Pet Peeves

The last book I read had two errors in it. I found them without looking, so I can only imagine if I had been... It used 'He' when it should have said 'She' and it seriously had 'a lot' spelled as one word.

My two biggest pet peeves in the written language: People who spell 'a lot' as one word.. and people who omit the last comma when listing a series of something. For example: I do not like bananas, grapefruit and oatmeal.

I've only been told to lighten up twice this week.

Smashed by Koren Zailckas

While it's humorous at times and makes me feel pretty darn good about years 21-23 in my life, I would think her parental units are cringing at the fact she wrote a book detailing her drunken years. Not only did she likely hurt them the first time around, but to rub it in their faces? I also don't agree with making money off your stupid years....but all that aside it's interesting. If I were her parents, I'm not sure proud would be the emotion I felt. Can't wait to see if she learns some boundaries by the end.
