High Summer Read-a-Thon Correction, Because I Am a Dolt
June 16, 2012
A few days ago I posted about the High Summer Read-a-Thon being hosted by Michelle of The True Book Addict. For some reason I thought it started today. I don’t know why I thought it started today, since everything she has written about it says it starts on JULY 16th. EVEN THE PICTURE I POSTED […]

Time For a Read-a-Thon!
October 21, 2011
This will be the first time I have participated in Dewey’s 24-Hour Read-a-Thon. I always thought I had to commit myself to the entire 24 hours, and I have never been able to stay up that long without feeling all kinds of ill. Then I found out that participating for 24 hours isn’t required, so […]
