"I am trying to hold in one steady glance / all the parts of my life." — Adrienne Rich, from the poem "Toward the Solstice"

Category: read-a-thon

Yep, I’m doing Dewey’s Read-a-thon!

October 17, 2014

I took the day off from work, but since the boys were also out of school, and Jeff left a to-do list for me, I haven’t had a chance to do what I’d originally planned to do today: to get some more of my books in order before the read-a-thon,…

Read-a-thon: We’ll see how it goes

October 22, 2011

The day is finally here, Jeff and the boys are at basketball practice, but I didn’t make specific Read-a-thon plans or sign up early because I didn’t know if we’d have anything else going on.  But, we took yesterday off and did a day trip, so the rest of my…

Super-Short Read-a-Thon update

April 10, 2011

It’s just past midnight here, and I just finished an awesome book, a novella by the late great Muriel Spark called The Driver’s Seat. This is maybe my fifth Spark book overall, and man, no one else writes like she did. Her imagination is sort of creepy and twisted, and…

TGI Read-a-Thon time!

April 9, 2011

We’re between my sons’ basketball and baseball seasons, and tomorrow is the 24-Hour Read-a-Thon. Thus, while one of my kids has a baseball practice scheduled, Jeff will be taking him to that, and maybe taking the other one as well, and I have nothing scheduled. So I decided a couple…

Read-a-Thon only hours away, finally signing up

October 9, 2010

My life has been a complete zoo for WEEKS now, and I’m so excited to have a Saturday with nothing scheduled for our whole family except a much-needed haircut for me (YAY!), and the 24-Hour Read-a-Thon, a totally awesome excuse for me to REST and READ and not do housework…

A learning experience: Wrap-up of my first Read-a-Thon

April 12, 2010

My first 24 Hour Read-a-Thon is done, and I’m sorry to say this top part is gonna be a mess because it’s Sunday night and I need to get ready for bed — back to work tomorrow! I did answer the questions for the “End of Event meme” already (below),…

Quick notes before I start Read-a-Thon

April 10, 2010

My tea is steeping, and as soon as I get my breakfast ready, I’m going to start reading King Dork by Frank Portman. I am slightly bummed because I forgot my poetry anthology, The Art of Losing, at work yesterday, so won’t be reading any of that one today. 🙁…

RAH RAH READ-A-THON!

April 9, 2010

This Saturday, April 10, is the 24 Hour Read-a-Thon, a very popular event in the book blogging community. I realize I’m not technically a book blogger, but I’ve learned some names, I read some of the blogs, I follow a handful of bloggers on Twitter, and if people want to…

24 Hour Read-a-thon — on the 24th!

October 23, 2009

The 24 Hour Read-a-thon is new to me — like Book Blogger Appreciation Week, I first heard about it from the book bloggers I follow on Twitter. I thought it would be cool to do, but then life got busy (who am I kidding? My life is always busy!), and…
