I think this might be the book I’ve been most locked into throughout this course, I was hood up, headphones on, in the dark for two hours straight. I found myself rooting for the criminals, in particular Brignone and Dorda, which is maybe a bit screwed up of me, especially as their kill count grew […]
First thought on this book was omg it’s only 100 pages. Two pages in… these are going to be the longest 100 pages of writing I’ve ever read. But I made my roommate read a page and she said she liked it so maybe I’m uncultured. It’s making my head hurt. Wow, I just finished […]
I’m feeling a frenzy of emotions right now, I don’t know what to write about. Maybe because I’m in forestry where they don’t believe in heating??? My hands are frozen but I’m kinda sweating too? And I’m hungry. Really craving baby octopuses right now but I’ll settle for some Tims hash browns. First thoughts were […]
This book left me feeling quite despairing. I knew we were going to lose M’man Tine as soon as things started looking up for José but it still devastated me. She fought so hard for that boy, and he in turn was kept going with the hope of making her life better when he finished […]

I’m currently on the 7th page of Proust’s Combray and it’s making me feel quite sleepy. All this talk of sleep is making me wish I was in my bed instead of at school. Now I’m on page 11, and considering having a little nap. I feel I should be grateful for the ability to […]
Hi! My name is Cat. I already wrote this once but I accidentally deleted it because I’m technologically incompetent. Which is not a good sign for my future blog posts… I’m a psychology student in my fourth year, hopefully graduating this semester unless I’ve really screwed something up. I loved reading when I was growing […]
