Books & Reading Circle
Material for reading
So, my Oscar predictions didn't go as well this year as last. Ahhhh, well. Delighted for Olivia Coleman (and her speech was great.) So, yeah, books. I signed up for a book gifting thing through Reddit. The first of the books that the person who got me sent me arrived today. Cloud Atlas by Da...
Audiobooks and such
Hey everyone! I just finished the books the chimes, which was more than a little hard to follow. I think I gave it three stars on goodreads. I am now reading the stolen empire series, love and decay vol. 1, episode 1., and reckless magic. I am at the point where there are very few…

Laura Fleming and Anger Management
My therapist suggested I read this long boring book about anger management, which I'm more than happy to do, but it also requires doing exercises frequently. This means I actually have to sit down with a pen and piece of paper, so I can't just read the damn book whenever I want to, I have…

Yesterday evening was our book club discussion of The Female Persuasion, we had a surprisingly better turn out than I expected, and everyone was talkative and actively engage in the discussion.
