kindle must die

Its winter: crystal's open for bizness, people are coughing in the streets, fireplaces roaring etc etc. Best time ever to cuddle and read. So grab nice paperback and get crackalackin. Because seriously, who wants to cuddle with a kindle?

Graceling – Read by Lindsey Wilson in a period of physical(and maybe emotional) brokenness. Oxycodone optional.

It was tweeny. Magical powers and big mountains. Angsty love only consummated post-blindness. Castles, swords, and really awesome fight scenes galore. But there were no vampires, so it sucked.

Beekeepers Apprentice - LW

Read it mo’fo. Cause it is kickass!! That’s.five.sentences.

Skippy Dies - SR

What do time travel, drugs, donuts and Catholic priests have in common? An integral role in Paul Murray's brilliantly dark novel of adolescent misadventure. Employing a rich tapestry of narrators- from students, to criminals, to parents, to teachers- Murray weaves a tale which successfully encapsulates the complexities and angst of adolescence. And, yes, the title character, Skippy, does indeed die.

The Lonely Polygamist - Father/daughter book/beer club part I

You know that Oscar winning movie you fell asleep watching that was really really "good"? It's a book like that. A seriously unenthralling, often unbelievable, completely unique character study.  Life lessons learned: don't play with bombs, don't get chewing gum stuck in your hair and don't fall for spanish speaking women. Total gyp.
