I know, I’ve been away. My life has been a series of cacophonous events and then catatonic pauses. So, I apologize. I need to attend to my lovely blog (and lovelier followers) once more.
Since I am on summer break, I’ve decided to break into the reviewing market. So, right now, I’m going to do movie and book reviews of things I read and see over the summer and perhaps throw in a couple event, play, and recreational things as well. Here is my to-do list of movies and books I have already seen/read since my summer began last week.
Movies
- Orange is the New Black: Season 2 (2014)
- Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)
- Submarine (2010)
- Frances Ha (2013)
- Terms and Conditions May Apply (2013)
- The Trip (2010)
Books
- Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore, by Robin Sloan
- Norwegian Wood, by Haruki Murakami
These reviews will be coming quite steadily from my blog very soon. I also have two lists going of the other books I’ll be reading and movies I’ll be watching. My Netflix queue is quite figuratively bursting at the moment. I also take long train rides every day, so I have been reading a lot more quickly than usual. My lists are as follows:
Movies (selections in no particular order)
- Prince Avalanche (2013)
- The Kids Are All Right (2010)
- Much Ado About Nothing (2012)
- Jeff, Who Lives at Home (2011)
- Annie Hall (1977)
- Fargo (1996)
- The Viscous Kind (2009)
Books
- The Empathy Exams, by Leslie Jamison
- The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, by Junot Diaz
- The Master and Margarita, by Mikhail Bulgakov
- Atonement, by Ian McEwan
- Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte
- The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest, by Stieg Larson
So yeah. Am I being ambitious? Yes. Will I finish everything? Probably not. But hey, a girl can dream.
