Reading Rambo

I have Feelings. Feelings about books I've read this year. So without further ado, let's do a Look Back on 2012 Because Tomorrow the World's Gonna End and I Might Not Have Access to Blogger.


I did not read a lot this year. I WAS BUSY OKAY. Also I was super-invested in Doctor Who, The L Word, Once Upon a Time and everything Sue Perkins was in (which was a lot). Also I went to New York twice, Toronto once, and met five internet friends in person. So NO READIN' FOR ALICE.

Except for some things that I am going to mention and not mention right now.
What did I LOVE this year? Ragnarök by A.S. Byatt, Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt, The Woman in Whiteby Our Fearless Leader, and Attachments by Rainbow Rowell (yes, those were all this year). You should read ALL OF THEM if you haven't. What's kind of hilarious is I think most of you have, because we flail over books and then we all read them.

What did I HATE this year and you should …

Some people would say I already did a 2011 wrap-up, but to them I say IT IS STILL ONLY THE 21ST LEAVE ME ALONE.
I'm gonna do a top 10 list, 'cause I love that shit.
Best Books I Read in 2011
I'm not gonna think too hard about this, so it's probably at least kind of incorrect. But trust that these books were all awesome and should be read.
1. The Witch of Blackbird Pond - Yeah, I didn't read it when I was little. Yeah, it's still awesome if you read it in your 20s. Yeah, I called the local library of Wethersfield, CT and asked if they had any kind of sites to see in their town related to the book. 2. Middlesex - If you don't know by now that everyone thinks this book is awesome, why are you reading book blogs, because you obviously don't absorb information. 3. Will Grayson, Will Grayson - Yes yes, it's very good. 4. Sophie's Choice - There's no way I'm not listing this. 5. The Family Fang - This has just kind of stuck with me? I really liked it. …
