Top Ten Tuesday: Things I'm Thankful For

  Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by  That Artsy Reader Girl . Every week they have a different theme for bloggers to post their top tens about, and this week, I've got... THINGS I'M THANKFUL FOR 1) Other people cooking (most of) the Thankgiving meal I'm going to shove in my face. I have a very small family (which is the best!) so I only have to make one thing this year, and that's: Parmesan garlic cauliflower mash. Fuck. yes. 2) Whatever the heck I ate or drank this morning to make me feel all energies. It wasn't coffee. Maybe it was potato oles?  3) Cardigans. I hate sweaters. They feel constricting and stupid. But cardigans are all the fuzzy and warmth of a sweater in a convenient easy to slip off blanket-with-sleeves. 4) Cheese. Is there any dish cheese can't improve?

Top Ten Tuesday: Changes In My Reading Life

  Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by  That Artsy Reader Girl . Every week they have a different theme for bloggers to post their top tens about, and this week, I've got... Changes In My Reading Life 1. I DNF stuff. I used to feel guilty about DNFing books, but then my TBR crept over 2,000 and hasn't quit, so now if I can't get into a book, out it goes. 2. I read more contemporary romance now. I used to be all historicals all the time, but ever since I've been reading buddies with Elley , I've been branching out into contemporaries, and it's rather awesome.  3. So many more audiobooks! I didn't really discover the joy of audiobooks until after college. The first one I tried was The Chaperone by Laura Moriarty  (phenomenal narrator!) and since I drive a lot for work, and to visit friends in the cities, I am rarely without an audiobook on my phone or on CD.  4. Readathon parties! I've written about these before. Grab your favorite readers,
