“I could not stop talking because now I had started my story, it wanted to be finished. We cannot choose where to start and stop. Our stories are the tellers of us. ” - Chris Cleave, Little Bee
This novel is beautifully written and absolutely worth reading. At times it is heart-wrenching and violently graphic; at others it is humorous and hopeful. Little Bee tells the story of a Nigerian immigrant seeking asylum in the UK from oil conflicts in her homeland. As the story builds, the character dynamics pull you in and I promise you’ll finish the novel in just a few days.
My tongue wants all the parts the books are covering as well as the parts that they aren’t as well.
I got a ‘D’ cup at family dinner tonight so I can match with my friends! I’ve spent the night laughing and downing sangria. And now I’m going to finish reading Towards a New Architecture by Le Corbusier… Uh. Yeah.
Reading makes immigrants of us all. It takes us away from home, but more important, it finds homes for us everywhere. ~Jean Rhys

This is my current reading endeavor. Thus far, I’m really enjoying it. I wish that I could have her passion for food/cooking again. I’m back to my same routine using the same old foods and to be honest, I’m getting bored.
“Once you start cooking, one things leads to another. A new recipe is as exciting as a blind date. A new ingredient, heaven help me, is an intoxicating affair.”
Author Barbara Kingsolver and her family abandoned the industrial food pipeline to live a rural life—vowing that, for one year, they’d only buy food raised in their own neighborhood, grow it themselves, or learn to live without it. Part memoir, part journalistic investigation, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle is an entralling narrative that will open your eyes in a hundred new ways to an old truth: You are what you eat.
My period starts the day after I begin reading The Handmaid’s Tale. I think my body is trying to tell me something.
Dylan, I refuse that you bear children this month!
Interesting coincidence, but bad timing.
Offred is a national resource. She is a handmaid: viable ovaries make her a precious commodity in the Republic of Gilead, where the birthrate has plummeted to dangerous levels. Assigned to a Commander whose wife cannot produce, Offred’s purpose is onefold: to breed.
