  1. Room - Emma Donoghue
  2. 8.5/10
  3. Realistic Fiction, Creepy
  4. It really makes you think about things you don't notice in your life. They've always been there and are so obsolete/routine that you ignore them.

HI!! Thanks so much for hosting this fun gauntlet!

  1. Today is Saturday and I had to work for a bit which I normally don't do on the weekends. I am a social worker and one of my clients needed to meet with me today though. Now that I am done with work I may take a dip on the pool for a bit, then my husband is taking me to Longhorn for dinner. Yum!! Cheddar stuffed mushrooms, here I come!

  2. Right now this is what I am lusting after most!!

  3. I make my own homemade lip balm!! It is pretty easy once you get the supplies. I followed this recipe and then did some trial and error to see what consitency I liked best. The amount of beeswax you put in determines the consistency. I have even made tinted ones with old lipsticks, and some of them I scent with essential oils. It is fun and I love the results.

  4. I have not had as much time to read lately but a couple of my favorite books are The Room and The Poisonwood Bible.

  5. Here is my new mani! The cool top coat is not photographing well. http://i.imgur.com/Nhimx3e.jpg I used Sunful Colors Dream on and Sally Hansen Rock Chic.

  6. Happy one year anniversary!!! Are you doing anything fun?

Just a quick sidenote, have you read Room. I mean, it's right up your alley to be honest. It happens in childhood and, fair warning, it isn't occult horror, it's everyday horror if that makes sense.


But I am with you, stories taking place in childhood would be so much fun. I have many memories of the weird and outright scary when I was young but for it only to be something I didn't understand because I had the brain of a Winnie The Pooh book. Yet if that scary thing was real, how could I get help? I would be a child trying to fight something beyond my power and strength.


Then again, I also like stories where it is something bad happening to the child but the child can't really figure out that it's bad. I like that because the reader is both simulateously going "you idiot kid! Can't you see what is happening to you?!" yet also going; "What the fuck? What if something like that happened to me?".


Good point, /u/GobiusIndustries.

People keep telling me about this book with my username. I've never actually read it. My name comes from this. It's in memoriam of a dead friend who liked drugs a little too much.

I'll have to go pick up that book one of these days. People keep telling me about it.

If you ever remember the name of that other book, which sounds like a Chick tract, just tell me the name. I can go fetch it for myself. No need to be buying me stuff, k.

If you like to read, hell yeah, let's talk. My hubs and I are both bookworms to an amazing degree. I just read one called Everything I Never Told You which won some kind of award from Amazon - best new or first book of the year, can't remember. It's a mindfucker.

The only book that ever made me cry was written from the point of view of a family dog. It was made into a movie that completely sucked, but the end of the book had me bawling. I've had to fight to retrieve that book from people I've loaned it to; only one printing, there aren't that many around, so I wasn't able to just let them keep it.

Want to read one from the point of view of a velociraptor? Here you go.

Another mindfucker: Room. Jesus, this one will have your skin crawling and hair standing up on the back of your neck.

My main thing is historical fiction, though. Gotta be well-researched and accurate - and yes, I check. I can go on and on about this, but the best is Edward Rutherfurd. He takes several lineages and follows them throughout history - Sarum starts in prehistory, do that one first - with a ton of detail.

Hubs is into science fiction, favorite author is Neal Stephenson. We both dig Kim Stanley Robinson, though. If you've never read his stuff, try this. If sci-fi is your thing, I can ask him for some recommendations.

When I say that Himself and I are bookworms, I am not kidding. We turned the dining room into a library to contain the overflow. You walk in our front door, and to your right is a wall; to your left, a library. Pretty fucking cool, if you ask me.
