Books of 2014 - update
It has been a year since my last post. Much has happened in my personal life, some of it very joyous, some of it exciting/terrifying, and some of it very sad.
For now things are going quite well. I have a wonderful volunteer job at a local cat shelter, and I have successfully turned my childhood room into a grownup room.
Also, I have been reading a ton of books, thanks to my new Kindle.
January:
Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal by Mary Roach (started 1/5)
The Autistic Brain: Thinking Across the Spectrum by Temple Grandin (1/28)
February:
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green (2/5)
Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick (2/15)
March:
The Borderline Personality Disorder Survival Guide: Everything You Need to Know About Living with BPD by Alexander L. Chapman (3/2)
Dracula by Bram Stoker (3/6)
The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux (started around 3/15?)
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley (started around 3/22)
April:
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson (4/3)
You Can Date Boys When You're Forty: Dave Barry on Parenting and Other Topics He Knows Very Little About by... shoot, I forgot the author (4/3)
Updated to add (on 4/21/14):
"If Your Baby Must Travel in Wartime" by United States Department of Labor - Children's Bureau (1944)
The Etiquette of Engagement and Marriage Describing Modern Manners and Customs of Courtship and Marriage, and giving Full Details regarding the Wedding Ceremony and Arrangments by G. R. M. Devereux (published 1903) - this was a riot and deserves its own blog post
The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne - I liked this way more as an adult than as a high schooler
Big Trouble by Dave Barry - I've reread this a lot but it's always a treat
