Bringing Out the Dead. 53 Books in 52 Weeks →. December 28, 2014 · 11:10 pm. A year in books: my 52 book challenge. In 2013 I gave myself a 50 book challenge. Which I completed. It was hard. I found myself finishing up pretty close to the end of last December, stressed that I wouldn’t make the December 31st cutoff. I did, and in a moment of cockiness and euphoria after crushing my goal, decided to push myself further this year by committing to two more books in 2014. How did I do it? Kind of like this:.

Six more down | Always a Critic

Three for me, three for the kid. Bringing Out the Dead →. August 18, 2014 · 8:59 pm. Well, hasn’t time flown by! I’ve not stopped reading, but some of the books I’ve read recently have made me want to give it up completely. Here’s a rundown on the latest. Let’s start with Bittersweet. 8230; The Divorce Papers. Is stuck on a high profile divorce case because the wronged wife likes her spunk. Of course, she isn’t cut out for the job at all, but then…of course she is! And this was similar in that it was fil...

Box Boat. Boom. Bust. Six more down →. June 29, 2014 · 10:58 am. Three for me, three for the kid. I’m 52% through my 2014 book challenge, and apparently two books ahead of schedule with 27 out of 52 books read. Not bad, but there are no room for dry duds to pop up and slow me down. I’ve read three books since my last post: one good, one meh and one great. The good was Plan B. The first book of his I read) is going to be a movie. Soon with Tina Fey and Jason Bateman, so there’s that. Clocking in at around...

A Year in 50 Books | Always a Critic
https://alwaysacritic.wordpress.com/2013/12/31/a-year-in-50-books
The bar has been set →. December 31, 2013 · 2:40 pm. A Year in 50 Books. Um…so this is awkward. This poor blog has been so untended and uncared for over the last few years it looks like an online version of Grey Gardens. Apologies if you find racoons nibbling on or pigeons roosting in previous posts. That out of the way, this blog post is devoted to one of my passions of 2013 – reading 50 books in one year. A coworker (hey, Jenna! I have the TTC and its record of terrible service to thank for getting thr...

A year in books: my 52 book challenge →. September 15, 2014 · 10:58 pm. Bringing Out the Dead. It’s easy to find patterns if you look for them, especially in literature. Well, I didn’t have to look too hard to find patterns in the last three books I finished. Spoiler alert: each of the books dealt with the dead or the dying, specifically dead stripper, dead girlfriend, dead mother. After I’m Gone. If you’ve read The Hours. Finally, I read The Vanishers. Should play Julia if this ever becomes a movie.

Lauren is a HUGE reader – this girl burns through books, so we talked a bit about what we are reading. I mentioned that I’m currently reading Bird Box. By John Malerman, and gave everyone a quick rundown on its terrifying dystopian plot. At this point, Sarah. Series (which she’s currently burning through). I’...
