:: There's more than FanFic out there: In the past I've read (or tried to read) a couple of Oprah's Book Club selections. When I saw her new choice of "A Tale Of Two Cities" & "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens, I figured it was another good opportunity to broaden my classic literature horizons. I picked up the book (the 2 are paired together ( Read more... )

Even though I'm still working on the "Singin' In The Rain" book from the library, I decided "Why not read some of the books I have here around the house?" Many of them I tried to read years ago and never got through for one reason or another. Time has passed and I might feel differently about them now ( Read more... )

I'm taking a stab at watching more movies & reading more books this year, so I thought I'd start a list to track my viewings/readings and give brief reviews.

Plus, there's the added intrigue of the one being the title of a SPN ( Read more... )

Day 13: A fictional bookUm...I really don't read fictional books anymore. I tried to read "The Adventures Of Huck Finn" earlier this year, but then prepping for VanCon picked up and I never got back to it. However, reading Huck was a plan I had to read a bunch of classics to expand my literary knowledge and I might give it another try next year ( Read more... )

:: I have to learn to go to bed early. Really. This staying up late, getting up late....so not working for me. I didn't get up until 4 p.m. today. *facepalm ( Read more... )

:: Bought the book of "Supernatural: John Winchester's Journal" by Alex Arvine last night. I've started reading it already and read a bunch of the cool passages about Dean and Sam. It's neat reading and matches up well with what we already know from the show. Loved reading about how Dean slept in baby Sammy's crib to keep him safe right away after ( Read more... )
