2015 Reading: Petals on the Wind

I have no idea why I even bothered to read this book. I also don't know why I went ahead and ordered the third one in the series. I don't know what it is about this series, but I kind of just love hearing about the pain of the family and seeing the older girl (now the ONLY girl, spoiler) make such BAD decisions.

On to the next one, I suppose. Eventually.

2015 Reading: Dirty Daddy

I love Bob Saget. I think he is hilarious and witty and I could actually just listen to him forever.

This book was exactly what I wanted it to be: crude humor, a little bit of insight, and  sexy stories about John Stamos.

2014 Reading: A Royal Kiss

Oh look, someone published their Mary-Sue fic.

2014 Reading: Crackpot

The full title of this book (aptly so, I might add) is Crackpot: The Obsessions of John Waters.

I loved this book because it made me feel better about the little things in my life that I take joy in. Like office supplies, serial killers, and Schadenfreude.

Rather than being a comprehensive story, this book is actually just different sections where John talks about different things: growing up in Baltimore, how much he loves shitty film, and how he thinks tabloids are the only papers worth reading.

It was nice to get a little incite into his brain. Yu can find the inspiration for some of his movies in the stories that he chooses to tell, like Hairspray and Cecil B. Demented. He also encourages people to just go nuts and do whatever the fuck you want, because then at least you're not just wasting away into nothing.

According to John, it's better to dead than be boring.

2014 Reading: Freak Show

I want to make this book into a movie. I am not even kidding. I could SEE this movie happening in my eyes as I read. I even cast it (though I must admit I was casting it with people from Teen Wolf, but no one can prove that).

At first, I was a little exasperated because the main character might as well have just been a younger James St. James from Disco Bloodbath, but then he actually started to grow on me. This character WAS James St. James, but a newer, younger version who grew up in today's world. However, he's still very much a club kid, which you really don't see very much these days so you kind of have to stretch the imagination a little bit.

I wasn't expecting a happy ending, but I got one anyway, so that was nice and gave me the warm fuzzier and whatever.

This was book #60 of the year and I am so happy that I've made it this far.

2014 Reading: Deliverance

So, four guys with extreme ennui go into the woods...

...stuff happens. Butt stuff.

Then people die.

This book was very slow going for me. It took me a while to get into it and I found that I really didn't want to finish it once I started. BUT! I soldiered on and finished it. Now I can finally watch the movie.

2014 Reading: Every You, Every Me

"You know one me. Just like I know one you. But you can't know every me. And I can't know every you."

This was just a short little read that I picked up in the young adult section of the library. 

I like the scratched out bits, like the character was writing out these thoughts and kept having to change the wording around to fit the mood, or keep some of his thoughts to himself rather than let them out on the page.

Naturally, the premise of a character we never get to meet can be a hard one to understand, but I think it fits the randomness of the story. Plus, that opening quote... Wow. I never thought of that before, but I know it's true. For everyone.
