I'm nominated for Best Eclectic Book Blog. Yay me.

I wrote a guest post. Here is a link to it.

A list of stats about my reading so far at the midpoint of 2010.

Showing you what picture sums up my reading tastes.

A rather long discussion of ranking books.

This week’s question comes from Kathy at Bermudaonion’s Weblog who asks: If you could be a character from any book, who would you be? You mean aside from being Bella and having hot vampire sex with Edward Cullen? Well, the very first person who popped into my head is Lisbeth Salander … AKA The...

This week’s question comes from Jackie at Farm Lane Books Blog who asked: Which book has changed your opinion of a subject, making you look at something in a whole new light? This was a hard one to answer! In looking over the books I’ve read in LibraryThing, these were the ones that jumped...

This week’s question comes from Kelly at Kelly’s Thoughts and Ramblings who asks: How often do you ever have to actually buy a book? Do you get most of yours through swaps and drawings? Do you frequent used book stores a lot? Sorry…more than one question, but all related. I’ll forgive you the barrage...

This week’s question comes from Beth F at Beth Fish Reads. She asks: If you could travel to any world described in a novel, which one would you go to? Why? And don’t forget to tell us the title of the novel. In thinking about this, I realized it was so much easier to...

This week, I couldn’t resist answering Rebecca at Lost In Book’s recent question from her wonderful Book List Meme about the best and worst book covers. (I usually freeze up for this meme and draw a blank, as if I’ve never read a book in my life. But for this question, I was able...

Time once again for the Question of the Week. This week’s question comes from Caitie at Pub Writes who asks: If you could only take five books with you on a ten day trip, what would they be? Funny you should ask this, Caitie, as I’m preparing for an upcoming vacation and the FIRST...

Last week I asked if you had any questions to ask me.  (And you still can if you want.) I thought I would answer one question a week. And, if I run out of questions, I might ask myself some (as it just now occurs to me this might be a fun way to...

This week wasn’t nearly as exciting as last week, but I guess we can’t have a fun vacation and author recognition every week. Actually, vacation tired me out … it was god to get back to “normal.” What I Read This Week Bad Mother by Ayelet Waldman. I finished this up after starting it...

I’m working furiously to complete the 2009 Mini Challenge before the end of the year. Here is one of my latest task to be completed: Go to a book event; blog about it or tell the group about it. The book event I chose is the Scholastic Book Fair at my son’s school. I...

Have you heard about Dewey’s 24-Hour-Read-A-Thon on October 24th? (If not, head on over here to find out more. And if you don’t want to read, you can be a cheerleader or a mini challenge host.) Well, I really really wanted to do it as I don’t get nearly enough time (in my opinion)...

Today’s writing prompt is to answer some questions about reading — but with as few words as possible. Because I’m not know for being short-winded, this is a challenge for me but I’ll do my best. Do you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack? I tend to much on carrots or...

Book Blogger Appreciation Week (BBAW) is finally here! Woo hoo! All this week, many book bloggers (including me) will be writing posts based on daily prompts provided at the BBAW web site. Today’s prompt: Write a post thanking and spotlighting your favorite blogs that didn’t make the shortlists. I think this is a fantastic...

Giveaway Winners Yeah, I know, I know. I was supposed to announce the winners of The Ridiculous Race and You Suck yesterday, but I’ve been either sick or on vacation for the past two weeks and I’m totally out of my blogging groove and well, I forgot! But the results are in and the...

I’m participating in the Good Books Inc. Scavenger Hunt hosted by the lovely and talented girls over at Padfoot and Prongs. The challenge is to complete 10 different book and reading related challenges within a few months. Since the deadline for entries is May 20th, I’m finishing up my last entry. (I ended up...

The challenge is to complete 10 different book and reading related challenges within a few months. Today I’m doing challenge #9:Think of your favorite novel. Now think of all of the characters that...

Here are some interesting links I came across this week and “deep thoughts” that some of them evoked from me.Books vs Kindle — The Ultimate ShowdownYou know how much I love my Kindle, but so many of us have trouble letting go of our beloved books. If you want a good laugh, check out...

Just wanted to share some interesting things I’ve found as I’ve made my blogging rounds in the past few weeks, in case you didn’t see them yourself. I know I always enjoy these type of posts as it is impossible to visit all the great blogs out there! And speaking of visiting great blogs,...

A book I found at a used book store (for a scavenger hunt challenge).

Musing about talking to strangers ... about books.

Musing about trying new authors.
