The Sunday Post (11)

This Week

I'm in the home stretch for finals.  I'm trying to finish up a 25 page paper and a 15 page paper and then I've got a month to chillax and apply for jobs before my final semester.  I will soon be (hopefully) one of the few, the quiet, the bookish.  Also known as a librarian :P.  It is rather difficult to contain my excitement.

This Week
Randi and I are getting very close to the end of the semester.  It's still crazy busy but I'm coming up for air and taking care of the blog a wee bit.  I left Bloomington behind for glorious Des Moines, Iowa and I feel amazing!  Here's what we had this week!

The Sunday Post (9)

This Week 

Becky: This week has been intense.  I've actually been doing my homework in almost every spare moment and have shunted reading off to the side.  I've also been working on a side project of coming up with a binder full of story-time/book-list/program ideas so I can hit the ground running when I get out of school.  I squeezed in some movies with my friends and hope to start some creative writing again soon.  Luckily I have a few reviews stored up :).  

Randi:
This week went by in a blur! I took two super-high-stakes exams (Praxis II exams), went to a baby shower, and did lots of homework. I didn't get a chance to do much reading, though I'm working on a David Sedaris collection for class and just started The Probability of Miracles. Two weeks until Thanksgiving break, and then hopefully I'll have some time for free reading again! I also can't wait for elections to be over, so I'm looking forward to that this week. Have a great week, folks!

Randi and I take a look at some of the books we've read recently.


This week's Top Ten is Kick-ass Heroines selected by Randi.  See what her other nine picks were!

Help me decide what I should read next!  Turns out my friends are demanding I read We Need to Talk About Kevin on the double, so help me pick out of The Tiger's Wife or The Song of Achilles.


Randi and I went head to head reviewing the night circus and gave it an unprecedented double 5 star review.  See why we adored it.
