Now that Book Blogger Appreciation Week is over, I find myself a bit antsy and twitchy and unable to focus. Bloggers around the blogosphere call it a hangover of sorts, I just feel like a runner that is waiting for the gun to go off. Bam!
I paced myself well over the week. A little blogging, a little blog reading…more blogging…more blog reading but very little BOOK reading. So today is all about reading. The two books that I am reading right now:
I’ve got other books going as well but these are the ones I plan to start today. Aren’t the covers gorgeous? They remind me of fall and right now, with it being 100 degrees outside, I need to be reminded of fall.
Tonight I am making meatloaf and mashed potatoes for our sunday supper. We tend to eat comfort food around here on Sundays so that is what’s on the menu tonight. For those that are following the Game On Diet, this is my free day 😉
On a personal note, on Wednesday, my son is auditioning for a couple of parts in Lil’ Abner so he’s been walking around practicing his lines and my daughter, the one with the photographic memory, has already memorized all of HIS lines just from listening to him. For those that are familiar with the musical, he is auditioning for Pappy Yokum and Available Jones. I sure hope he gets ones of these.
I have a ton of books calling my name. Books that I just want to read because ‘I’ want to read them. However, review commitments seem to be taking up all my reading time lately so they sit patiently, waiting for me to pick them up. One example is The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. I bought that book when it came out (that was a long time ago) and it sits on the shelf, looking at me longingly, hoping that I will pick it up someday.
Is this you? If so, you may want to consider Swapna’s challenge. It’s time to clear off your shelves!
This challenge will work a little differently than other challenges. Instead of picking a set number of books to read during this time period, you will pick a percentage. This means that a certain percentage of the books you read during these two months will have to qualify for this challenge. For example, let’s say you pick 40% and you end up reading 10 books in October and November. 4 of those books would have to qualify for this challenge in order for you to complete it. I am setting a minimum percentage of 20%.
