Bathwater Blog: February 2010

Omg, this commercial made me cry. Is it my hormones or is this just really good advertising?

About me:

I'm Breanne.

I'm a librarian, an aspiring locavore, piano player, french teacher, art historian, web developer, cat wrangler, seamstress, cook, crafter, museum lover, horseback rider, picture-taker, harmonizer, gamer, cosplayer, blog writer, and mother of two. I like to figure out how things work and try out lots of different hobbies. I also like to pretend that my bathtub is a sensory deprivation tank.

The Rosie Project

by Graeme Simsion

I stayed up 300% later than is rationally acceptable to finish this book for the following reason: I'm in love with it. If Sheldon Cooper decided to write a book about trying to find the ideal mate while inadvertently falling for an "inc...

The Program

by Suzanne Young

This was a strange read because the opening chapters were really off-putting for me, and then once I got past that I could hardly put this down. I can understand why the opening chapters are the way they are, they set the stage for her ...

The Warrior Heir

by Cinda Williams Chima

This is a fun modern-day fantasy series for teens. I think teen guys would enjoy reading this. I liked the main character and the world the author created.
