Currently reading: Paper Towns by John Green And how is it? I really wanted to like it, but I’ve got to say, I’m not impressed so far. I heard that this book critiques the manic pixie dream girl trope, and we’ll see how that plays out, but I don’t think it can make up for the casual sexismRead More
Readathon Hours 13, 14 & 15
Currently reading: Between books! Just finished those two poetry books, and about to start Paper Towns by John green! And how is it? I liked When I Was Straight a lot (especially the first half), but I felt like I wasn’t grasping the poems in This Is What Happened In Our Other Life. I tend to get impatient with highlyRead More
Readathon Hours 10, 11 & 12
Currently reading: The Impossible Knife of Memory by Laurie Halse Anderson And how is it? I’m still enjoying it, but it’s definitely not a light read. I really don’t know how this is going to wrap up. Pages read this hour: Hour 10: 0 (I took a break), Hour 11: 88, Hour 12: 84 Pages read so far: 768 BooksRead More
Readathon Hours 8 & 9
Currently reading: The Impossible Knife of Memory by Laurie Halse Anderson And how is it? I like it, but I’m not loving it yet. Some of the main character’s statements rub me the wrong way, but I’m pretty sure she’s supposed to be flawed. I’m interested to see where it goes. I actually like the loveRead More
Readathon Hours 6 & 7
Currently reading: Between books! And how is it? Extras was good! I really enjoyed it. Though, again, I’ll be looking up reviews to cement my feelings about the Japan setting Pages read this hour: Hour 6: 67, Hour 7: 71 Pages read so far: 487 Food eaten: Cucumber slices with hummus, kettle corn, and some delicious juice. Interruptions: Chatted with myRead More
Readathon Hours 4 and 5
Currently reading: Extras by Scott Westerfeld And how is it? Still good! The plot is fast-paced and keeps me turning the pages. It’s set in Japan, and I’m not sure how well Westerfeld conveys that (it’s pretty much just people using “-sama” “-chan” etc that points it out, and passing mentions of English being a second language). I’mRead More
Readathon Hours 1-3
Currently reading: Extras by Scott Westerfeld And how is it? I’m liking it! I enjoy Westerfeld’s use of future slang (it reminds me of Feed by MT Anderson), and Aya seems like a believable 15 year old: smarter than she’s given credit for, but also impulsive and immature at times. Pages read this hour: Hour 1: 99, Hour 2: 76,Read More
Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon 2014!
Hello Lesbrary readers! Today is Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon, which means I (Danika) will be posting updates of my reading throughout the day. About half of the books I’ll be reading are not lesbian, just to warn you. I’ll be going back and redacting those later. Here is my TBR stack: And here’s the Hour 0Read More
TB reviews Everybody Else’s Girl by Sarah Sawyers-Lovett
Everybody Else’s Girl, by Sarah Sawyers-Lovett, is set in Tazewell, Virginia. The town has two sides: quaint storefronts and poverty. The author shares what it was like growing up in extreme poverty and violence. It’s a true story, even though at times it’s hard to believe one person was able to overcome so much asRead More
