WORMBOOK: There are girls, there are girls, there are girls, there are girls
http://lnvsml.blogspot.com/2015/06/anton-disclafani-yonahlossee-riding-camp.html
When I was little, I knew I was a bookworm but not what order to say it in. There are girls, there are girls, there are girls, there are girls. So many books try to pull off the trick of obliquely mentioning a Life Event in one of its characters' lives and then gradually unspooling it like a carpenter's tape measure. This one is worth it. The newest resident of the titular camp is Thea Atwell, a doctor's daughter from rural Florida whose parents have sent her away for a transgression. My ML Progress List.

WORMBOOK: Dearest Cecilia, the story can resume.
http://lnvsml.blogspot.com/2007/12/dearest-cecilia-story-can-resume.html
When I was little, I knew I was a bookworm but not what order to say it in. Dearest Cecilia, the story can resume. I'll be shocked if "Atonement" doesn't get nominated for best picture. The movie completely exceeded my expectations (which were pretty high to begin with) and, nine hours later, I'm still. Thinking about some of its arresting images and the mechanics of the plot. DO NOT READ THIS COMMENT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED. I hope someone eventually reads this comment, as I feel rather silly le...

WORMBOOK: TOM MCCARTHY news
http://lnvsml.blogspot.com/2015/01/tom-mccarthy-news.html
When I was little, I knew I was a bookworm but not what order to say it in. Not only is a movie adaptation of Tom McCarthy's "Remainder" coming out this year, but there is also a new McCarthy novel due out February 17. Feast your eyes on the cover for SATIN ISLAND, about a "corporate ethnographer" trying to write the definitive history of the era. I wasn't a huge fan of C, McCarthy's last novel, but excited to give this one a try. The movie. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

WORMBOOK: One-Star Revue: WILD
http://lnvsml.blogspot.com/2015/01/wild-cheryl-strayed-nick-hornby.html
When I was little, I knew I was a bookworm but not what order to say it in. See also "Inherent Vice."). WILD has been out for a while, though, and not everyone feels the same way I do. A particular flashpoint for these reviewers is the popularity of the book after its selection for "Oprah's Book Club 2.0" (is this still happening? This book is just further proof that it is sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll that sells. If it had ACTUALLY been about the PCT, Oprah never would have read it.". Strayed includes a ...

WORMBOOK: Filmbook: "Testament of Youth" (2015)
http://lnvsml.blogspot.com/2015/06/filmbook-testament-of-youth-2015.html
When I was little, I knew I was a bookworm but not what order to say it in. Filmbook: "Testament of Youth" (2015). TESTAMENT OF YOUTH, Vera Brittain's memoir about World War I-era Europe, was one of my favorite books of 2011. My expectations of this movie were fairly tempered by the fact that I had heard almost nothing. About it before it opened here, and because the book is always better. Still, I found in it an above-average drama that gets stronger as it goes. You might like this movie if you liked:.

When I was little, I knew I was a bookworm but not what order to say it in. If no longer vital to a woman’s status as a human being, marriage is still understood as her crowning success, the event without which her life won’t be truly complete. When Amazing Amy grows up, she can’t not. From Elif Batuman's terrific though spoilery essay on GONE GIRL, "Marriage Is An Abduction,". For the New Yorker. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

WORMBOOK: Tournament of Books 11 -- yes, already
http://lnvsml.blogspot.com/2014/12/tournament-of-books-11-yes-already.html
When I was little, I knew I was a bookworm but not what order to say it in. Tournament of Books 11 - yes, already. Buried over Christmas was the longlist. For the annual Tournament of Books, The Morning News' highly idiosyncratic literature competition. Although I always enjoy these lists, I approached this one with a little disappointment for my perceived lack of progress (only 7 titles down? Very well, then I won't. Here's my best guess. At what is going to make the short list:. Megan Abbott, THE FEVER.
