Friday night I finished The Gravedigger’s Daughter by Joyce Carol Oates, which I was very excited about (plus it’s one of my Fall in Reading 2008 books)! I’ve already been thinking about the review in my head and want to get it done this week. I also think I figured out what it is I [...]

Well, I’m afraid that I have to head off to bed — I’m exhausted! Cheerleading today was really a lot of fun; however, I did not start on my midterm at all — partly from blog hopping and partly from taking the entire day to visit a friend in Rockford, IL and make pies. Anyway, [...]
Well, I am home from making pie and getting back to cheerleading. I should be working on my midterm, but I really want to get through participant 80 on the list before I do some work. Then I can do the last 40 before I go to bed. That way I can sleep feeling like [...]
Hour 1, 8:00 a.m. UPDATE — I just did my cheerleading for an hour and only managed to make it to 40 of the blogs (and that was only leaving comments on blogs that had a Read-a-Thon post at the top of their page). It’s going to take me awhile to get through all of [...]
Because of my internet outage over the last week, I spent a good chunk of Saturday and Sunday catching up on my blogroll. This was an enormous task, but I’m happy I did it because I found a whole host of new books to add to my potential reading pile. Today though, I have been [...]
I didn’t really read much yesterday — I was having too much fun exploring Madison and staying in to watch the prime-time Wisconsin-Ohio State football game. Sadly, the game ended in a very, very disappointing fourth quarter loss (20-17). Top that with the Wisconsin band being indefinitely suspended for allegations of hazing, it just hasn’t [...]
This week’s Weekly Geek challenge (courtesy of Dewey at The Hidden Side of a Leaf) is nominate books published in 2008 for our Best Books of 2008. Originally, I was not going to participate because I didn’t think I’d finished any books that were new in 2008. I usually just wait for paperbacks or pick [...]
I did not read anything today. I went home to the Twin Cities this weekend and spent time shopping, hanging out with my family, and visiting friends I haven’t seen in awhile. I didn’t even read on the car ride to and from Madison — I was having too much fun talking with my driving [...]
Even though I technically have until Saturday, I am going to post my results from this week’s Weekly Geek challenge (courtesy of Dewey at The Hidden Side of a Leaf) today. I’m heading home to the Twin Cities for the weekend, so I don’t know if I’ll have time to post before Saturday. So, here [...]
This week’s Weekly Geek challenge (courtesy of Dewey at The Hidden Side of a Leaf) is to play catch up. We’re supposed to set some goals for stuff we’re behind on, then post later in the week about how we did. My goals for the week are: Finish writing the book reviews I’m behind on [...]
