What I'm Reading
Beauty by Robin McKinleyI've tried reading this book twice before, but could never get past the first three pages. Not a great hook. It's a really slow beginning but two friends have recommended this, so I'm going to push through.
Heartless by Marissa Meyer (audiobook)
The Queen of Hearts and I have some bad history. She threatened to chop off my head and I had nightmares. But I admit, this 'origin' story by the Lunar Chronicles author is very interesting, mostly because our future hothead is such a sweet, mellow girl. Every once in a while, though, she loses her cool and I start to see that terrifying woman.
In Such Good Company by Carol Burnett
I used to think I didn't like nonfiction but lately I've come to realize that I don't like dry nonfiction. Just like with fiction, I prefer my nonfiction books to have palatable personality, so I'm moving into memoirs.
In Real Life
I spent four dollars in the 'Retrocade' section of a local arcade. We're talking Asteroids, Centipede, Galaga, Q*bert, Ms. Pac Man, Donkey Kong, and Dig Dug. The whole time I felt like I was living in Pixels or Ready Player One. Plus, I totally managed to enter Level 3 on Q*bert. Since I don't easily pick up on video games, this is definitely a win. Next time I'm taking more money. I must ensure my name stays on the scoreboard.
New Additions
I'm watching my spending right now, but I did purchase a copy of 84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff and, yes, it's gorgeous.

Yay! A retro gaming system! I need to play some more retro games!

Retro games are awesome. I really feel like I need to get a retro look on when I hit the arcade next time though. Maybe put some Aquanet in my hair. Just live it up a little. XD
DeleteHa love old arcade games! Galaga... lol. I remember Joust too and when it was mentioned in Ready Player One I was geeked. :) A friend of mine who I don't see much (he lives out of state) visited once and we went to an arcade that had all the old games, and we dropped like $50. Pretty dumb but we had fun. :)
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking it was too bad this Retrocade didn't have Joust! I would love to give it a try. Hey, if you had fun, seems like money well spent. ^_^
DeleteOh I love old arcade games! Those are the only ones I consider myself good at. I haven't seen the blacklist but my husband loves that show.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful week!

Plus, there's just nothing as classy as an 8-bit game, is there? yeah, The Blacklist is definitely my current obsession, so I'd recommend it to anybody. XD
DeleteI love Blacklist. I really enjoyed Heartless and hope you are as well :) Have an awesome week!
ReplyDeleteYay, another Blacklist lover! You have a good week, too, Kimba!
