Nothing matters but The Spectacular Now

"So, my beautiful fat girlfriend, Cassidy, is threatening to kick me to the curb again, my best friend suddenly wants to put the brakes on our lives of fabulous fun and my dad, well, my dad is a big fat question mark that I'm not sure I want the answer to. 

Some people would let a senior year like this get them down. Not me. I'm Sutter Keely, master of the party. But don't mistake a midnight philosopher like me for nothing more than a shallow party boy. Just ask Aimee, the new girl in my life. She saw the depth in the Sutterman from the first moment when she found me passed out on the front lawn. Okay, so she's a social disaster, but isn't it my duty to show her a splendiferous time and then let her go forth and prosper? 

Yes, life is weird, but I embrace the weird. Let everyone else go marching off into their great shining futures if they want. Me, I've always been more than content to tip my whiskey bottle and take a ride into the heart of the Spectacular Now. "

Update #14: Ch-ch-changes

Greetings, everyone! 

I just wanted to put up a quick post to address some recent changes to the blog and give you an update. 

You may have noticed the new name to the blog. I decided to change the name because it's more original and more me. The old name reminded me too much of Lady Gaga and her calling her fans Monsters of Little Monsters. Pulled From The Bookshelf may be longer, but at least it's unlike any other celebrity has coined. I like it so much better because I review books on here and it's like I'm pulling them from my bookshelf and they land here on my blog. Kind of lame, kind of creative, wouldn't you say? Haha

I'm also thinking about starting a Tumblr with the same name. If I do make one, in the beginning I'd be reposting from two years ago until recent posts. I love this blog and how I can easily customize it, but I can reach a new audience with a Tumblr. I can also reblog other book related posts onto my Tumblr. If I make the Tumblr, I might post a link here to it. It'd be up to you to follow if you wanted. I hope if you decide to follow the Tumblr, you'll still pop over here sometimes. 

My new email is pulledfromthebookshelf@gmail.com. Be sure to send me suggestions and recommendations on books and blog posts or just say hello! All feedback is welcome.

Update time!

I finished The Spectacular Now by Tim Tharp yesterday. I enjoyed reading it so much I decided to review it for you. I can't remember the last time I reviewed a book on here, but I figure I'd spread the love. Also keep holding tight for that nail polish post featuring The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. I just have one more picture to take and I can edit and post it. 

I hope you like the new name of the blog and Just Keep Reading, folks!

Reading List!: Summer 2014

Summer is the perfect time for me to catch up on my reading and do a whole lot of it. There aren't many TV shows to watch, I don't have to go to class and it's a great pass time for my six and a half hour shift at work. I have all the free time in the world! Even with the 2014 World Cup happening (GO GERMANY!!!), I read in between waiting for the next game. I don't have a goal of how many books I want to read this summer (and I definitely didn't think to have one until now), but I do still have a list of novels I want to cross off my list.
