A Lil' Sumpin' Sumpin': March 2010

A Lil' Sumpin' Sumpin'. Saturday, March 27, 2010. All Reviews- All The Time! Let The Great World Spin. After having read Destroy All Cars. I was curious to see what else Nelson had written. Rock Star Superstar. No More Us For You. This book initially felt like it was set in the 90's but then as it went on it had pop culture references sprinkled in it to make it seem more contemporary. It was not as dynamic as Suckerpunch. A Lil Sumpin' Sumpin'. Let The Great World Spin. No More Us For You. From "Night Li...

A Lil' Sumpin' Sumpin': I'm a Winner at the Game of Life!
http://alilsumpinsumpin.blogspot.com/2011/07/im-winner-at-game-of-life.html
A Lil' Sumpin' Sumpin'. Thursday, July 7, 2011. I'm a Winner at the Game of Life! A while back I entered a contest. At the fantastic website GREEN House of Fashion. And, guess what, I WON! Nothing like the thrill of victory to get you through the long, hot days of summer. I cut open the bubble wrap and inside was a chartreuse (one of my favorite colors and, for that matter, words) bag and a beautiful, handmade, red, pulpy-paper card with a bit of gold-painted greenery affixed. Hmmm, perhaps I should have...

A Lil' Sumpin' Sumpin'. Tuesday, June 21, 2011. Fun in the Sun. My dear friend and colleague gave me a very generous gift card (that I tried to graciously refuse on the grounds that it was far to generous and I had done nothing to deserve such generosity, but she was extremely insistent that I take it, so I acquiesced! And so, of course, I did what anybody would do: I bought a shit-ton of books. But, because I shopped on Better World Books. I now have reading material for at least a month! And I gotta sa...

A Lil' Sumpin' Sumpin': Where Have all the Great Books Gone?
http://alilsumpinsumpin.blogspot.com/2011/07/where-have-all-great-books-gone.html
A Lil' Sumpin' Sumpin'. Wednesday, July 13, 2011. Where Have all the Great Books Gone? I'm having some focusing issues. This seems to happen whenever I read an amazing book or, God forbid, multiple amazing books in a row! After reading something brilliant it is so hard to read something that is merely good. And if the book is boring or bad in any way, ugh, that's just the pits. This is obviously a metaphor for my love life. Analyze as you see fit. A Lil Sumpin' Sumpin'. July 13, 2011 at 10:19 AM. You sho...

A Lil' Sumpin' Sumpin': November 2010
http://alilsumpinsumpin.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
A Lil' Sumpin' Sumpin'. Thursday, November 25, 2010. Congratulations to Kathrine Erskine- winner of the National Book Award for Young People's Literature. For the book Mockingbird. I reviewed this book. Last year and knew it was destined to be a big success! Having worked with high school students for the last 12 years, I can say that, Asperger's or not, empathy is sorely missing from so many young people in our schools today. Lately, bullying amongst kids and teens has been in the news. To your reading ...

A Lil' Sumpin' Sumpin'. Sunday, August 7, 2011. The Monster of Florence:. By Douglas Preston and Mario Spezi. The Monster of Flore. I stayed up until sunrise, too terrified to sleep. I thought for sure the Monster was going murder my neighbors and then I'd be stuck as a witness in a long drawn out court case! Ultimately, the read was well worth the loss of sleep because what we have here is a deeply engaging set of facts and an excellent piece of writing. A Lil Sumpin' Sumpin'. The Monster of Florence.

A Lil' Sumpin' Sumpin'. Friday, May 6, 2011. Nothing like being quarantined in an airplane seat for 6 hours to get some quality reading done! And that is exactly what I did on my last JetBlue flight from California to New York. I had just received the Harper Perenial ARC of. A new short story collection by Rahul Mehta, and was eager to read it. So, I fastened my seatbelt, turned off the TV monitor in front of me, and settled in to eat my Munchies and get to reading! The flap copy states:. I have devised ...
