Do you plan to join Spring Reading Thing 2010? I hope so! Though I haven’t finalized anything, I have started thinking about my list and which books I’d like to tackle this spring. Don’t forget — it starts March 20th! In the meantime, here are a few posting guidelines/rules. I’m not too picky, but there are [...]

If you happened to glance at the calendar today, you may have realized that the first two months of 2010 are already gone! Which means that we are now in March.
Which means that spring will be here in about three weeks. I cannot tell you how ready I am for spring. I’m ready for sunshine, [...]

I admit, I don’t join a lot of reading challenges. I usually host two challenges per year (Fall Into Reading and Spring Reading Thing), and in between those challenges, I’m often ready to enjoy some unstructured, rambling reading.
But there are two reading challenges in the works this year that I simply couldn’t resist.
You already know [...]

Oh, hello there.
Yes, it seems that I temporarily dropped off the face of the Earth.
There was the usual, expected stuff. The two straight days of baking Christmas cookies (yummy), the celebration of Christmas (very nice), the family gatherings (enjoyable).
But then there was also the onset of post-Christmas germs.
And so this week, when I had planned [...]

My goals for Fall Into Reading 2009 were fairly modest. I [...]

One week from today — December 21st — I’ll post a Mr. Linky where you can link to your Fall [...]

I fully intended to put up a post last Friday, when we actually had one month to go in Fall Into Reading 2009, but life seems to be conspiring against me. Due to a host of responsibilities, errands, minor crises, and trying to figure out what, exactly, we’re doing for Thanksgiving, I’ve had approximately zero [...]

It’s hard to believe that we’re already done with one month of fall and, by extension, one month of the Fall Into Reading challenge. Is it just me, or did that month go by pretty quickly?
So…how’s your reading going? Have you been curling up with a book and the warm beverage of your choice very [...]
