Currently reading: White Is For Witching by Helen Oyeyemi And how is it? It’s weird and I’m not sure I really understand the format (is it multiple perspectives? is it from the perspective of Elliot and the house, or is there another one as well?), but I like it so far!

Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon: Opening Meme
It’s that time of year again! The 24 hour readathon! I’m going to be updating throughout the day with my progress. I’ll be reading some nonlesbian books, but I’ll go back and redact those after I’m done. On to the opening meme! 1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today? BritishRead More
Readathon Hours 23 & 24: The Final Update!
Currently reading: The Complete Spiderwick Chronicles by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black And how is it? Definitely the right pick for the last hours of the readathon. I was zoning out so much, anything more difficult would have been impossible. Pages read this hour: Hour 23; 152, Hour 24: 190, but those are both very generous estimates for littleRead More
Hours 19, 20, 21 & 22
Currently reading: The Complete Spiderwick Chronicles by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black And how is it? I like it! I’ll definitely recommend it more at my bookstore. And such a quick read!

Readathon Hours 16, 17 & 18
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
