I mentioned yesterday that my blogging has been a wee bit sporadic as of late, and I think it shows most in the fact that this is my first Tuesday memes post since December. Oops. I've slowly been getting back into the swing of things after a really rough holiday season. Hectic travel plans, lack of enthusiasm at work, and feeling personally lost...
Hi, all! How are you doing? Tell me, because I really don't know—I've been more than a bit awful at keeping up with my Feedly over the last week or two, and my posting has followed suit. (I did, however, meet my goal of posting three times last week! Yay!) Fear not, dear follower—I have been reading, but at a much slower pace...
Last weekend, my boyfriend and I visited our local art museum to see their exhibit called "Odd Volumes: Book Art from the Allan Chasanoff Collection." Fully curated by students, the display was dedicated to art that highlighted the multi-faceted relationships that humans have with books, particularly as our reading becomes increasingly digital. "The act of reading books is an inherently sensory process ......

MLK Weekend Reading: Thoughts on Thinking & The Underground Girls of Kabul, by Jenny Nordberg
When I first decided to host my own Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend read-a-thon, I knew I wanted to make an effort to immerse myself in books that would make me think. Though only one other person joined me for this RAT (hi, Karsyn!), I still enjoyed myself and managed to finish two books that had been making me think an awful lot. I read...
I checked out The Sirens of Titan via Kindle Unlimited and read it as part of the 2015 TBR Pile Challenge and Bout of Books 12. TSoT follows the story of Malachi Constant, a very lucky, very aimless man who's been told his fate by a time-traveling man and his dog (the dog time-travels, too): he'll marry, have a child, and end up (after a...
Here it is, the moment we've all been waiting for since the 2014 Book of the Year (BOTY) Bracket Challenge began: my 2014 book of the year reveal! *confetti* First, thanks to Elle of Erratic Project Junkie for hosting such an awesome challenge! I enjoyed having the chance to look back on my year of reading, especially since I only began blogging late...
So this is super late and may end up being a me, myself and I kind of read-a-thon, but I wanted to try my hand at hosting one of these! Shaina's MLK Three-Day Read-a-thon Or "th-read-ay," if you prefer. (I don't, because it looks funny, but you're entitled to your opinion.) EDIT: I didn't specify initially (oops), but this will run Saturday through...
Guys, why isn't it Friday? There's this three-day weekend looming in the distance, tantalizing me with its many long, unplanned hours (no work shift this Saturday, woo!), and yet it's still only Thursday. Life is hard and stuff. (P.S. Are there any MLK, Jr. Day weekend read-a-thons going on? Would anyone join if I started one? Maybe I'll just, y'know, decide to read...
And now to reveal the final four in the Book of the Year (BOTY) Bracket Challenge, hosted by the lovely Elle from Erratic Project Junkie. For the first time, I've found myself doubting which book is going to end up the winner! What kind of witchcraft have you constructed here, Elle?! I suppose the idea of completing a bracket if you already know...
