2018 Man Booker Long List
2018 Man Booker Long List
I don’t go out of my way to read books that are nominated for or win prizes. In fact, I’m usually tickled when I actually do read a book that’s on any prize list because it happens so infrequently. I don’t go out of my way to avoid them, they just don’t usually cross paths with my TBR. Even so, I almost always pay attention to those various lists when they’re published every year. One such list…

World Book Day
Today, World Book Day is being observed in the UK and Ireland (and maybe other places, I’m not sure.) I’m in the U.S., but any day that people are celebrating books and reading is a day that makes me feel warm and cozy. Speaking of warm and cozy…

What I'm Reading Jan 24
What I’m Reading Jan 24
As of today, I’ve read 12 books this month. I think I’m on a pretty good pace to meet my annual goal, especially for those occasional reading slumps that I get into throughout the year. Goodreads says that I’m eight books ahead of schedule. Woot!
Currently, I’m kinda sorta in the middle of four different reads. I say, “kinda, sorta” because two of them I haven’t touched in a couple months. Did…

Top Ten Tuesday: Bookish Resolutions/Goals
Top Ten Tuesday is now being hosted by That Artsy Reader! Interesting, right?
I haven’t done a TTT in a loooong time, but I thought it’d be a great way to start off book blogging for 2018, especially considering this week’s topic.
I don’t have ten goals for reading, but I do have a few. First of all, I don’t do New Years resolutions. I think they’re just setting yourself up for failure. Rather,…

2017 Anti-Bullying Readathon
I hate that it’s Nov 16th and I’m just now writing about this!!!
I’m not going to soapbox here, I’m just going to say that raising awareness about bullying, learning about bullying, and doing my part to prevent it is important to me on a personal level. If you’ve never heard about this readathon or participated before, you can still jump in. Who cares that it’s the middle of the week??? Please…

2017 Dewey’s Readathon Wrap-Up
I wanted to post this before today, but whatcha gonna do?
This wasn’t my best year with the Readathon. To begin, I didn’t get up until 8:30 am and for me, the start time was 7 am. Then, I took the time to catch up on the mini-challenges that I had missed. That took me up to 9 am and then it was time for the 9 am challenge. Basically, I felt like I took more time with the mini-challenges and…

2017 Dewey’s Readaton – Mid Challenge Update
Here we are, halfway through the readathon. I’m going much slower this year than I did last. But, any amount of reading is good reading and we’re not here to nitpick, right?
1. What are you reading right now? I’m still reading Hunting Prince Dracula but I took a break a little bit ago to read Saga, Vol. 7. 2. How many books have you read so far? Well, I finished Saga, so one. 3. What book are you…

2017 Dewey’s Readathon – First Thoughts
So, I got off to a really rough start this morning. I started 1 1/2 hours late and then I had a hard time not closing my eyes on the couch. I need lots of caffeine and protein today, me thinks.
To start, the first hour mini challenge:
1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today? Navarre, FL 2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to? Probably my first which is Hunti…

2017 Dewey’s Readathon
I’m prepped and ready to begin the readathon this year. This is my third year!!! I have a stack of graphic novels to break up the reading of longer books. New to me this year, I’ve included a few poetry books as well. I think I’m prepared with snacks as well, but I usually underestimate that end of things.
What I love about this marathon is that it keeps Dewey’s memory alive. I was not…

What I’m Reading Oct 4
So, I decided to get back to blogging and then came down with the flu. I missed all of the Banned Book Week activities, getting started with Dewey’s pre-readathon challenge, and National Coffee Day. Talk about a major bummer. The only good thing to come of being a walking zombie is getting unlimited reading time in, guilt-free, which means I was able to start a few books while being laid up.

Banned Books Week 2017
Banned Books Week 2017
It’s been a while since I’ve blogged, but I can’t ignore Banned Books Week.
So many of the top challenged books of 2016 are children’s and young adult books. Would I let my children read sexually explicit or violent books or books with excessive profanity (as determined by me)? No, because as a parent, it’s my job to parent my kids. I don’t leave this responsibility up to my neighbor, my…

January 2017 Wrap Up
January 2017 Wrap Up
I have to admit, I didn’t have the best reading month in January. I only managed to finish five books. This was due in large part because I got stuck in The Fountain and wouldn’t let myself DNF it. Because I was struggling so badly with this book, I went several days without reading anything at all. Sadly, that wasn’t the only book that didn’t hold my attention this month. Here’s my list:
