Nothing like a list to get motivated, right? Thanks to the wonder of social media sharing, I recently came across a meaty 2016 Reading Challenge list. The checklist items are broad – allowing individual users to choose their own books. <– Here’s

Stick a {Linch}pin In It

Seth Godin’s Linchpin followed in the narrative style of his previously published books like Tribes and The Dip. The blog-style, easily digestible chunks of information are quick and easy to work through, much like Godin’s blog posts. Herein lies the

Rosie Project

I received this ARC from Simon & Schuster via a GoodReads giveaway. Here’s Graeme Simsion’s website. — Here are my short notes for this book: “weird nice classic trope with twist” I will attempt to expound, but please let that

Marriage Bureau

Thanks for all who participated in the giveaway! Stay tuned for more. Three words: Uh. Dor. Uh. Bull. Ok, four. I got carried away. The Marriage Bureau for Rich People, by Farahad Zama and published in 2010, is the story

Mountains Echoed

So, I graduated from my Master’s program in May (woo hoo!) and extremely promptly went to work. I kinda’ hit the ground running which has meant all my “summer catch up” stuff got pushed off a bit until I settled

Three Cups of Tea

Three Cups of Tea (by Greg Mortenson) was the second book I “read” for the book club at work. I use sarcastic quotation marks for read because I used audiobook for this one. Audiobook took FOREVER, but I had good reasons for using

His Dark Materials

I was warned about His Dark Materials (by Phillip Pullman), that it was very anti-theist in general and anti-Christian in particular. I was not concerned. I’ve read these kinds of books before. However. Usually I do not finish books that

Bridget Jones’ Diary

I “read” Bridget Jones’s Diary (by Helen Fielding) after the extreme success “reading” HG2G. Some thoughts: Audio books are a great concept, but getting through them is so slow they make my brain bleed. The only way to remedy this

Twilight

(I had a quasi-apology right here when I first posted this but it’s GONE. I’m not sorry.) What is the deal with Twilight? I do not like the Twilight series. And don’t bother telling me to “give it a chance!” I have read

Hunger Games

I stuffed as many fun books into my schedule as I could over the break. Since the Hunger Games trailer looks effing incredible, I decided to read the series to prep myself. My gal-pal Ally told me she hated the ending of
