Merry Wanderer of the Night [12/05/09] 

  • This was definitely my most productive sprint, although I did read a graphic novel which helped move things along. How much longer can I stay up?!?! Only time will tell. I don't think I'll make it all night though. I'm considering a twenty minute nap at some point in the semi-near future, but if you don't hear from me assume that …

  • Tif Talks Books meme is Book Libs, which is like Mad Libs Except with your books. I totally love this idea because I was addicted to Mad Libs when I was a kid!Once upon a time in the land of Scargrave Manor, there lived Miss Austen and the Lieutenant happily ever after. Is that not how the story always goes?!? On the night before …

  • Thanks to everyone who joined in on my meme, I saw some great quotes up there! I was hoping I would be done with Jane and the Unpleasantness of Scargrave Manor by now, but I've got about forty-five pages left. After this I'm going to read Shirley Volume One by Karou Mori, which is a graphic novel about young maids in Victorian Eng…

  • For those of you who don't normally read my blog I'll let you in on a little secret: I love classic novels (and really I love Victorian literature). My challenge for you is to think of your favorite classic novel, grab it (or you can look it up online), and find a quote from the novel that makes you love it. If your novel is borde…

  • There were more distractions than I had originally planned on. I decided to take a shower, and then boyfriend said it was dinner time, plus I took a pretty big break when I got back from work. In any case, I'm over halfway done with Jane and the Unpleasantness at Scargrave Manor (which is an incredibly long title by the way). Righ…

  • Phew! Work is over now and I am back in my room. I'm one third of the way through Jane and the Unpleasantness of Scargrave Manor. Hopefully I can read it a little more quickly now that I won't have people nagging me for keys and pool cues. Can't they see I'm reading?!?!Anyway...I think I am going to take a mini break and make some…

  • Four hours have gone by and I have finished one book! It's very exciting. I'm glad I started off with Are You There God? It's Me Margaret because it was an easy read and got me on track. I'm at work for the next four hours, but I work at a front desk so I'll still be reading away. The next book on my list is Jane and the Unpleasan…

  • Tif Talks Books has an amazingly beautiful layout and header. It looks like she recently got an award for her blog's presentation and I am not surprised.In Spring It Is the Dawn obviously has a great blog title. She is in Japan (although she is Canadian) right now and a lot of her blog is Japanese inspired. I have never seen so mu…

  • Well I'm two hours in to the readathon. I didn't start reading until about an hour ago because I had a bit of a problem getting out of bed. I'm sure no one can relate to that! I had some pop tarts and Vitamin Water for breakfast, that was good. The first book in my readathon is Are You There God? It's Me Margaret by Judy Blume, wh…

    This week's post is from Trisha at Eclectic/Eccentric...thanks Trish!Books take us on journeys, flitting us off to other times, people, and places. From ancient caves to medieval castles to modern skyscrapers; from delicate geishas to turn of the century immigrants to future captains of spaceships; books are our path to other worl…
