1: Walking in on Mum and Dad

A quick, light read. Embarrassing stories of athletes, actors, journalists, politicians, and other celebrities. (In all fairness, I must admit that some of the allusions to pop culture and sports flew over my head, as Mr. King is a Brit. But I could still see humor in stories of cricket and rugby, so kudos to the author.) Stories are organized by theme--I particularly enjoyed the SEX chapter and the FAMILY & FRIENDS section. This was my read-in-bed-until-I-nod-off book...and I must say that I looked forward to bedtime during this time.

Starting Now

Librarything has motivated me to start my own 50-book challenge. We'll see how long it takes me to get to #50...then start all over again! :) I've definitely got enough books (over 300) to read that have not been touched since they were first put on the shelf. My eyes were definitely bigger than my voracious appetite for words...or perhaps I've just let inconsequential things trick me into thinking I was full. Then I'll make excuses like "I have too much homework/school/etc." Not cool, Ems! I will finish reading Walking in on Mom and Dad for #1 and then continue on to something else very soon. (Perhaps it will be a novel for my senior seminar, but it still counts.) Yay!
