Ahahahaha! I did it! I hit fifty books before July was even over! BOOYAH!
So...what do I win?
Anyway, We Thought You Would Be Prettier was another Laurie Notaro book; I just can't get enough of her. XD This collection doesn't have much of a theme (like Autobiography of a Fat Bride) but there are some really spectacular ones about her neighbors and her husband. These books are great to have on hand when having a bad day or feeling a little down; open them up and read a story or two (they're all nice and short) and I realize that as long as some stoner chick doesn't find a maxi pad stuck to a toothbrush in my purse and start waving it like a flag in a high school choir class, my day has not really been that bad.
Total book count: 50/75 - 66.7%
Total page count: 15161/22500 - 67.4%
Up next: I am totally slacking off on A Fire Upon the Deep. I need to get back on that before I forget what happened in the first hundred pages. And maybe Manga Takeout will send me the final volume of Yurara. Other than that, I think the next one I start will be either Rebel Angels or The Magician. Maybe.
laurie notaro,
