2018 Reading: The Voice at 3:00 A.M.

#8 A book with a time of day in the title

I read a lot of Charles Simic when I was taking my poetry classes in undergrad and I found him very interesting. I've had this book sitting on the shelf for a while and figured this would be the best time to break it out and see if it was work keeping or not.

Some of the poems were so-so, but there were a select few that made me pull out my little post-its so that I could go back and appreciate them later. All-in-all, I think this one has a permanent place on my shelf.

2018 Reading: Lady Killers: Deadly Women Throughout History

#43 A book that was being read by a stranger in a public place

Okay, so despite working at a public library, I never actually SEE anyone reading. This is not uncommon because reasons. So I ventured out and found a NYC blog that asks people in subways and stuff what they are reading and I figured that would be a good place to browse. 

Saw this:

and immediately knew that is what I would be reading.

This had a few ladies I was already privy to, but it also had some women that I had never heard of so it was a good read. Informative, entertaining, and a relatively quick read (when I wasn't busy with school work and could actually sit down to enjoy it).
