I read the first one, I am a librarian and I sort-of consider it part of my job to keep up on the currently popular books. It was terrible. I do appreciate the sentiment behind the "at least they are reading" thought, but it actually depressed me that so many people were raving about something so terrible. The book needed an editor and a thesaurus. I haven't been blogging enough to have an informative TTT, but <a href="http://taftandco.wordpress.com/2012/08/07/top-ten-tuesday-most-revealing-posts/" rel="nofollow">here it is</a> nonetheless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640540060819179935.post-91176487918645663872012-08-07T17:26:13.979-07:002012-08-07T17:26:13.979-07:00The "Why I'm Not a Writer" post defi...The "Why I'm Not a Writer" post definitely made me LOL. That is so me, too, except for I could probably just go ahead and rename it "Why I'm Not a Writer, and also Can't Accomplish Much of Anything Productive, Either." A constant theme on my blog is how I didn't get around to doing this or that because I wandered off to look at shiny things. ;-)<br /><br />Excellent list - your blog is new to me, but I already *do* feel like I kind of know you!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751131767729086158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640540060819179935.post-85537714085929527682012-08-07T10:16:49.323-07:002012-08-07T10:16:49.323-07:00First of all, I LOVE your bookshelves!

Gawd, that's all my library is missing - a ladder - but my shelves aren't as tall :( <br /><br />Secondly, amen to the 50 Shades of Grey post. Working in a book store part time, this book infuriates me. Women come in to buy it and they don't even know what it's about. They just say "my friend says I need to read this book...", and I want to say "well your friend is wrong". The book club I'm part of has switched November's book to 50 Shades...I always read every book, because otherwise, what's the point of being in a book club, but now....I just don't think I can do it. *sigh*Brie @ A Slice of Briehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02445361407533018855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640540060819179935.post-13739140022610449322012-08-07T09:08:35.424-07:002012-08-07T09:08:35.424-07:00You are hilarious!

Apparently pretty durable! <br /><br />That is some serious running by the way. Nice job! I did something similar this year by running two marathons in two weeks and now I'm enjoying my 3-4 milers again. <br /><br />I look forward to reading.Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05240911855607711644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640540060819179935.post-45590845822041121432012-08-06T23:43:33.718-07:002012-08-06T23:43:33.718-07:00Ditto about FSoG - I get so many hits on my post w...Ditto about FSoG - I get so many hits on my post where I basically can this book!

Running and I are on a little bit of a break, but I ran something like 12 halves in 15 months. <br /><br />My bookshelves are actually the Billy ones from Ikea, with an extension shelf on each. They aren't the best, but when we got our first ones five years ago they fit our price range and we're too cheap to start replacing them right now. Eventually we'll go for built ins, but for now they totally work!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02287501540207945678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640540060819179935.post-80745801548985474382012-08-06T22:00:31.523-07:002012-08-06T22:00:31.523-07:00Great list pulling back the curtain on the blogger...Great list pulling back the curtain on the blogger.

Can you tell me how tall your bookshelves are? I'm having a really hard time finding that balance in my bookshelf search. Not outrageously expensive/fairly well made/nice and tall. We won't talk about the fact that I'm a runner...Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05240911855607711644noreply@blogger.com
