February 12th, 14th, and 15th
Late. It’s a mode of operation, definitely not procrastination. This batch of dates in the book is a bit more enjoyable at first, and then devolves into a bit of nonsense. Overall, I definitely seem to enjoy Ms. Morton the most when she writes about fashion, and fashion history. You can feel from the paragraphs… Continue reading

February 6th, 7th, 8th & 10th
Tragically I am falling further and further behind and also realizing, I don’t think I care about this anymore. While Ms. Morton is certainly covering a variety of topics, I just don’t have time to read each one and blog about them each day. And again, I find myself saying, “So?” Okay, so lets read… Continue reading

February 3rd
Welp, I’m officially overwhelmed. Ms. Morton decided to shove the entirety of the kitchen sink into this date, and before the 6th. I’m going to try and keep this fairly short as I only have an hour for lunch, and I don’t necessarily want to spend all of it writing. I’m not even going to… Continue reading

February 1st & 2nd
Well, January has finally come to an end and I have yet to give up this silly project. I suppose a month is something worth celebrating, despite several posts being days late. Technically that includes this one – the 1st has a separate entry for itself in the book. Let’s jump into February shall we?… Continue reading

January 25th & 27th
I swear my enthusiasm for this project wanes more and more each entry. I think I was over ambitious, so it’s time to readjust my expectations. Because lets be honest, this was probably never going to be anything more than just my ramblings about an 18 year old book. Which is what I told myself… Continue reading

If it seems like I’m just skipping dates, I promise that I’m not. The book is not daily, but rather, dates chosen by the author for some significance. Today’s subject is the Taj Mahal and the emperor that commissioned it. Aside from the fun facts about the building, I think the focus of this section… Continue reading

January 11, 13, & 15th
Well, I’m behind and batch posting yet again. Keeping up with this book has proven to be more challenging than anticipated. Oh, not the reading part, but trying to determine my opinions on the contents and come up with something relatively witty to say. My stats say I’ve had 11 visitors to this sad little… Continue reading

January 10th
I really was not expecting this book to have such a focus on various religions or holidays. I’m probably an idiot because the book title does say “the girl’s guide to everything”, and well, I suppose various religious festivals are part of “everything”. Again though, I’m confused as to the audience for this book. I… Continue reading

Today Ms. Morton does us the favor of reminding us of the origin of income tax in the UK, and encourages us to have our paperwork in order. I find this particularly funny, as it makes me wonder who this book is intended for, as anyone who qualifies as a girl is unlikely to be… Continue reading

January 6th
The feast of Epiphany. It claims to be a Christian event, but incidentally has no supporting scriptures to validate it. Rather, it seems to be a tradition that sprung up over time in relation to Christmas, and is one that none of the main branches of Christendom can seem to agree on a date for.… Continue reading
