There is nothing more irritating than having mislaid a book. This is why some books on my ‘currently reading’ shelf on GoodReads have been there for months. (Ok, in one case, years. That one I found. I’m finishing it tomorrow.)
I cannot find one of my books anywhere. Starting to worry I accidentally turned it in to the book exchange before I finished it.
Does anyone else have this problem? Just me? Thought so. *sigh*
Not that she particularly needs me defending her.
Woke up this morning to headlines on Twitter “Beyonce Slammed For Sampling Shuttle Tragedy” and “Beyonce: Sampling the Sounds of Tragedy for Pop Music“. “Inappropriate in the extreme.”
Beyonce chose to start a song on her new album with the following words: Flight controllers here looking very carefully at the situation. Obviously a major malfunction.
It sounds pretty dire. Sampling sounds from the Challenger
disaster? Not cool, you might think.
I suppose I should thank GoodReads, for making it possible for me to not only keep track of everything* I’ve read this year, but also giving me a handy way to show people. That said, going by the numbers I have done markedly less reading this year than in the past few years. Either I have mucked up and forgotten to add a bunch of books, or Candy Crush cut into reading time a lot more than I realized.
*Everything except re-reads. There’s somewhere between a dozen and two dozen of those.
I expect there will be a lot of fussing around with the layout of this site over the next few days, and I wanted something to look at other than the generic ‘Hello, World!’ post. So, hello, world, and welcome to my tiny corner of the net.
