't like the ending. Suckage indeed.
( 87. Remembering Denny — Calvin Trillin ) A truly fascinating read.
( 88-90. Fruits Basket (Vol. 4-6) — Natsuki Takaya )cute fuzzy animals FTW?
( 91. Street of the Five Moons — Elizabeth Peters ) Sadly, I'm afraid this just isn't an author who works for me.
( 92. Juniper, Gentian, and Rosemary — Pamela Dean ) All in all, I prefer Tam Lin, which has more rewards for lesser levels of frustration.
( 93. The Stolen Child — Keith Donohue ) A first novel, and a really fascinating one.
( 94. Intuition — Allegra Goodman ) It even has a note-perfect ending.
( 95. Zodiac — Robert Graysmith ) In the end, neither is the best book or movie that could be made on the subject, but they're both very interesting in spots.
( 96. The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency — Alexander McCall Smith ) Smith is nothing if not addictive. More on that soon...
( 97. A Spot of Bother — Mark Haddon ) It may be a light comic novel, but it is a light comic novel that will freak you the fuck out.
( 98. Killing Yourself to Live — Chuck Klosterman ) if you're in even a slightly morbid mood, I really do recommend it.
( 99. The Terror — Dan Simmons ) In conclusion: this version of the Franklin Expedition? I don't want Ray and Fraser anywhere near it. Go back to having sex in a sleeping bag, boys.
( 100. Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs — Chuck Klosterman ) If you're looking for some essays on pop culture that may one second have you nodding along and the next hurling the book against the wall, well: this bad boy's for you.
( 101. 44 Scotland Street — Alexander McCall Smith ) So in general I found this book quite enjoyable, if frothy, and I'll be looking forward to reading the next volume (the semi-appropriately-titled Espresso Tales—Latte Tales might be more accurate) as soon as the library chooses to bestow it upon me.
Semi-relevant note: Apparently, Maupin is coming out with a seventh Tales of the City book in June! Goddammit. In spite of everything I just said, I'm going to have to read it, aren't I?
( 102. Shopaholic & Baby — Sophie Kinsella ) They belong to a part of my life that no longer exists (in which, for example, I also secretly owned an Avril Lavigne CD).
( 103. Portuguese Irregular Verbs — Alexander McCall Smith ) Craaaaaaaaack.
Total Books: 103
