This is coming up a few days late. I've been absent from the blogging scene for the last week because I've been working like crazy during the day and obsessively watching the Olympics during prime-time. You'd think that just sitting in front of the tv watching sports would be a perfect opportunity to get a lot of reading/blogging done, but it's ( Read more... )

Ahh, June has come and gone. It's been a big month for me for two reasons: 1) I had my convocation ceremony and officially graduated (with cum laude! booyah) and 2) I got accepted into grad school!! I don't think I've mentioned it before, but if you look on my "About Me" page, I mention that I "hope to enroll in graduate studies in MLIS" -- looks ( Read more... )

May marked my first month of official summer vacation. Not having to worry about school was glorious and I was able to read completely guilt-free.

GUYS, April is over which means I AM DONE MY ENGLISH LIT UNDERGRAD FOREVER. And this month was stressful as all get-out. I had four final essays to write (one which literally had me in tears -- NEVER AGAIN) and two exams. You'd *think* that would keep me from reading a lot of books this month, but reading was the only thing that calmed me down and ( Read more... )

Wait, whaa? It's April?

The past month has felt super wonky for me because of school. It being the end of the year and everything (the end of my fourth year of university WHICH MEANS I'M GRADUATING HOLY CRAP) I have heaps of homework (which is why I've been so quiet as of late), which has been making time feel like it's going really fast because OMG ( Read more... )

Now that are extra day is over, time for the monthly round-up. :)

Despite February being a shorter month, I managed to read quite a bit (for me). The last week of February was my Reading Week which means I had a week off from school which is what allowed me to read so much (even though I really should have been doing homework. This past week has ( Read more... )

Guh, how is it February already!? Time is seriously flying by. I know it's not even half over yet, but I can see the end of my post-secondary career looming over the horizon and it terrifies me ( Read more... )

Eeehhh, this feels really late on account of being more than a week into January already. I have a really good excuse though! On Boxing Day, my whole dad's side of the family went to the Dominican Republic to celebrate my grandparents' 50th anniversary and we were gone for a week. I was internet-free for the week and while it was a relief in a way ( Read more... )

Wow, I'm getting to this a little late, huh? Ah well. November was a really crazy month for me because of school: lots of essays to write, lots of exams to study for, and lots of random assignments to finish on top of that. Reading-wise I did all right, considering. Here's what I got through:

1. The Gaslight Dogs by Karen Lowachee (review here)
2. ( Read more... )

Wow, I read A LOT of books this month (for me). I started reading short books at work which has contributed to this slightly (I finished two books at work this month: Withering Tights and The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian), and as I participated in Dewey's 24-hour read-a-thon, which added an extra three books that might have normally ( Read more... )
