    I am so torn! I really want to join in on this read-along, but I really want to read the first two books in Divergent before the Insurgent movie comes out this month. : (
    I think Divergent and Insurgent will win. But I will be thinking longingly about the fun you are all having! Maybe I will eventually pop in and join the fun.

      Aw, well, don't feel too badly--you can still join in the fun even if you aren't reading it:D

      And I'm pretty sure this read-along will last through the end of May, so you'll have plenty of time to catch up if you want to.

      Arwen, thanks for the shout-out! I posted the first chapter post this afternoon :-)

      Yeah, I may join in later. Hopefully I will get through these books quickly and then I can start on that one. I have never read it before, so would be fun!

Comments make my day. Seriously. I'd be so happy if you commented. :)

I've gotten really bad about replying in a timely manner, but it's always my intention to do so eventually. (Even though it doesn't always happen. ;))

A Look at the Wardrobe of...{an Evenstar}

I've happened upon a new idea for a blog series, that I'm planning on keeping in the back of my mind for those times when I'm suffering for a good post idea.  In this new series, I will pick a movie character whose wardrobe I particularly enjoy or think interesting, and I'll devote a blog post to the analyzation of each character's wardrobe.  Sound fun?  Alrighty then, let's get started!:D First on the list to be examined is Arwen Undomiel, who, aside from being my favorite female character in The Lord of the Rings , also possesses my favorite movie wardrobe.  I'm making this up as I go along, but I suppose I shall just jump into examining Arwen's dresses. #1:  The White Dress Pictures for this one were kind of hard to find, so…I do apologize:-/  This dress is beautiful and simple, folds of white cloth draped tastefully, accessorized by a gorgeous necklace;) This outfit is very soft and lovely and is very well-suited to the scene...

Lark Rise to Candleford, Seasons 1-4 {review}

Well, darlin's, here 't'is!  A review of the TV series Lark Rise to Candleford .   SO!  I finished the final season the other night, and am here to discuss my thoughts;)  (Spoilers will be sprinkled indiscriminately!  Read at your own risk;D) LRtC centers around young Laura Timmins, a girl from the wee hamlet of Lark Rise, who moves to the  more affluent town of Candleford to work in her aunt's (or was she just a cousin?) post office.  Miss Dorcas Lane is probably the wealthiest person in Candleford and holds a lot of sway with the townspeople.  With Laura's advent into Candleford, the two communities begin to be intertwined. The show's basic plots aren't my absolute favorites, but I love how relaxed the show is, and how marvelous the characters are.  (Because they just ARE.)  It's a cozy series, but at the same time there are moments of rather intense drama.   I'm not feeling extremely eloquent for reviewin...

All of Virginia Woolf's novels, ranked.

"April is upon us, pitiless and young and harsh," as Edna St. Vincent Millay so justly expressed it, and I can think of no better time to dive into the work of my beloved Virginia Woolf.  Woolf is probably my top favorite author at this point, so I wanted her to have at least one dedicated post on this blog.  And, since I've officially read all of her novels now, a ranking post naturally seemed the way to go. Here, then, are my thoughts — in a few nutshells — on Woolf's long-form fiction, from the worst of it to the best. 😍 (General content warning for all of these books:  As you might expect from literature of this time period, there are, unfortunately, throwaway racial slurs or instances of casual racism peppered throughout most of them.) # 10.   Night and Day   (1919) “When you consider things like the stars, our affairs don't seem to matter very much, do they?” Babe, no.  If Olivia Rishell is telling you that you're taking parlor politics too far, then...
