The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia

Gentle reader, will you join me on a trip into the hills and hollers of West Virginia? Into the midst of Boone County where there resides a clan of infamous hillbillies known as the Whites? Will you examine the festering branches of a moldering and rotted family tree to examine where society can go so very, very wrong? If yes, then I sincerely hope that you've had all of your shots because we're going in.

Cannonball Read II: In My Pants is OVAH

This is a few days late, but CBR II ended on November 1st. One year and I managed to read and review 62 books. Phew! Of course, that's nothing compared to some other people (Jen K.), but I'm proud of myself anyway. I don't know the final tally for everyone, but I know that a lot of Pajibans read a lot of books and wrote a shit-ton of reviews. Hell, admin's kid wrote a review of a book she read for the CBR.

How many books have you read this past year?

CBR Book#62: Waking the Witch by Kelley Armstrong

I've returned to Kelley Armstrong's writing with her latest novel, and the only one I had not yet read. This one centers on a new narrator, twenty-one year old Savannah Levine. The daughter of a half-demon witch and a sorcerer takes on her first investigation without the help of her guardian, witch Paige Winterbourne, or Paige's husband, Lucas Cortez.

CBR Bok#62: Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void by Mary Roach

I'm not sure if anyone is reading this, so I'm not sure that anyone has noticed: I get obsessed with things for a bit before moving on to something else. Book series, authors, movies, actors, songs, television shows, whatever. So when I requested Mary Roach's book Bonk, I also requested this book so I could binge on Mary Roach. It's just how I roll.

CBR Book#61: Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex by Mary Roach

I love Mary Roach. It was with great curiosity and high recommendations that I read her book Stiff. I was not disappointed. I looked for her books every time that I visited the library before realizing that I would need to specifically request her books and make the library ship them to me. So I did. Once again, I'm glad that I read a book by Mary Roach.
