Lynne’s decided to change the start date for the challenge to May 1st instead of June 1st. (Sounds good to me!) She also set up a separate blog just for the challenge which can be found here.
I’ve listed my book choices on my original post.

Current Reads: Wicked, Teacher Man

Since I’ve blown through 5 books in the past 3 days, I’ve got some time left on the remaining library books before they’re due. I’ve decided to pick up two that I hadn’t finished and had put aside to read other things, Wicked, The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by [...]


Current Read: A Perfect Day

After finishing The Locket in one sitting this morning with a pot of coffee and two furry girls by my side, I’m moving on to another by one of my favorite authors, Richard Paul Evans. This one doesn’t resemble the rest physically, as most of his other books are small with pages that have that [...]

I picked this up at the library as a reference book. I won’t be reading it cover to cover but will jump around to answer any questions that I have.  My switch to the Macbook Pro has been quite smooth and painless… ( I LOVE MY MBP!!) I figured most things out myself but I’m [...]


Good Reading Day!!

I read more than half of Merle’s Door yesterday because I was dying to finish it, return it to the library, pay my fine, and pick up the 5 books that I had requested which came in. Try as I might, I couldn’t finish the last chapter before the sandman came calling so I read [...]


Current Read: The Locket

I’ve read lots of books by Richard Paul Evans and they’re always quick reads. I discovered him by accident one day at the library when the books’ small sizes caught my eye. I’ve got a few more of his on my To Be Read list but for now, I grabbed The Locket this time.


Current Read: Making Autism a Gift

I’m always interested in reading and learning as much as I can about Autism. Today’s read is Making Autism a Gift: Inspiring Children to Believe in Themselves and Live Happy, Fulfilling Lives by Robert Evert Cimera. I’ve had this one for awhile and it’s my final renew so I’m bumping it up to the front [...]


Current Read: Good Dog. Stay.

Trying to get through my soon-to-be-overdue pile from the library and this one is a shorty. Good Dog. Stay. by Anna Quindlen looks like a one day book for me. (At least I hope so… which will mean that I’m spending some of my vacation doing exactly what I want to do!


Heard it through the Grapevine

I’m participating in the Heard it Through the Grapevine Challenge that I heard about (a few times removed) on Lynne’s Little Corner of the World. I believe I originally found Lynne through Mary on the Weight Watcher’s Booklovers board after visiting Mary’s book blog. I’ve got tons of books on my TBR (to be read [...]
