Title: dawn Author: kiyala Word Count: ~18,000 Read it here. I honestly didn’t intend to start shipping a new ship in this past week. Then I discovered 00Q, AKA the newest ship amongst the fanfiction fleet. If you this is your first time reading my fanfic posts, then I shall be up front: I love […]
MoreI, the Lit Nerd, am actually plowing through this summer reading list much quicker than I thought I would. I’ve gotten through more than half of Dan Brown’s Inferno and, although I get tired just reading about Langdon running around, I’m enjoying the ride. Like The Da Vinci Code or any of Brown’s other books, this […]
MoreOrlando Bloom, Ian McKellan, Peter Jackson and the crew are finishing up the last days of shooting for The Hobbit. That’s 15 years of LOTR based shooting coming to an end. Enjoy… xoxo TCD
MoreIt doesn’t really matter if you like audio books, or Thomas Hardy novels, or if you don’t give a flying saucer of shit about literature, because Alan Rickman reading anything will turn you into a metaphorical puddle of Jell-O. This man could read the phone book to me and I’d still get the shivers. So go on, […]
MoreI would post another apology about how every fic rec I give seems to be slash, but I’m really not sorry. Especially not today when the United States has finally gotten its act together and took a big step toward marriage equality. So, I’m not sorry at all, not one bit. I love love, gay […]
MoreIt’s easy to pick up a David Sedaris book and get lost in the French countryside, the witty banter, the family fun. I remember finding Dress your Family in Corduroy and Denim on my mother’s bookshelf and immediately being struck by the innate honesty in Sedaris’ voice and I’ve been hooked ever since. Sedaris writes in […]
MoreNext on the Lit Nerd’s Summer Reading List is Maya Angelou’s newest book, Mom & Me & Mom. If you’ve had the chance to read her first autobiography, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, you know that Angelou’s mother was an intense woman who shared a unique relationship with her daughter. Confession Collective Nerds: […]
MoreI’ve read Hamlet so many times that I usually have to replace my copy every year because it falls apart. I don’t even know why I bother reading it anymore; I’ve got it memorized (which, believe you me, is very handy if you ever complete a M.A. in English). Hamlet is possibly Shakespeare’s most well known play, and […]
MoreAuthor: Cassis Luna Read the story here Ok, I swear that I don’t only read slash fanfic…that may or may not be a lie. I’ll never tell. Regardless, I’m a sucker for the we-used-to-hate-each-other-now-we-lust-after-each-other trope. All that angry frustration turned into sexual frustration? Yes, please. This fic takes place after the fall of Lord Voldemort […]
MoreThis weekend, Man of Steel, This is the End and The Bling Ring open in theaters, amongst other films. This morning, as I perused the interwebs for summer movie reviews, I was struck by a stark truth: There are not enough women in blockbuster sci-fi movies in 2013. I noticed this actually back in December 2012, […]
