One day I will actually get my act together...

...and participate in this.

Yesterday the 48-hour reading challenge began. I knew about it, having read through some blog posts, but promptly forgot to do much for it. Can I blame being very tired and taking a nap after work?

Today I am at work yet again. I did read for about 45 minutes during lunch. My current lunchtime reading is Geek Fantasy Novel by E. Archer. I’ve also read numerous emails and blog posts. Do they count?

I was audiobookless again, as I’ve been waiting for a couple to arrive through interlibrary loan. While I do love music, I’ve come to hate listening to the radio due to all the commercials. Bah. Luckily I found an audiobook for the drive home. Here’s hoping it is a good one!

almost done!

Wow. I’m almost caught up. That won’t last long. I still need to write up reviews of two audiobooks (Farmer Boy and By the shores of Silver Lake, both by Laura Ingalls Wilder), and I am nearly finished with another book as well.

Next week I’ll be in heading to DC to attend the 2010 ALA Annual Conference. Yay! Free books!! This means my internet access will be limited at best. I’m taking the train there, so expect to read at least two books.

The weekend after I return, I will be doing a 48 hour reading challenge (a la MotherReader). As my coworker SK and I both kinda forgot about the official challenge earlier this month, we decided to do our own.

What does this all mean? That whole being nearly caught up thing…soon will be obsolete once again.
