This week's question:
What’s the most useful book you’ve ever read? And, why?
I'm going to cheat a bit on this question, because the book I would point to as the most useful thus far in my life isn't a book that I read during the period of time that it was useful to me. Stay with m... Comment - Like

I hope everyone is having a pleasant Easter weekend. I'm enjoying a peaceful weekend while recovering from outpatient surgery. I think I mentioned a date for my surgery in my previous post. It was postponed due to the record snow we had here on the East Coast, and I finally got my surgery don... Comment - Like

It is an honour – and a dream come true – to have had a book published and be able to talk to people about characters and a plot that o... Comment - Like

Hello. You might remember me. 5' 7", brown hair, brown eyes, rather bookish? I am still alive and mostly well, despite a nearly four month absence from blogging. A lot has happened in the past few months, but here's a quick overview:

I'm in the midst of my eleventh hour of the read-a-thon and have just now started to feel somewhat tired. I finished Graceling at the end of the tenth hour, and I absolutely loved it. I wish I had Fire by Kristin Cashore, because that would be my next read for sure. I was a bit wary to read a... Comment - Like

My first 24 Hour Read-a-Thon got off to a bit of a rocky start. I'd been feeling like I was getting a cold for the past few days, but I was hoping it would hold off until after the read-a-thon. Unfortunately that was not to be. I woke up this morning feeling as though I'd been hit by a fre... Comment - Like

After wistfully sitting on the sidelines for the last 24 Hour Read-a-Thon back in April, I'm very excited to be able to participate in tomorrow's event.

I have been eagerly anticipating R.I.P. IV (R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril Challenge) since last year. R.I.P. III was one of my favorite blogging events last year as a new blogger.
