Sarah Reads Too Much: Book Review: "Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda" by Becky Albertalli
http://www.sarahreadstoomuch.com/2015/07/book-review-simon-vs-homo-sapiens.html
Adult and Non-Fiction Reviews. Thursday, July 30, 2015. Book Review: "Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda" by Becky Albertalli. I loved loved loved this book! I love Simon, I love Blue, I love all of Simon's real friends, and I love his family. I love the humor, the cuteness, the overall tone. I just absolutely adored this book. I was reading this book on an airplane, and I was so engrossed that I didn't even realize that the plane had landed. I don't care - I'll say it again - I LOVED this book! RIP XI Ch...

Sarah Reads Too Much: Book Review: "Reality Chick" by Lauren Barnholdt
http://www.sarahreadstoomuch.com/2015/08/book-review-reality-chick-by-lauren.html
Adult and Non-Fiction Reviews. Monday, August 10, 2015. Book Review: "Reality Chick" by Lauren Barnholdt. So, this is a little awkward. I read Reality Chick. And when I was looking into the GoodReads. Page for the book - I see that it was republished in 2010 under the title Watch Me. So there's that little nugget to start this post off with a bang! I did like Barnholdt's writing though, and I'd like to see where she went with it so I'll likely check out something a bit more recent from her. RIP XI Challe...

The Terrible Desire: August 2014
http://theterribledesire.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 24, 2014. Alias Hook: Well, I didn't hate it. Fairy Tale Cleverly Retold is one of my favorite book flavors. And my first cartoon crush, aside from Robin Hood the (literal) fox, was Captain Hook. I like a man who wears a jaunty hat and creatively compensates for a crippling disability. But most important, he and I agree on one crucial point:. Peter Pan is an asshole. Because you drug them with pixie dust. Love, dammit), I couldn’t get my hands on it fast enough. I mean, they might.

The Terrible Desire: Villette-along Week 3: "A pink dress! I knew it not. It knew not me."
http://theterribledesire.blogspot.com/2015/03/villette-along-week-3-pink-dress-i-knew.html
Monday, March 16, 2015. Villette-along Week 3: "A pink dress! I knew it not. It knew not me.". After this week, I'm more certain that I love Lucy and moderately less certain that I love Dr. John, and a surprise dark horse has emerged in the competition for Lucy's heart. But Lucy. Allow me to briefly sing her praises. Sass, of course. Not everyone is cut out to care for children, let alone children with special needs, and that was not her job at the school. She got the responsibility by default becaus...

The Terrible Desire: Villette-along Week 5: "I never offer flowers to those I love."
http://theterribledesire.blogspot.com/2015/03/villette-along-week-5-i-never-offer.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Villette-along Week 5: "I never offer flowers to those I love.". M Paul is not a clear-cut romantic hero. That is to say, if CB tells us one good thing about him, she immediately balances it out with something negative. He tutors Lucy one-on-one and challenges her to stretch herself mentally because he believes in her intelligence even if she doesn't. (HURRAY! He's a jerk to her when her hard work pays off and she finally starts excelling in her studies. (BOO! You are well habitu...

The Terrible Desire: Mini Readathon: The readathon for people with reasonable expectations
http://theterribledesire.blogspot.com/2015/05/mini-readathon-readathon-for-people.html
Saturday, May 16, 2015. Mini Readathon: The readathon for people with reasonable expectations. I'm sitting here at my computer at 7:30 am on a Saturday before even visiting the coffee fountain, dispenser of all life. But that's the last unreasonable thing I'll do today, because the minithon. So what am I reading? I was listening to a Literary Disco. And he talked about how surprisingly adult the prose is and how strange it is to revisit the book as an adult. I have planned to read today, because having a...

The Terrible Desire: September 2014
http://theterribledesire.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 17, 2014. Landline: Take in combination with Greg Laswell song of the same name. Writer's orders. It’s no secret around these parts that I’m a fan of this Rainbow lady. Thanks to my continued association with people who have their fingers on the pulse of literature (pretty sure this all started with. But then of course it was. Who enthusiasm-ed Rainbow into being our friend), I got in on the ground floor with. And have since happily ridden the elevator up, first to. 8212; domesticall...

The Terrible Desire: January 2015
http://theterribledesire.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 11, 2015. The Humans: Every few years we have to convince some alien race that we deserve to live and also that our noses are nice. Oh, the burdens of humanity. Matt Haig retweets a lot of the nice things people say about his book (which you shouldn't do too. Often, authors, please keep in mind) and I suppose all that niceness wheedled its way into the book-choosing region of my brain. So it came to be that I was opening The Humans. Without knowing much of anything about it. This is what ...
