Not a part of the challenge: Finished the rest of the Scott Pilgrim books.

Not a part of the challenge: The Truth and the Life (2014) by Elizabeth Moore. A book from the Goodreads giveaways that I actually really liked.

Book with antonyms in the title: That Was Then, This Is Now (1971) by SE Hinton. More depressing than The Outsiders.

Trilogy (2): The Year of the Flood (2009) by Margaret Atwood. I liked it even better than Oryx and Crake. I can't wait to read the third book and I can't wait to see how the tv series turns out.

Book by an author you never read before: The Dream Killer (1970) by Ursula Russell. Originally had a William Faulkner book here, but changed it for reasons.

Been trying to slow down my reading a bit, but whatevs.

Book you started and never finished: Hatchet (1987) by Gary Paulsen

  • at least I think I never got to finish it in grade 8


Not part of the challenge: I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings (1969) by Maya Angelou

  • My copy is an retired library/first edition. It is well worn and has student notes in it.


Not part of the challenge: Springtime Begins in March (1968) by Jean Little

Book that was made into a movie: Howl's Moving Castle (1986) by Diana Wynne Jones

  • Originally, I was going to use Black Beauty, then I changed my mind to Fugitive Pieces, then this.

  • Need to see the movie again


Not part of the challenge: Scott Pilgrim and the Infinite Sadness (2006) by Bryan Lee O'Malley

Non-fiction: Secret Cinema: Gnostic Vision in Film (2006) by Eric G. Wilson

  • He's sort of snobby, but it has some interesting stuff in it. I am putting some of the bibliography on my to-read list.

  • This used to be Other Sister's book. I don't think she got much out of it, I doubt she saw most of those movies.

  • He used the word crepuscular alot. It's now one of my favourite words.

  • He seems extra anti-Tom Cruise, but he had a point about Vanilla Sky.

Filmography for Secret Cinema (other movies were mentioned through out the book though):

This song is so good.

Other songs I'm lovin' today

  1. Tina Turner - Mountain High/River Deep

  2. Ohio Players - Sweet Sticky Thing

  3. The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping

This parody Kim Wayans did of the Crystal Waters song. <3

Another Vi Hart video that is just...

David Walliams wrote a childrens book called Gangsta Granny. I know him as the creepy dude from Capturing Mary, so it's hilarious.

While I'm here, I may as well do an update on the books I'm reading

Motown Encyclopedia

  • Bruce Willis had an entry, lol

InterWorld

  • Joeys mom took that really well

  • I finished it

Christmas Treasury

  • I skipped the short story "A Country Christmas". I don't like doing that, but bleh.

Scott Pilgrim vs The World

  • Finished this. It's a little more incoherant than the first volume, but in a charming way I guess.
