Day Twenty: Favourite romance book - Memoirs of a Geisha (Arthur Golden)
“At the temple there is a poem called “Loss” carved into the stone. It has three words, but the poet has scratched them out. You cannot read loss, only feel it.”
I love Sayuri/Chairman (she is one of my favourite characters ever) and how long she loves him for and the backdrop of the book and all the little intricate...

Guess who just had a Tropical Relentless? And thought it would be OK because ‘Well, it tastes like fruit juice so it must be fine….’? Guess who won’t be sleeping tonight?
I’ll give you a clue… it begins with ‘H’ and ends in ‘elena’…
life on the other side: Why did the Weasel cross... →
life-on-the-other-side:
Why did the Weasel cross the road? Somebody tossed a knut. Why did Potter cross the road. No reason, but someone will write a book about it. Why did Draco cross the road? So he could swing his hips at Potter. Why did Crabbe and Goyle cross the road? Draco did. Why did the Dark Lord cross…

Day Nineteen: Favourite book turned into a movie - Schindler’s Ark (Thomas Keneally)
I’m judging this sort of as the best book to movie adaptation, rather than my favourite book being turned into a movie.
For it’s subject, the book does deliver in a rather dry, factual way. When reading it’s almost easy to forget that elsewhere, millions of people are being murdered and...

On Wednesday...
I will be seeing Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs… as in Orlando Higginbottom in all his wonderful, amazing, generally above average awesomeness…
And I plan to seduce him with my sexual moves on the dancefloor. Unfortunately for moi, my dancing is less this:
And more this:
If all else fails I will flash him my boobs.

Day Eighteen: A book that disappointed you - It (Stephen King)
After the amazing creepiness of The Shining, I was pretty disappointed with It. I mean, when it arrived, the book is so long, it’s literally cuboid and I was like All right! Scary times acomin’
And there were some scary times. My problem was that as soon as something scary happened, the book went into a flashback or...

Day Seventeen - Favourite quote from a book:
‘In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit hole, and that means comfort’
(The Hobbit - J. R. R. Tolkien)
….Because it begins THE BEST MOTHER FUCKING STORY...

Exceeded recommended nose-strip time....
Said 7-15 minutes (who comes up with this shit anyway?)
Nose-strip has been stewing on my face for about an hour.
It’s meant to clean out my pores…. I think it’s taken off at least four layers of epidermis.

Letter T is being retarded...
Every other letter on the keyboard is like all happy and obliging, like a normal key should, sort of oh hey, you want to use me? That’s cool because that’s what I do and I am here for you… like a tiny square friend with the most limited vocabulary ever.
And then T is like:
And suddenly every word I need to type is like full of Ts and I have to like beat the keyboard into...

Day Sixteen: Favourite female character - Susie Salmon (The Lovely Bones)
She’s just a wonderful human being.
Wow, these are really deep insights into my favourite books… :/
I vow to try harder next time.
