Mini Challenge

Did you hear, or should I say read, a Read-A-Thon is starting tomorrow.  I found it via Review From Here’s blog.  Kristen from Bookworming in the 21st Century is hosting.  It starts tomorrow at 8am (whatever time zone that you live in) and goes until Sunday 06/20 at midnight.  I’m not sure if I will sign up with the challenge of how many books I will read or if I challenge myself in hours.  Hmmmm something to think about until I sign up with McLinky.

Monthly Wrap Up

Another month comes to an end !!!!  Which means another month closer to nicer weather, I hope.  As far as reading, this month I am not at all happy with myself.  I went into a mini reading slump, which thankfully, doesn’t happen often but it did so I will need to play catch up in the coming months.  And I am on planning on doing it in a very enjoyable way.  I have already informed hubby and my sons that they need to open our pool early this year. so that the best way I can recuperate after surgery is to be sitting by the pool, with my stack of books and my Dunkin Donuts Iced Coffee…sounds like a plan to me !!!

Ohhhhh myyyy…I just looked at my spread sheet/records and it is worse than I thought….
