Follow Me On Bloglovin'

It has been my experience, as I’ve been feverishly flipping through teen blog after teen blog (instead of studying), that Bloglovin is somewhat obnoxious, asking you again and again, would you like to follow this blog? You don’t follow this blog. Do you want to? Do ya- do ya- do ya??

I don’t plan on making it that obnoxious on my site. But my thoughts were, Man, I gotta get myself on Bloglovin!

Mission success.

P.S. I will be adding all of my blogs onto the site individually. It requires I do that as proof that I'm the writer. 

"The Devil Wears Prada" - By Lauren Weisberger

The Devil Wears Prada was pleasantly surprising, I have to say.

I didn't really know what to expect. I'd seen the movie plenty of times before, so I guess I was expecting to read the movie.

If somehow you don't know, The Devil Wears Prada is a story about a girl named Andy Sachs, who takes the job as an assistant to the high-profile, Miranda Priestly, editor of Runway, a fashion magazine. Andy knows nothing about fashion, and doesn't care. She sees the job as a ticket to get into any magazine or publication of her choice, and that's what's important to her.

What she doesn't know is that "the job a million girls would die for" might just kill her in the process.

"The Cat Who Could Read Backwards" - Lillian Jackson Braun

I wanted a mystery. I don't know how I mentioned the Cat Who... series, but Julie told me she loved them as a kid and read almost all of them.

So what the hey. I rented it from the library.

I'm going to struggle writing this book review because of how sporadically I did read it.

I don't know what it was about this. The reading was easy. The characters easy to identify (I tend to be one of those people who, halfway through the book, go "hold up. Who's Bob? What's he look like? Where'd he come from? Wait, why does everyone hate him??") And the chapters weren't that long. So I don't know.

I'm not absolutely sure I gave it a chance. I just never fully got into the book.

The series is old. But in case you didn't know, the Cat Who.. books, or this one in particular, the first one, begins when Jim Qwilleran, a former crime reporter, has to settle for a job as an art writer. He's getting older, and that was the only job available, and he has to eat.

They say the art beat is the most popular section of the newspaper, which usually isn't the case. Qwilleran takes the job and steps into a world of pride, strange triangle drawings and junk sculptures ludicrously called "art", young talent, and a strange and overall despise and hatred for a art critic called George Bonifield Mountclemens the Third.
