That is totally fair. I'm not sure the scheduling will work for anyone, but I did want to put it out there, because it would be a tremendous amount of fun. I haven't seen that movie in forever.
I feel like I have read all the books this week and finished nothing, which is totally not true. But at various points this week I was reading Howards End by E.M. Forster and The Wilder Life by Wendy McClure and The Young Unicorns by Madeleine L'Engle and yesterday Counterfeit Magic by Kelley Armstrong and also the book for this month. I like to book juggle, but that was ridiculous
( ... )
Haha, yeah, my book juggling got out of control this week, too. I think I'm actively in the middle of four, plus there are three that I've put down for a while that I really would like to get back to at some point! Trying to convince myself to finish at least SOME of those before starting anything else. :D
Huh, The Young Unicorns was in 1968 and A Severed Wasp wasn't until 1982.
Hee, I finished The Young Unicorns this morning, so that's one less. Although that means that A Ring of Endless Light is going to be my bedtime book, so it doesn't actually mean one less.
INTERESTING. I'm not saying she was always planning it, but the set up is definitely there, at least from Suzy's POV.
LOL. I should probably sit down and make myself finish something, but I don't seem to like anything quite well enough to give it that kind of focus. So I guess I'll continue switching things off.
Or maybe it was even one of those where it wasn't intentional, but she went back and saw all the set up, so went in that direction?
I finished a terrible book this week! I had been sort of reading it since July but took a break when I reached the middle point. But since I had bought it and I'm weird, I was unable to just drop it. So I soldiered through. It did not get better. What's weird is that everywhere the reviews are fantastic - on goodreads, in more official places, and it won prizes and everything. I think I didn't get something. Anyway. Don't read Le ciel de Bay City if it gets translated.
Now I'm reading the 8th book in a YA series I just adore, Le journal d'Aurélie Laflamme. It's the last one so I'm trying to make it last, but it's hard!
Otherwise I don't know what I'll pick up next - a lot of the books I own seem interesting but I feel like they're all first books in a series that I don't own, and I (weirdly) don't feel like buying books right now - I just want to read things that will actually empty my to-read shelf. I have Uglies, Bitten, Life As We Knew It, His Majesty's Dragon, Meg Cabot's The Mediator & Divergent, all in the same situation!
I will, I will! Plus the next book isn't out yet, so I won't feel like I need to buy it, haha. It's in my top-5 of to-reads! (I think. It's a very complex system.)
Oooh, oooh, I've been reading back entries on Stephanie Perkins blog and she has one here about the specifics of Anna and the French Kiss's publication process, from getting the idea onward. I really loved getting to hear about how it worked for a book I loved from the author's perspective.
I read Paranormalcy and Supernaturally by Kiersten White this week and enjoyed them! They kind of had a Meg Cabot vibe to me? I don't know if that's just me.
Some year I really do want to give NaNo a solid try, I just feel like I'm always distracted by other things that time of year. Like, I go out of town for Thanksgiving and I'm writing Christmas exchange fic and it's just a really shitty month for it. But I still like my idea of a YA romance at and around a fast food restaurant, so maybe I'll try after all.

Lol, sorry, that wasn't all that helpful. But really, you should.

And Bitten and Life As We Knew It both stand fairly well on their own? So you might be able to read them without needing to buy the next right away.

Though I'm working on something else right now, so the timing might not be right.
