World Book Night is today, or tonight depending upon where events are being held. In the United Kingdom, I suspect that most of the books have been given out already. In the United States, it is just ramping up for the night's giveaway of half a million books by 25,000 volunteers in 6,...

It is less than a week away...World Book Night, that is. I have yet to pick up my twenty copies of Rick Riordan's The Lightning Thief, but will on the 22nd of April (the night before World Book Night). I can't wait! It's exciting to be able to give away books to the light and/or...

With a little more than a month to go, World Book Night will soon be here, and the books will soon be on their way to the various people lucky enough to be chosen to give them away. I should be picking them up in a few weeks.
I feel fortunate that, once again, I got my top choice of books. I...

The old year has ended; the new one has begun. However, with the ending of the old is a report on the status of the resolutions before making any new ones.
To begin with, this pedometer geek managed to lose her pedometer midway through the month; thus, the step totals for December were some of the...

Never have. But there is a certain goal that I have for the near future. . . let's say 2013. You see, it's been a while since I've lived in a novel. I'm talking about the kind of book that won't let me go. The kind of book that I can't set down if I walk from the couch to the kitchen. The kind of...

I'm attempting to keeping my New Year's resolutions intact. My main resolution is to read more books than last year; the other is to increase the number of steps (preferably to 10,000 steps daily) on my pedometer. This pedometer geek improved a bit on the number of steps in March...

A new year, but similar resolutions for me. Reading more books and regularly achieving 10,000 steps per day on my pedometer are my main resolutions. (It is always easier to keep resolutions when the desire is already there, by the way.) Regardless of my reasons for choosing my resolutions,...

I continue my New Year's resolution to read more books this year. How many people can still claim that--that they are still following through on a resolution? Of course, it is easy to do something that you want to do. Regardless, I am working at it now. It isn't easy because the Project (that...

I continue with my New Year's Resolution to read more books. Last year I read, if I recall correctly, sixty-five books. As of the end of June, I have managed to read thirty-three books, which is about the same pace as last year. I had hoped to read many more than that (in fact, I was hoping to...

My New Year's resolution to read more books has been sorely tested this month. I read some books, but not as many as the previous months. Like all resolutions, there is always an excuse for it. In my case, it is because of "The Project"* which will continue for quite some time. However...
