Covering All Media Platforms With My Mighty Words

A friend inquired as to whether I had "bragged" (the idea!) about going to a Stevie Nicks concert on every social media platform. I thought about it, and the answer was that while I had indeed spoken of it on facebook, twitter, google+, gchat and spotify, I had not mentioned it on my book blog. So let's just remedy that up right now.

I SAW STEVIE NICKS IN CONCERT LAST NIGHT AND IT WAS AMAAAAAZING.


There were many people dressed like this, only not pulling it off quite so well

How does this relate to books? Excellent question. Yes. Well...yes.

Ah-ha! Interviews count as reading too, right? Totally. Let's not be all snobbish and only stick with "book" books.

Here, I've gone through a very thorough website (I didn't go through it thoroughly, but the site itself is impressively thorough) and found what I'm going to assume is the best interview, based on the fact it's the only one I clicked on.


This is from 1982, which probably means she was high as a kite the whole time. What fun indeed! There are also lovely quotes such as "My ballet teacher believes that my head was cut off in another life, too. I totally give with my body except for my neck."

Oh, 1982 Stevie. And to be honest, probably Right At This Very Moment Stevie, too. But she's one of those people who, if she said that, you'd probably nod enthusiastically. "Totally! I see that! Why else would you be hesitant with your head? It defies any other explanation. I LOVE YOU, STEVIE."

There's also Playboy asking "How do you maintain your cosmic connection considering the pressures of fame and wealth?" Oh, 1970s/'80s. You so crazy.

I tried looking up a New Yorker interview, but apparently that's never happened. So that was just me being ridiculous. Whatever, if I ran the New Yorker, we'd interview Stevie Nicks all the time. There'd be a weekly feature called How Stevie Feels About That, and it would be both awesome and hilarious, because it would ask her about things like those rubber-bracelets-shaped-like-things that were popular for a while. Silly Bandz. "How Stevie Feels About Silly Bandz." And each article would be an in-depth discussion. We'd occasionally bring in other people so they could have a dialogue, but it'd be people like Slavoj Žižek and Angela Merkel. I'd totally read that every week.

You hear that, magazines? You hire me as your editor, and you get that kind of gold. Think about it. Bam! Thought too long, opportunity's passed you by. It's a fast-paced industry. Gotta stay on top of things.

Harry Potter 2013 Readalong Signup Post of Amazingness and Jollity

Okay, people. Here it is. Where you sign up to read the entire Harry Potter series (or to reminisce fondly), starting January 2013, assuming we all survive the Mayan apocalypse. I don't think I'm even going to get to Tina and Bette's reunion on The L Word until after Christmas, so here's hopin'. You guys know how this works. Sign up if you want to. If you're new to the blog, know that we are mostly not going to take this seriously. And when we do take it seriously, it's going to be all Monty Python quotes when we disagree on something like the other person's opinion on Draco Malfoy. So be prepared for your parents being likened to hamsters. If you want to write lengthy, heartfelt essays, that is SWELL. But this is maybe not the readalong for you. It's gonna be more posts with this sort of thing: We're starting Sorceror's/Philosopher's Stone January 4th. Posts will be on Fridays. The first post will be some sort of hilar

Minithon: The Mini Readathon, January 11th, 2020

The minithon is upon us once more! Minithons are for the lazy. Minithons are for the uncommitted. Minithons are for us. The minithon lasts 6 hours (10 AM to 4 PM CST), therefore making it a mini readathon, as opposed to the lovely Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon and 24in48, both of which you should participate in, but both of which are a longer commitment than this, the Busy Watching Netflix person's readathon. By 'read for six hours' what's really meant in the minithon is "read a little bit and eat a lot of snacks and post pictures of your books and your snacks, but mostly your snacks." We like to keep it a mini theme here, which mainly means justifying your books and your snacks to fit that theme. Does your book have children in it? Mini people! Does it have a dog! Mini wolf! Does it have pencils? Mini versions of graphite mines! or however you get graphite, I don't really know. I just picture toiling miners. The point is, justify it or don't

How to Build a Girl Introductory Post, which is full of wonderful things you probably want to read

Acclaimed (in England mostly) lady Caitlin Moran has a novel coming out. A NOVEL. Where before she has primarily stuck to essays. Curious as we obviously were about this, I and a group of bloggers are having a READALONG of said novel, probably rife with spoilers (maybe they don't really matter for this book, though, so you should totally still read my posts). This is all hosted/cared for/lovingly nursed to health by Emily at As the Crowe Flies (and Reads) because she has a lovely fancy job at an actual bookshop ( Odyssey Books , where you can in fact pre-order this book and then feel delightful about yourself for helping an independent store). Emily and I have negotiated the wonders of Sri Lankan cuisine and wandered the Javits Center together. Would that I could drink with her more often than I have. I feel like we could get to this point, Emily INTRODUCTION-wise (I might've tipped back a little something this evening, thus the constant asides), I am Alice. I enjoy
