Special Guest Post!

Guys I'm so sorry I couldn't think of anything to say or do for today's post. Yes, you've read it here first: I'm all out of ideas, forever. But rather than shut down the blog and become an actuary (because actuary school is pretty hard), I decided to invite a special guest blogger:My second cousin Leanne! Leanne and I are cousins through an arranged marriage. She hails from the small mountain town of Catholics-on-the-Spit, Arkansas. Her hobbies include purifying water and forward email chain letters.  Today, she is going to do some book reviews! I apologize in advance for her use of all caps; she has very little knowledge of internet etiquette. Her understanding of table etiquette is pretty poor as well. In fact, the only etiquette she really has a handle on is stable etiquette. Small town  living, huh?

BOOK CORNER

HI EVERYONE THANKS FOR LETTING ME ON THE BLOG. THANK YOU ALEXIS AND HERE IS A TIP FOR YOU:  NEVER FEED A HORSE WHILE HE IS LAYING DOWN. THAT IS JUST RUDE.

NORMALLY I DO NOT DO ANY READUING BECAUSE READING IS A SIN BUT ALEXIS ASKED ME TO DO THAT SO HEAR I GO. THESE ARE SOME BOOKS I BHAVE READ AND THEN AFTER THE NAME OF THE BOOK, I HAVE WRITTEN WHAT I THINK OD THE BOOK.

THE HUNGER GANES: WHAT IS GOING ON HEAR? HOW CNA THESE PEOPLE ALLOW YOUNG CHILDREN NOT ONLY TO KILL EACH OTHER, BUT TO KISS ALSO? KISSING IS BEST LEFT TO MEN WHO OWN PROPERTY AND THE WOMEN THEY MARRY. ALSO I THINK IT IS VERY SUSPICIOUS HOW MUCH TIME THEY SPEND TALKING ABOUT THE POOR. WHY SO MUCH ATTENTUION ON THE POOR? IS THIS SOME KIND OF LIBERAL MEDIA BIAS NOVEL? HUNGER GAMES MORE LIKE WELFARE GAMES, HA. THE PEOPLE OF CATHOLIC-ON-THE-SPIT ARE POOR BUT THEY ARE TOO PROUD TO BE WHINY ABOUT IT. THEY HAVE THE DECENCY TO DIE QUIETLY.

THINGS FALL APART: ICOULD NOT FIND THIS IN PAPER EDITION SO I HAD TO GET THE AUDIO BOOK. IT WAS VERY CONFUSING1! I HAD BEEN TOLD THERE WERE A LOT OF AFRICANS AND A LOT OF YAMS IN THE STORY? BUT WHEN I LISTENED TO THE BOOK THERE WERE NOT ANY YAMS AT ALL. THERE WERE AFRICANS BUT NOT THE KIND FROM AFRICA. JUST LOOK AT TEH COVER? AREN;T THEY ARE DRESSED TOO NICELY TO BE FROM NIGERIA? UNLESS CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL IS PULLING SOME KIND OF SCAM AND THOSE KIDS AREN'T ACTUALLY POOR AT ALL. STILL, I FOUND THIS STORY VERY COMPELLING. CONGRATULATIONS CHINUA ACHEBE, "YOU GOT ME"

THE BIBLE: SOOOOO GOOD.

Well, that about wraps it up! Leanne had plans to write more, but she opened up to Revelations to pull her favorite doomsday quote and got pretty absorbed in a description about fire-y, sulfur-y leeches. Or locusts. I dunno. Anyway, Leanne is going to be busy in her prayer hole for a while, but since her town has been quarantined due to a widespread case of fecally transmitted rabies, she's going to be staying with me for a while. See you next time!
