52 books

Inspired by pal Dana's commitment two years ago, I have decided to read 52 books in the next 12 months. Rather than wait for January, I started December 1. Since I should have more slack time with my extra days off for the holidays, I figured I could get a jump start.

First up: Dear Catastrophe Waitress by Brendan Halpin

I read a review of this novel in a UUA magazine; one of the main characters is Unitarian and his faith plays a role in the story. I enjoyed the book, and am interested to see what else he has written. There were definitely some holes in the character development, but it was a nice light read. Sort of chick lit but including the guy's perspective. Anyone who has dated a musician (who hasn't?) and had a song written about them (who hasn't?), may find this book especially amusing.

hey-o! I re-read my old blog and it wasn't quite as lame as i used to think it was - i should post.

I was thinking about this exact thing yesterday, walking thru the skywalk on lunch break.

My goal was only 50 books - I built in vacation.

har.

McLovin is a riot, btw. I bailed on the movie, but cute reference.
