reading all books referenced on Gilmore girls

While I normally review my books in the order I read them, given how topical it is, I figured I'd bump it up. So, today... I review Harper Lee's second (or first) book (whoa, never thought I'd be writing that sentence). I have a little something to tell you. I know it's going to come as a shock. But... Santa Claus isn't real I'll give you a few moments to digest that. Okay, now that you know the truth... this is exactly how I feel about Atticus Finch's character change fro

Two friends gave me belated Christmas gifts yesterday, and they were both book-related. And TOTALLY AWESOME! The first is a book sculpture- a copy of Jane Eyre where the pages are folded (not cut, so it doesn't seem so painful) in a way to write out the word "Read". This will likely become the focal piece my library is eventually designed around (I have a library... it's just currently very dark and lots o' paneling). The second is a book I've been drooling over for awhile.

As The Grapes of Wrath depresses the ever-lovin' shit out of me, this blog cracked me up. Below are a few of my favorites. One-Star Book Reviews "Ever since women (deservedly) got the vote, feminists have had to scrounge for stuff to gripe about. Take Ally McBeal, for example." "Complete drivel... This book has no conflict." "Pure crap." "I feel bad because of the slavery..." "This may be called feminism, but it is total crap for the fact that not all feminists are inco

Our next book is To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. I last read this in high school and am very excited that I get to read it again! Did you know that Harper is currently the ninth most popular name for baby girls in 2014? It's a beautiful name and I love the literary connection, however it'll be hilarious to see a kindergarten classroom with 12 Harpers in 2019. Sorry Posh Spice! #tokillamockingbird #harperlee

My friend Lauren just sent me the below Amazon link saying "You should get this after Lorelai is here". Tequila Mockingbird- Cocktails with a Literary Twist Now I want this book soooooo badly. Almost as badly as I want ALL THE DRINKS! This long, sober 9 months reminded me of the below exchange between Sookie and Lorelai from might be, arguably, my favorite Gilmore girls episode ever "They Shoot Gilmores, Don't They?" (aka The Dance Marathon- s 3: e 7). Sookie: All of a s
