Kiss Me Goodnight: November 2009
http://katie-mack.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 30, 2009. Music Monday: Hedwig and the Angry Inch. One of my favorite albums is the soundtrack from the movie Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Which is based on the musical of the same name. Ranging from hard rock to sugar pop, each song tells a piece of Hedwig's story. The clip below is of my favorite song from the movie, "The Origin of Love." The song is a take on Aristophanes' speech at the Plato Symposium. Have you seen Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Links to this post. Disclosure: This was a ...

Kiss Me Goodnight: Review/Rant: Mirror, Mirror by Amanda McIntyre
http://katie-mack.blogspot.com/2009/12/reviewrant-mirror-mirror-by-amanda.html
Friday, December 25, 2009. Review/Rant: Mirror, Mirror by Amanda McIntyre. Title: Mirror, Mirror. Really surreal, and Charlie discovered nothing was what it seemed. For most of Mirror, Mirror. I didn't, but only because it's an e-book and I didn't want to break my Sony Reader. Suffice it to say: I was pissed. You know those endings which at first surprise you, but then you think back over the story and realize little clues had been dropped along the way, and the ending is actually quite clever? Disgusted...

Kiss Me Goodnight: Christmas Tidbits
http://katie-mack.blogspot.com/2009/12/christmas-tidbits.html
Tuesday, December 29, 2009. My awesome family members and Dear Boyfriend helped me move 98% of my possessions on the day after Christmas, which means we all had to drag our asses out of bed at an ungodly hour after the festivities the day before. Lucky for Bro - who was suffering from an eggnog hangover - I wisely hadn't yet packed the aspirin. Looking a bit miffed): "I do occasionally read grown-up books too, you know. You don't have to warn me that they might have adult. Themes. I am. Gotten off my ass.

Kiss Me Goodnight: 2009: My Fave Reads (and Un-Favorites)
http://katie-mack.blogspot.com/2010/01/2009-my-fave-reads-and-un-favorites.html
Saturday, January 9, 2010. 2009: My Fave Reads (and Un-Favorites). I say I don't, so I'm not gonna. So with that in mind, the following books were chosen using only one rule: I first read them in 2009. Some were published in 2009, some were published earlier, so I'm not calling this my list of Best Books of 2009. Instead, these are my Favorite Reads of 2009. Hyperlinked book titles will take you to my reviews.). It was a really close decision between this one and Hot Under Pressure. Out of the Deep I Cry.

Kiss Me Goodnight: Explaining My Vanishing Act
http://katie-mack.blogspot.com/2010/01/explaining-my-vanishing-act.html
Sunday, January 24, 2010. Explaining My Vanishing Act. Some of you may recall a few posts back when I mentioned moving to a new city and starting a new career. Well, that new career is the reason my online presence has been virtually nonexistent the last few weeks. To make a long story short: I'm in the police academy. Going into the academy I knew I'd be busy, but I wasn't exactly sure how much free time I'd have. After a couple of weeks, I now realize that it will be a struggle for me to meet my mo...

Kiss Me Goodnight: Year in Review: 2009
http://katie-mack.blogspot.com/2010/01/year-in-review-2009.html
Sunday, January 3, 2010. Year in Review: 2009. As I already mentioned, in the year that was 2009 I managed to read a total of 178 books. This is nowhere near how many I've read in previous years, but I actually figured the number would be much lower. 2009 just felt like a busy year, but apparently I squeezed in more reading time than I'd thought. Single-Title vs. Category vs. Short-Story. Line (This is not really news to me, or anybody who knows me.). Series vs. Stand-Alone. Only 45.5% (81) of the bo...
