2017 Reading: Norse Mythology

#16 A book that's published in 2017

See, I told you I would pick up any book about Norse Mythology.

I was kind of expecting this to be more of a story based book, but it was actually more of just a facts dump. I pretty much already knew all of the information that was presented so that made me a little disappointed, but I still like reading anything I can about this subject.

There were some modern turn-of-phrases and some dialogue that he threw in there, but mostly it was just facts. Still, fun read.

2017 Reading: Drag Queen

#47 A book with an eccentric character

If there are ever eccentric characters, drag queens fit the bill.

I had no idea what to expect from this books, but I was delightfully surprised. It was funny and engaging and once I really got into it, I didn't want to stop.

Also, it made me remember that I need to catch up with the latest season of RuPaul's Drag Race soon.

2017 Reading: Dracula

#3 A book of letters

So, why in the hell do most movie depictions of Dracula (look at you, Coppola!) portray Lucy as this attention whoring slut-bag? Seriously, she was the nicest most sincere and innocent character. I just don't get it. But, whatever.

So, pretty much little to no actual Dracula in the book. I guess it was okay. I wonder where everyone got this idea of a charismatic, sexy goth man that is Count Dracula, when in actuality, there's hardly a description of him at all and NO mention of interaction with females except to feed and even that is not described in any kind of depth.

Where's the Gary Oldman stud-muffin in purple glasses seducing everyone in sight? Where's the Gerard Butler in the long flowing coat, giving lopsided smirks to unsuspecting scantily clad women in record stores? Where is Frank Langella with his soft lighting and soft-core porn? Christopher Lee with his intense stare? Bela Lugosi with his charming accent and witty compliments?

2017 Reading: Three Sundays in a Week

#34 A book with a month or day of the week in the title

I know this was a very short story, but it was the only thing even remotely interesting that I could find with a month or day in the title. Plus, Edgar Allan Poe. Come on.

Funny little story with a funny little ending. Short and sweet. A nice way for me to try and catch up to my goal.

2017 Reading: Treasury of Norse Mythology

I will pretty much pick up any and all books about Norse Mythology that I find.

Especially ones that actually say that Odin was a douchebag. Which he was. The end.

2017 Reading: The Bees

#21 A book from a nonhuman perspective

I loved this book. I honestly could not point out one specific thing that makes me love it. I just love it.

And it blew my mind that this all took place in such a short amount of time. Like, I know on some scientific level that bees only have a certain lifespan, but this book read like it was set through years of this one bee's life even though it only last about 6 weeks or less.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone willing to pick it up.
