Most people are pretty nonchalant about the fact that I’m a reader. When I tell them how many books I read on average, they’re either like “Oh wow, good for you!” or “Holy crap, I wish I could get into reading” or even sometimes just look at me weird and nod like they don’t get it. But every once in a while I’ll happen on someone who is all “reading is dumb why would you do that.” Case in point: […]
Honestly, this is more of a rant than a discussion. I’ve bellyached many times about people spelling my name wrong, and I’m sure some of you have seen it. For some ridiculous reason, people at work STILL call me “Jess” or spell my name “Jessie” despite me correcting them a hundred f*cking times. I seriously think they do it on purpose to piss me off. IT WORKS. Okay, maybe that’s just a tad harsh. I wouldn’t really stab someone. Anyway. It […]
Yep, that’s right. Quadruplets. A while back, Octavia did a discussion about book twins (I’m hers :D). I’m going to do my own, expanding on that because I now have 3 of them! Book Quadruplet #1 Ashley @ Nose Graze. Ashley was my first ever book twin! Out of all of them, I think her and I have the most similar tastes. For a couple of years now she’s always been the first place I go when I want to decide whether or […]
I want to reply to every single comment I get. I really do. But I just…don’t. What happens the most is: I look at a comment on my blog. I can’t think of anything to reply other than “thank you” or some lame agreement, not amounting to more than a sentence, so I don’t reply. Instead I go to my commenter’s blog…but then I can’t find anything that I have any thoughts about that are worth commenting either. So I just…don’t….comment. Is that bad? While I want to acknowledge every […]
I originally found this test over at Tempest Books (thanks for sharing, Miranda!), and thought it was so awesome I wanted to do a full post about my own results. I’ve always wondered how my reading speed compared to other readers! I know that I can finish a 300 page book in roughly 3 hours on average, but it was very interesting to see it broken down. Without further ado… (The first time I took the test I got 513 with 100% accuracy. […]
On my old Facebook page, back when I was still Auntie Spinelli Reads, I had nearly 1,000 likes. Then I had to start over. Now, despite having the new page for almost a year, I only have 166 likes. I’ve tried posting on the old page, tweeting, and posting on here. Nothing seems to help. My question is: Is there even any point? I’m honestly thinking of deleting my Facebook page altogether. It posts for me automatically when I publish a […]
