Dude, I love To Kill A Mockingbird. It’s one of the only ‘classics’ I’ve ever read, even though it’s not classic as such. (Or is it? It’s not like Austen, is what I think I mean).
Looking forward to your thoughts on Beautiful Malice. I’m planning to read that one next week. You had a great week eh?

Yes, it’s a Classic. A US one anyhow. My husband read it in high school (Canadians we are) but I didn’t. I am 20 pages in and then started internetting because I was too hot to read. Will read more before bed!
You’re the cutest!
LOVE your hair!
Love the quick video!

It was so not quick – it was JUST under 10 minutes with creative editing. ha!
My husband called me Felicia Day on Speed in this video.

Ok I didn’t know who Felicia Day was so I had to look it up but: OMG your hubby is right. You do talk like her. She’s hysterical too. I love it!
So do you watch her series the Guild? Is it good? Should I?

Why the hell would you need more than one hockey stick? Do your bunnies have their own team?
OMG I KNEW IT!!! I heard the music in the background and I was trying to figure out why it sounded so freaking familiar! Heh! I hope you won’t get sick by Bulletproof and try to shot yourself with a bullet
P.S. To Kill a Mockingbird–loved that book. One of the few school required reads that was good
<3 <3 <3 <3 your voice! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
P.P.S. I'm surprised (delightfully of course) that you said my name correct the first time xD I can't say that to many people lol

Darn you! Until you tweeted about that song I had never even heard of it and then in the next 24 hours I heard it 3 times! It followed me around and I had to buy it off iTunes!! Ha!
Er.. thanks for the voice comment?
I feel like I sound like a boy!
I tried to get your name right! I was sure I’d heard someone (maybe Kristi) say it was that way once! Go, me!
Great mailbox! I got To Kill a Mockingbird this week too. Somehow I have never read it. My mailbox is here. Happy reading!

I always felt like I must have been the only person in the world to have not read that book My admission on my blog has led to many comments making me feel a lot less alone!
You know, for as much of an avid reader that I am, I’ve never read “To Kill A Mockingbird”.
Into the Wild Nerd Yonder is one of my favorite reads and if you haven’t read it yet, you will thoroughly enjoy it. It made me laugh so hard I thought I was going to wake the whole house up!
Loved it! Will be back!
i’ve seen the owl keeper around a lot!! Enjoy!
Memoirs is amazing, it’s one of the first books I read when I was getting into YA, it got me hooked!
Also congrats on receiving Beautiful Malice, I’ve been leading up to reading it off my bookshelf.
HAHA Really kool Vlog Cat!

Brossard!
Of course the McGill Education faculty has a pretty good selection, I’m just too lazy to walk from my office up that stupid hill to get to their building and right now you can’t inter-library deliver when you want to check books out. If I get desperate I’ll walk it though!

I was using the three Montréal-Nord librairies and they fail. The more recent I was able to find were the original edition of Vampires Diairies from the 90s hahaha
They did order City of Bones (in french) when I suggested them to, but it took like 6 months?
So I gave up on the librairie system.
I haven’t tried the librairies in Rosemont since I moved, I’m guessing the St-Leonard one must’nt be too bad since they have a bigger english community
Great books you got this week. Hope you enjoy reading them all.
you got some awesome reads – i hope you enjoy them all
you can find my IMM on My Blog
the bucolic plague looks like it would be a good one.
nice week you had. I bought myself a book.
I always wanted to read “To kill a mmockingbird” but i never got around to it. i like to read classics and every year i read few of them. looking forward to your review. Also the bucolic plague looks like its going to be good too.
