In which I am not a gamer. And that's ok.
Naithin has written in his gaming blog that he believes he may be "done-done" with WoW. As we were chatting, I told him I thought it wasn't as big a deal for him to be really done with a game beacuse he's a gamer and there will be another one.... Continue reading

Procrastination
I've been putting off and putting off writing for weeks. Books have been read (and books haven't been read) and there have been things here and there I've wanted to write about, but whenever I get home, writing doesn't seem to be high on my list of things to do.... Continue reading

Does it count?
One thing that's occurred to me as I've been trying to make sure that I am reading quickly enough to read my requisite seven books per month in order to meet with my goal of 84 by the end of 2011 (please see handy counter widget in the sidebar), I've... Continue reading

There are lots of kid's books that I do remember fondly (Jan Brett books, for example - her illustrations are so detailed and lovely) but then also, some early/young adult stuff (the Babysitter's Club, Nancy Drew, Sweet Valley) that were big long series that I read quite a bit of - actually, a lot bit of. Could I give reviews and individual ratings on individual books now? Nope. But I know I read those books a million times and have opinions on the series as a whole.
The American Girl books though, as many as there were (five different Girls, when I read them) I could give ratings on each. They were GREAT books!
That being said though... I probably won't. Maybe if boredom struck me and I wanted a "project" that didn't take a lot of effort. But since I've "finished" with all my books from now, I want a break :)
In which I rejoin Goodreads
I have read and finished four other books since my last post here. But a big change (to me) is that I have switched back to Goodreads for my book cataloging purposes. For quite a long time, I had been using Readernaut on the unknowing recommendation from a person I followed on Twitter. It was...

That's what my friend told me - if I really liked a book, I could always buy it in hardback to add to my personal library. Still...
Traitorous
Well. After nearly three months of silence, here we go again. It seems whenever I am not blogging about my Secret Hobby, I want to blog here. Nice handoff I suppose, but it does nothing for my focus. The holidays are over and mine went fairly well. The boy was away at work during Christmas, s...

A beginning
As the Mad Hatter once said "Start at the beginning..." Beginning posts are rather hard to write, especially when you have only the vagueist of ideas about what the blog will be about. There are infinite possibilities about what you COULD write about, but even an over-arching idea could change... Continue reading
