In My Reading Life

Last week, I finished A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman. I liked it. You can tell that it’s Backman’s debut novel. It’s funny, but it’s also repetitive and predictable. I’m still reading A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin. Good thing I love this series because this book is so freakin’ long. I’ve read about 800 pages. I have another 300 to go. 

In My Internet Stalking Life

• Carrie @ Cat on the Bookshelf reviews some YA literary magazines, which makes me very happy because more people need to read literary magazines.
• Is it possible to do too many reading challenges? Suzanne @ The Bookish Libra talks about challenge fatigue.
• Cait @ Paper Fury has written a book, and you can buy it now.
• Do you like middle grade novels? Dena @ Batch of Books has recommendations.
• Do you search used bookstores for a specific book? Greg @ Book Haven discusses his bookish discoveries.
• Michelle @ Chelle's Book Ramblings wants to know what you do when a book hits too close to home.
• Morrighan @ Morrighan's Bookish Ramblings has #Bookstagram tips. I need all the help I can get.
• Nyx @ Drizzle & Hurricane Books lists 10 books that would make awesome movies.

In The Rest Of My Life

Five things that made me happy last week:

1. NASA discovered organic material on Mars. It’s not aliens, but it’s slightly closer to aliens.
2. I discovered that there are Instagram accounts that post photos of fancy chocolate desserts. (My discovery is almost as impressive as NASA's, right?) I didn’t know that I needed chocolate photos in my life. #Chocolate
3. Watching the Stanley Cup finals. I wanted Las Vegas to win, but I didn’t care that much. I used to watch tons of hockey, but it took up too much of my time, so now I only watch playoff games.
4. Nachos happened.
5. The neighbors put up a new fence! The old one was 30 years old, and it fell down because the neighbors’ German Shepherd is auditioning to become the Kool-Aid Man.
