Hi. My name is Anastasia Rose Steele. This is totally an actual person name and not made up in any way. I go by Ana, as in pro-Ana, because we share a sense of destructive self-loathing. Anyhoodle, can I just tell you about this totally charming guy I met? I hated him the first time I saw him. It was love at first sight. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. First of all, with my trim frame and my luscious brown hair and my ability to ensnare a Fortune 500 CEO simply by tripping over my own […]

Well, I guess the red capes had to come from somewhere

Previously on Supernatural… Sarah’s death, Abraham’s death, Isaac’s marriage to Rebekah: the best little camel waterer in Texas, and sibling rivalry, as per the usual. In this installment… Patty: There was a severe famine so Isaac hightailed it to Gerar. God told him to stay put and not to go to Egypt and that if he obeyed, he would be rewarded with God’s standard offer of blessings and descendants. Now, stop me if you’ve heard this one but Isaac tells everyone in town that Rebekah is his sister (because of her great beauty, he was afraid they would kill him […]

Mama’s real upset now.

milk and honey by rupi kaur

In the first country I lived in we had these small packets of liquorice called GaJol. They were my favourite, because I like liquorice, but also because on the back of each packet was a small joke, a word play or a fancy quote. Sometimes I would tear one off and keep them, but most of the time I just read them and threw them away, and the ones I kept would disappear as well – into the cracks of furniture and pockets and books. You see where this is going right? Milk and Honey is not a collection of […]

I can’t believe this is how I am starting my very first Cannonball Read. I feel like my next review will have to be “War and Peace” for you guys to actually take me seriously. In Russian, obviously. But before I pretend to be all respectable and stuff, let’s dive into some gay plane sex! Shout out to Patty Smith for loaning me the book, and getting this whole mess started. Honestly, I was tempted to just post excerpts from the book with insightful comments like WTF?!?, Seriously????, and But it’s a PLANE!!, but I’m going to do my best to write an […]

Housekeeping? More like hoarding, if you ask me.

Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson

First, a confession: I don’t mind darker family dramas. I don’t mind dysfunction in literature. I really don’t mind literature that is not light and happy. BUT I CAN’T HANDLE WEIRD HOARDING ECCENTRIC BEHAVIORS. This book kind of broke me, can you tell? Ruthie Stone and her sister Lucille have lived a tumultuous, unstable life. The novel begins with the death of their grandfather, who was killed in an accident when the train he was on went off the tracks and slid into a lake near the town of Fingerbone, Washington. It affected Ruthie’s grandmother, mother, and aunts, who were […]
