8220;You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” -C.S. Lewis. Tuesday, January 13, 2015. State of the TBR. One of my goals for the year is to reduce my TBR (to be read) pile from two and a half shelves down to one. This bookcase is now supposed to house all of the dissertation books that don't live in my office, and space is already getting cramped - and I'm only one month into the project! And Crime and Punishment. The only book I own that comes in a box! The third and...

Oh, Marie Brennan's book was so, so close to making my list of the best of the year. Victorian gentlewoman goes off adventuring for scientific study of dragons? But Oh, how I wish there weren't a but! I'm definitely going to read the next two in the series, and hopefully they get a bit better. Hopefully Isabella learns a bit about privilege and oppr...

8220;You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” -C.S. Lewis. I have fond memories of reading. I Capture the Castle. While overseeing orchestra rehearsals, and slowly but joyfully struggling through chapters of. While huddled under the covers in my very cold St. Louis apartment that winter. I'd finish. In January, and it would kick off my newfound love of classics and eventually lead to the start of this blog. Favorite books of the year. From my personal collection.

A Musical Feast: Shadows on the Moon

8220;You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” -C.S. Lewis. Friday, July 24, 2015. Shadows on the Moon. Zoe Marriott's Shadows on the Moon. Isn't just Cinderella set in Japan, but Cinderella as you've never seen her before. I could say the same thing about Malinda Lo's Ash. And actually, they end in a similar fashion (though Ash. S ending is more subversive). It's not the ending, though, that sets Marriott's retelling apart; it's Cinderella's agency. Harry, A History.

HEAVY WORDS LIGHTLY THROWN: THE REASON BEHIND THE RHYME. July 31, 2015. What is it about this book? Is it the dated, cynical, wink wink nudge nudge witticisms the author throws around like your drunk uncle at the family reunion? Is it the essentially banal content based on speculation, word association, and dazzlingly wide leaps of logic? Roberts, Chris&#...

With The Legend of Luke. The Legend of Luke. Jacques really disappointed me because so much pain and death in this book was unnecessary and due only to a lust for revenge, and Luke's actions were glamorized without any questioning of their repercussions or his motives.

8220;You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” -C.S. Lewis. Wednesday, December 31, 2014. How does one measure a year? In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee.) I sometimes feel as if my life is measured in cups of tea, concerts and services sung, and books read. This year was marked by all these things - sometimes in a big way - and by some pretty spectacular additional landmarks. Countless. Great tea, awful tea, and about a bajillion cups of Tw...
