Dragons Love Tacos (by Adam Rubin)

Candelion · 11-29-2014, 03:43 PM

The Onion Magazine The Iconic Covers That Transformed An Undeserving World Just published, it may make a nice little gift for someone who enjoys The Onion's style of humour.

A sampling:

Actually, the funniest ones I didn't post as some might find them offensive...and I really don't want to start a whole thing.

I absolutely love Mind of a Chef, it's on Netflix. Got this awesome book from one of the performing chefs Sean Brock!!

It's super.

Also, I'm reading..

Snow Falling on Cedars

Just started this and I think it's going to be a good read.

I just finished two lesbian books: Running Back and Blue Hydrangea . I'm irritated when authors feel the need to put a evil male, lurking about, and causing mayhem in their books! I buy these books for pure escapism, evil men are the last thing I want to read about!

All the Light We Cannot See
by Anthony Doerr

The arc of this novel has tethered me to a long sweet wave that I cannot resist riding. Ok, enough poetic mush, but it's true...this book is damn good.

Well, you convinced me. I just added it to my library queue.

I am, of course, still waiting for Erik Larson's newest book which is due out in March, this coming spring ... Dead Awake (is the title, I think). Situated during the post-Edwardian era, and connecting with the history surrounding the Titanic, it's a story of factual events that transpired on the Lusitania (the ship that picked up the surviving passengers of the Titanic).

I've also been reading up on other companies, conducting miniature studies, of possible places for employment, in the near future.

Just started Finding Beauty in a Broken World by Terry Tempest Williams.

I'm pretty excited to have rediscovered this author, even though I'm only maybe 40 pages in. I first read Refuge when I was in college and I can say it was a seriously influential book to me (and a contributing force for me moving west). As it turns out my sister just started working/assisting Terry via a land conservation group and she recently sent the book to me.

The official blurb for Finding Beauty in a Broken World:
"Shards of glass can cut and wound or magnify a vision," Terry Tempest Williams tells us. "Mosaic celebrates brokenness and the beauty of being brought together." Ranging from Ravenna, Italy, where she learns the ancient art of mosaic, to the American Southwest, where she observes prairie dogs on the brink of extinction, to a small village in Rwanda where she joins genocide survivors to build a memorial from the rubble of war, Williams searches for meaning and community in an era of physical and spiritual fragmentation. In her compassionate meditation on how nature and humans both collide and connect, Williams affirms a reverence for all life, and constructs a narrative of hopeful acts, taking that which is broken and creating something whole.

Hitler's First Victims by Timothy Ryback.

Having visted Auschwitz & Birkenau in Poland, the Holocaust is something that
I continue to learn about. So hard to believe it was not that long ago.

The lover's secret by j.c reed

I'm a sucker for romance in books, eventhought this is more of a "boom boom" book.

"gray mountain", by john grisham

"lost in crazytown", by robert bryndza & jan bryndza

though vera diff'rent genres, both are really good reads...

homoe · 01-09-2015, 04:15 PM

Author Farran Smith Nehme :New York late 1980s. Ceinwen Reilly has just moved from Yazoo City, Mississippi, and she’s never going back, minimum wage job (vintage store salesgirl) and shabby apartment (Avenue C walkup) be damned.

Even though I earlier posted about just starting this book, wanted to give a quick update. Great writing, interesting characters, a mystery, and even a romance! Book was truly a gem!

homoe · 01-09-2015, 05:11 PM

I’ve just started the Rosie Effect and yes, it’s a continuance of the Rosie Project!

If you enjoy an anal retentive character, which is so well organized they must plan and calculates every event right down to the last minuscule, no doubt you’ll howl with laughter at Don. If your tastes in characters run more towards a free sprit, who flies by the seat of her pants, you’re going to love Rosie!

Currently reading The Descent Series By S M Reine someone turned me on to this author and I am loving it I have already finished two other of her series and really got hooked. She has a way of drawing you into the story and not letting go. I can not seem to put the books down
