Thursday, December 4, 2014. Another made up challenge. After looking at the top books of 2014 as determined by the users of Goodreads, I decided to challenge myself to read five of the top books from any five categories. So these are the books I'm reading:. By Rainbow Rowell (Best Fiction) (1/28/2015) 4/5 stars. 2 All the Light We Cannot See. Best Historical Fiction) (3/21/2015) 5/5 Stars. By Andy Weir (Best Science Fiction) (1/2015) 4/5 stars. 4 The Romanov Sisters. 5 We Were Liars. My Updated TBR List.

IndianaJane's Bookshelf: Mount TBR Challenge 2015
http://janesbookshelf.blogspot.com/2014/12/mount-tbr-challenge-2015.html
Tuesday, December 2, 2014. Mount TBR Challenge 2015. Never give up. That's what makes me join this challenge. Every year my TBR pile grows by more books than I manage to read, and I know 2015 will be no exception. Yet this challenge is valuable, because it gets me to read the books that I've been putting off, which are almost invariably GOOD. Something made me pick them up in the first place. And the books that I buy- whether physical copies or on Kindle- tend to be better quality books. By Neil Gaiman (...

Near-sighted Farsight: August 2013
http://clangore.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
How to describe this blog? It is a place where I can post my most abstract and superfluous thoughts. No matter how crazy they may be. Friday, August 30, 2013. Sundry Sophomore Soliloquoys, vol. 5. In which our hero finishes the week on Friday. So, it's come to this. But back to our narrative. Interjection: I have been remiss this week in not expressing gratitude to the most wonderful neighbor person in the world, Mrs. P. Who was generous enough to let me ride to and, when necessary, from campus w...Theor...

Near-sighted Farsight: Knowing
http://clangore.blogspot.com/2015/02/knowing.html
How to describe this blog? It is a place where I can post my most abstract and superfluous thoughts. No matter how crazy they may be. Sunday, February 1, 2015. In which our hero no doubt will butcher many great thoughts by many thinkers far his superiors as well as his own half baked contemplations. The light, which is both itself and a symbol of truth or goodness, has some other source, and philosophy then is to delve and contemplate the attributes of this source. Socrates, however, has bad news for...

Near-sighted Farsight: November 2013
http://clangore.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
How to describe this blog? It is a place where I can post my most abstract and superfluous thoughts. No matter how crazy they may be. Tuesday, November 19, 2013. Getting Older (Or am I? In which our hero contemplates the annual addition of age. Recently, I have been faced with something rather strange. People don't seem to be able to guess how old I actually am. They assume older, or younger, and they are almost always surprised when I tell them how young, or old, I really am. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Beauty Swirl: Smells like Italia!
http://beautyswirl.blogspot.com/2009/05/smells-like-italia.html
Wednesday, May 20, 2009. I can't explain what is happening to me lately, but ever since the breeze of warm weather has slowly crept in, shuffling out Spring and Summer time reminding us that it'll be another fierce season, I keep thinking of my honeymoon in Italy. Which brings me to my scent obsessions for all things citrus. Recently I received a flyer for a new scent by Dior. Why citrust scents in the summer? Dior Escale a Portofino $85. Acqua di Parma $98-127. Available at BlueMercury.com. Cult Beauty ...
