Today is that special kind of day when Monday and the first day of the month happen to coincide. Happy June everyone! Fortunately, I have been out of school for over a week now, so Mondays really don't have to be any different than the weekend. There are definitely some things I should take care of this summer, but for now, I can be the mistress of my own time. :) Since this is the first of the month, I listened to the new episode of Night Vale. I hope to post a review of it sometime later. Needless to say, I enjoyed it more than the last episode.
Normally, after a grueling semester, I would be spending my time laying around exhausted and wondering what I'm doing with my life. While I have fallen prey to some of that, I have managed to be reasonably productive. I finished Rebbecca By Daphne Du Maurier the day after my semester ended. I had heard that it was inspired by Jane Eyre, but it didn't live up to that novel in my eyes. It was still interesting and much darker than Jane Eyre. Then, I read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy for the first time because Twitter told me it was Towel Day. It was a wonder to behold. I also read Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis and In the Beginning: A New interpretation of Genesis by Karen Armstrong for some more serious reading. I liked both, but I had issues with them. I downloaded 12 Books You Can't Miss at Bookcon 2015 for the sole reason of reading the preview of the Night Vale novel, but I ended up reading all of the previews to amuse myself. As it turns out, I'm interested in reading about half of them when they come out. I posted some reviews on my GoodReads account, but I may repost them here as well.
Right now, I'm reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and The House of Hades From the Heroes of Olympus series. I hope to do some more writing this summer, too.
The Modern Language Association has taught me to italicize the titles of all novels, but I got lazy halfway through this entry and gave up on that. ...I'm such a bad English major!
