My Summer So Far, In Reading | Ms. Grammarian
https://msgrammarian.com/2014/08/06/my-summer-so-far-in-reading
Books, bookishness, and life in general. My Summer So Far, In Reading. But on the bright side, with all that airport and airplane time, I read six books! And I’m glad I scrapped it. “Kill your darlings” is what people who know say about writing, and in this case my darlings were allusions to Robert Frost poems. Thankfulness is a much better use of my time (when compared to melodramatic dread, not allusions to Robert Frost — poetry is never a waste of time). No Fond Return of Love. The Death of Bees.

Books, bookishness, and life in general. Author Archives: ms.grammarian. Reflections on My 2015 In Reading. At the beginning of last year, I resolved to read 40 books in 2015, largely the result of having failed in the previous year to do just that. Anyone who knows me well will probably tell you I can be quite driven when I feel so inclined (particularly when I feel I have previously failed to achieve something). You’re reading at an even pace throughout the year. Reader, I did it. Poor choices like fin...

Books, bookishness, and life in general. Tag Archives: Elizabeth Wein. Notable Reads of 2014. I decided I had to call this post “notable reads” of the year because I so rarely catch a book on the year it’s released, and “best of 2014” seemed to have a different connotation in my head. Without further ado, here are my standout reads of 2014. By Elizabeth Wein. I loved this book. And I really wasn’t sure when I started it that I would! A FUNNY STORY ABOUT MY READING OF. I started it in January. And now it&...

But forty is a lot of books, and, frankly, it leads to a lot of poor choices.

Egregious Use of Comma | Ms. Grammarian
https://msgrammarian.com/2014/08/11/egregious-use-of-comma
Books, bookishness, and life in general. Egregious Use of Comma. Spied for sale in one of those “notions” areas of a department store. If I were responsible for this egregiously unnecessary and meaning-changing comma, I’d want to be anonymous as well. Then again, I suppose they.

Books, bookishness, and life in general. C What You’ve Been Missing. I spotted this on my way out of work the other day. One of several electric vehicle charging stations. I work for the local utility company. Its principal business line is electricity. This is one label you’d really expect them to get right. I feel I could enforce with any personal integrity would be the. If you’re a fan and want to see more, let me know in the comments! This entry was posted in Misspells, Misusages, Mistakes. I’m...
