Suzanne’s Printz Reading Project — 2010 Winner Summary

I have now read 52 books in this crazy project. I was telling someone yesterday that I was struggling to get through the book I was (then) currently reading -- but I *had* to finish it, no matter what, because of this completely arbitrary goal I had set myself. I did finish that book (The ... VIEW POST

“The Monstrumologist” by Rick Yancey

Dear book, It's me, not you. I think I can see why you won lots of awards, but you didn't do it for me.

I posted last weekend about it, whining about how I just a little bit of the ... VIEW POST

“Going Bovine” by Libba Bray

"Going Bovine" is a strange trip of a book. I read this a few years ago, probably close to when it was first published. I enjoyed a lot of it, but frankly, I felt like there was too much of it for me. It's based on "Don Quixote" and like it's source material, the adventures ramble on. And on. I'm ... VIEW POST

“This quilt is taking forever” — a pathetic story, by Suzanne

This is the quilt I wanted to finish over the weekend, but ignored in favor of apples.  I feel like it's taking forever, because it is. I think the original post about starting it is buried in the blog archives here, somewhere around 2010 (ish?). The machine quilting got started around the first of ... VIEW POST
