Non-Book Update Time (of course it’s mostly about the dog)
I made a few changes to the blog to accommodate posts that don’t involve books, and I haven’t written even one non-book post since. Until now. You, dear readers, have been underinformed about dog-related happenings, and it’s time to rectify that situation. Zelda went to the dog park in Longview, TX. https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsayloveshermac/16340184142/ Which wouldn’t be […]
2014 Books #54-58: Ridiculous. I know.
So it’s been a while. Almost a month since I’ve updated. But I’ve been busy! I’ll get to that later. First, a super-quick rundown on what I’ve been reading.

2011 Book #22: Americana
This is the third time I’ve read Americana. I really need to work on the Thesis Monster, and it had been a year since I’d read the book, so I figured rereading it would be a good start. I loved it the first two times: it was probably my favorite DeLillo book (hovering there with […]
2011 Book #21: The Year of the Flood
The Year of the Flood isn’t really a sequel to Oryx and Crake like I expected it to be. The two novels’ events happen at the same time: the plots and characters are interwoven. The Year of the Flood is narrated by two of these characters, Toby and Ren. They’re both part of an environmentalist […]
