City of Bones, Part Two

Pretentious much?

It's less bad than I thought it would be from the first 17 pages. I still don't care about any of the characters. It feels like it's trying too hard.

City of Bones

You know what? So far this book is craptastic.
I shouldn't have been surprised; check out the endorsement on the front...

Thirteen reasons why

I've heard about this book for years, but never picked it up until I went to the library the other day.
Premise: high school student kills herself, then mails a box of audio tapes to the people she blames.
It's really engaging. A mix of her retelling and the reactions of a recipient. I started it last night and am on page 53/288.

NaNoWriMo

I have won! I am doing the stupid cabbage patch dance of joy! Now I can put it aside for a month, then start the monstrous task of editing and revising...

Unreadable.

An interesting comparative analysis.
I enjoyed a couple of the books being compared.

Was I just haunted?

I can't shake the dream I had last night.
In it, I talked on the phone to a guy I dated in high school. I didn't want to talk to him, but I kept saying polite things. (He was super messed up and actually committed suicide a couple years ago.) When I got off the phone I went to a bar for a drink. A friend (who also has major issues) sat down with me and told me that I have severe anxiety and depression. They thought I should be medicated.
Then in real life my alarm clock rang and I got up and ready for work. I get in the car, the radio comes on, and the song is an old 80's number that never fails to remind me of that guy I dated. It's not a very common radio song.
Hmmmmm.
