Top 5 Wednesday: I Want YOU to be in My Family
This Top 5 Wednesday I am going to be talking about the characters from books that I would love to have as family. Let’s get started! 1. Hermione from Harry Potter I always wanted an older sister that I could learn from, admire, and steal clothes from, and I feel like Hermione would be perfect. She’s so knowledgable but also has an emotional range larger than a teaspoon, so she could be there for me to help with books and studying as well as teaching me about love and life. 2. Sherlock Holmes I’d love to have Holmes as an uncle. I think Holmes deductive reasoning skills are just astounding and I…
Top 10 Tuesday: TV Shows
Top 10 Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in 2010. It combines what I love most in this world into one—lists, books, and blogging. It couldn’t be any better suited for me! This week I am actually straying away from books and talking about my top 10 favorite TV shows. To be honest with you guys, I don’t watch a lot of live TV since I don’t really have the time, but I love watching TV shows on Netflix while I’m at the gym or if I’m having a lazy Saturday night in. Let’s get started! 1. Grey’s Anatomy Unfortunately, I haven’t been watching this live (and I…
Treasure Tuesday
1. I am currently listening to the audiobook version of “Illuminae,” and so far I am loving it so much more than the actual book. 2. Find out what new book you should read this fall with this Buzzfeed quiz. I got “The Underground Railroad” by Colson Whitehead. 3. 4. This is my second week of classes, and I’m already swamped with homework, extra-curriculars, and internship stuff. How is school going for you? Happy reading, Kimberly
Top 5 Wednesday: Books I Will Never Read
There is rarely a book I will never read, but this week I’m talking about the books that I don’t really have a desire to pick up right this second. You know the books — maybe they are over-hyped or maybe they are just not your cup of tea right now, but you really don’t care about them. Let’s get started. 1. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne, and John Tiffany I’m sure there were gasps heard round the world at that one. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a HUGE Harry Potter fan — I’m a true Harry Potter fan. I’m not satisfied with Harry Potter…
Top 10 Tuesday: Books I Read in School
Top 10 Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in 2010. It combines what I love most in this world into one—lists, books, and blogging. It couldn’t be any better suited for me! Since school has started/is starting (today’s my first last day of school ever), this week I’m going to be talking about my favorite books I read in school. This is going to range from elementary school all the way through college. Let’s get started! 1. The Boxcar Children by Gertrude Warner These were some of the first books I remember reading in my reading groups in first grade. I would check them out in batches of five…
Treasure Tuesday
1. I am currently still reading the Chronicles of Narnia (but I’m already on book five). 2. I started my senior year of college today. I feel extremely old, and I’m not ready to talk about it. 3. 4. Being home for a week was so great. I got to cuddle with my puppy, lay by the beach, and read a ton. 5. This sea otter is absolutely adorable. Happy reading, Kimberly
The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P.: A Review
Title: The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P. Author: Adelle Waldman Genre: Fiction Quotation: “Dating is probably the most fraught human interaction there is.” Would recommend to: anyone dealing with a break-up looking for perspective. “I feel like you want to think what you’re feeling is really deep, like some seriously profound existential shit. But to me, it looks like the most tired, the most average thing in the world, the guy who is all interested in a woman until the very moment when it dawns on him that he has her. Wanting only what you can’t have. The affliction of shallow morons everywhere.” If you want a summation of The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P. by…
Top 5 Wednesday: Books to Read This Year
This week’s Top 5 Wednesday is all about the books I want to finish before the end of the year. Let’s get started! 1. One Thousand and One Nights I read selections from this series of tales in my class in January and loved every bit of it. I’d love to pick up a copy and read it from cover to cover. 2. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis I’m currently plugging through the series and will be happy to say that I’ve definitely finished this book before the end of 2016. 3. The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd I bought this for my grandmother…
