I was on a used bookstore shopping spree recently so I have a lot of books I plan to read this Fall. Or at least that I plan to carry around with me when I'm going for a chai latte at Starbucks. This post is part of The Broke and Bookish Top Ten Tuesday meme. Today is Top 10 Books on my Fall TBR...
photo by Corey Blaz Top 10 Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. I started listening to audio books on my freshman year in college. I had a long commute and an even longer reading list. Between work and classes, I had very little time and knew I had to step up my game if I wanted to cross off every...
Top 10 Tuesday is a book meme hosted by the creative girls from The Broke and the Bookish. Yesterday's theme was Top 10 Bookish Memories. At first, I thought I wasn't going to be able to pull this one off because I never met a famous author, or waited in line to buy a book. (Apparently a great number of bloggers waited in line...
Yesterday's Broke and Bookish Top Tuesday's meme is more than appropriate: Top 10 Authors and Books I'm Thankful for. While compiling this list it occurred to me: wouldn't it be nice to meet these authors one day and thank them in person? But for now, here's my virtual thanks: 5 Books I'm thankful for: 1) Little Prince - Antoine de Saint-Exupery I begin with one of my childhood...
That's it, I've had it with lame movies. You know you've reached a cinematic rock bottom when you're watching What Women Want just because, hey, Mel Gibson is in it. So now I'm focusing on classics, because you can't go wrong with them. And one of my favorite classic actors is James Stewart. I discovered he made over 90 movies and I've only...
The Classics Club asked: "What classic piece of literature most intimidates you, and why? Are you intimidated by the classics, and why?" I love the classics and consider them to be the most rewarding books. So, in general, I don't find the category "the classics" very intimidating. But there are some titles and authors that are very intimidating to me. I divide them in these three...

After all those horror movie marathons you went through during Halloween it's time for a couple of laughs. Total Film is having a pool about the greatest comedy one liners. Naturally, I had to make a list of my own. While I was reading the list I realized many of the lines didn't sound so funny because I hadn't seen the movie. Funny how...
A while back Fernando from Committed to Celluloid posted his favorite actors that were born on the same year as him. I thought this was very interesting and looked for actors who share my birthday. Unfortunately, I didn't find many actors I like that were born in 1986. Though some very popular names appeared such as Twilight's Robert Pattison, Gossip Girls' Leighton Meister and...
I am once again posting a day ahead schedule to take part on Broke and Bookish's meme Top 10 Tuesday. Today the topic is free so I chose Top 10 Favorite Words. 1) Revival Meaning: "a process in which something becomes active or strong again" I've been obsessed with this word lately. I find myself saying: a Tudor revival house, an Art Deco revival in...
I am posting one day in advance of schedule to take part on Broke and Bookish's meme Top 10 Tuesday. Today's theme is bookish people you want to meet. My list consist mostly of dead people, which isn't very realistic, but let's face it when am I ever going to meet John Green? 1) Dostoyevsky In the dispute Tolstoy versus Dostoyvesky, I say without...
I have some pretty exciting news. Exciting for nerds like me, of course. As you guys know by my Writer's corner posts I'm always trying to improve my writing. So, I've enrolled in James Chartrand's Damn Fine Words writing course. I guess part of my excitement comes from how well she promotes the course (who doesn't want their writing to bring results?) It's a great feeling...
