angelicmobster8: woman with adorable lamb (Lamb)
Yeah, finished that. Donating it. I wont start any new books (except library books) until January. Anyway, last thoughts.

  1. She probably shouldn't refer to Hinduism and Buddhism as "wacky"

  2. She needs to learn that Africa isn't one country.

  3. "It hadn't occured to me that the Indonesian government would be anything less than delighted to host me in their country for just as long as I pleased to stay" (73) It hadn't occured to me that she would sound more ignorant in the Bali section, than in the India one.

  4. That bribing the guy to extend her visa kind of grossed me out. Especially when she writes about Yudhi being deported from the States.

  5. What is this sex infection she gets that is so painful?

  6. "If you need help making stiff your banana, I can give you medicine."

There was a book in the Goodreads giveaways that had this in it's description: Warning: This title is sexually explicit with mild bdsm. If you like it rough and spanky, this may be for you.

SO true.

This dog would make a great Loup in The Book of Lost Things.

Eat Pray Love

  1. The part about the girl on the scooter was funny, I also like how she writes about her sister.

  2. I was dreading the India segment, but it hasn't been horribly ignorant. Still pissed off about her Africa references.

  3. Can't believe it, but I'm craving a little romance. Ugh, odd. This applies to that aromanticism stuff I was talking about.

  4. Speaking of romance, I re-watched Maid in Manhattan last night. Both Bob Hoskins and Natasha Richardson are gone. :(

  5. Annoyed me when she said she wished she could be shy. Maybe she meant just more quiet and thoughtful. Shyness sucks ass.

Motown Encyclopedia

  1. Roberta Flack has had an interesting life.

  2. Like I said, reading encyclopedias like regular books doesn't work for me. Maybe I would do better with autobios and bios on various people mentioned in the book.

  3. Quincey DELIGHT Jones!

  4. I love that Anna and Gwen Gordy wrote songs

Apparently Darren Aronofsky is making a show out of the MaddAddam trilogy, so I'm going to read those before it airs. Though I had been planning on reading the Atwood books I have in chronological order:

  1. The Handmaid's Tale (1985) OMG, the trailer for the movie (Natasha!) was so wrong! It gave a lot of stuff away, so don't watch it if you haven't read the book.

  2. Wilderness Tips (1991)

  3. The Robber Bride (1993)

  4. Alias Grace (1996)

  5. The Blind Assassin (2000)

  6. Oryx and Crake (2003)

  7. The Year of the Flood (2009)

Will get MaddAddam from the library.
angelicmobster8: a heart shaped candy saying a.m. inc. (Schmee)
Fifty Shades Darker (finished)

  1. I imagined the sex scene being filmed to this and cannot see it as a R-rated scene. It must be NC-17 and in slow motion.

  2. So true of Ana

  3. Ana reads Rebecca. There are a lot of similiarities. I loved that book. One chapter made me cry.

  4. Too much "Laters baby"!

  5. I had a lot of fun "annotating" it. I even created a character. Whenever Ana mentioned her inner goddess (quite often), I would write about my inner demon. "My inner demon spins its head around 360 degrees", "my inner demon vomits blood", etc. I even made drawings. I even added colour to some of them. I hope whoever gets these books from the Good Will I will be donating them to, will enjoy my notes.

  6. Mac and cheese is not nursery food, Ana, you snob!

  7. It gets very victim blamey often.

  8. Butt drawer

  9. It's kind of annoying that they always have to listen to songs that have something to do with the situation (though, there are songs I want to look up). Can't they have some random shit? Can't Christian listen to some polka or something?

  10. Dr. Flynn probably shouldn't be talking to Ana. He should have made a referral to a couples counselor or something.

  11. Dr. Flynn, obsessed with the phrase "breast-beating"

  12. Why does Christian have to have a good singing voice? Can't he have a couple of quirks that make him less perfect at everything?

  13. Anal virgin

  14. Do people really open and close their mouths like fish when they are shocked?


Motown Encyclopedia

  1. Maybe I'm not the type of person who can sit down and read an encyclopedia. So I'm skimming.

  2. It's sad about Florence Ballard.

  3. John Carpenter has an entry, because the Christine soundtrack was released by Motown.


Eat Pray Love

  1. "... the same African men...", NO! Not the same African men. Some bits of this book make me angry too.

  2. Ice Cream of the Crispy Saint

  3. Deutsche vita

  4. I do like the paragraphs about her fascination with Italian though

  5. This is pretty.

  6. Cream puffs.

Need to make some good selections at the library.
angelicmobster8: black and white photo of katharine hepburn, text says i'm still here (Katharine Hepburn)
Finished The Handmaids Tale

  1. Like I said, I loved it.

  2. It didn't really mention what happened to people of color. I imagine the Marthas are WOCs. Or maybe there are still POC and that includes the Econowives.

  3. "Seed in early Gilead"


Started Eat Pray Love

  • I know I know, but I need something easy breezy to read right now.


Got this in the mail

  1. Goodreads win

  2. a book about Motown written by a British white guy, I dunno

  3. It's going to take a while


Fifty Shades Darker

  1. Bitch-troll

  2. I actually liked the movie 9 and 1/2 Weeks, too bad the series couldn't be more like that.

  3. They've only been together for 5 weeks! Ack!

  4. She has worn that blue shirt too many times, does it even get clean?

  5. Ugh, he bitches at her for harmlessly flirting with Taylor. He's like Ray to her, Christian is a cockstain.

  6. Christian says that lovers don't need safewords!? Fuck you, yes they do!

  7. If Ana had went on the NYC trip and her boss tried to rape her, it would have been so victim blamey. I think I would have burned the book.

  8. Christian called Ana and then hung up! That is so childish, that is something Harpy does. Why aren't they using their blackberries for emailing, WTF?

  9. I read "His breathing eases" as "his breathing ceases" and was happy for a moment. I wrote it in my notes as "His breading eases". Christian eases up on breadmaking.

  10. In my annotations, when Ana mentioned her inner goddess doing something (can't remember), I wrote "my inner demon rolls its eyes". It was the one before her inner goddess put a rose in her mouth and did a tango.
