Insta-Readathon

It's #readathon day! I was up and at 'em by 8 am. As I made breakfast I listened to Carry On. Afterwards I started Furiously Happy. #carryon #simonsnow #findjoyeveryday #findjoy #readingismyfavorite #iread #gotbooks #furiouslyhappy #thebloggess

The #readathon getting to know you post. #gotbooks #iread #readingismyfavorite

I finished Carry On. My next #readathon book is this #newberyhonorbook. #nonfiction #poetry #readathonkids #iread #gotbooks #readingismyfavorite

My companions as I sit in bed and read. #readathon #letsleepingdogslie #squishyfacecrew #pupperazzi #bostonbeans #bostonsarebest #bostonterriersrock #lunabelle #chevyblue

One of the books on deck for today is this one. #readathon #deweysreadathonhalloween #iread #gotbooks #readingismyfavorite

Giving my eyes a break and making a snack, but the reading continues with this #darkhunter novel. #readathon #readingismyfavorite #deweysreadathonhalloween #iread #readingwithmyears

My mid-event survey for the fall #readathon. I've been doing a lot of #readingwithmyears today, and had book group tonight, so haven't made much of a dent in my pile...yet. #readingismyfavorite #gotbooks #iread

We are in the middle of hour 16 of the #readathon. Time for a snack! #cakeandteatime #iread #readingismyfavorite #gotbooks

A #bostonbeans friend used one of the Bostie cards she ordered from me and made an altered notebook perfect for my bookish obsessions. The first entry is about the #readathon. #readingismyfavorite #gotbooks #iread #cricutcreations #bostonterriersrock #squishyfacecrew

My #readathon cheerleaders are still going strong...if snoring can be considered cheering. 😜 #squishyfacecrew #bostonterriersrock #lunabelle #chevyblue #pupperazzi #letsleepingdogslie #bostonbeans

Current #readathon reading: All-Star Superman. I tried reading this last week via the #hoopla app, but the text was too small at times - even with zooming in. Not only is this a read-a-thon book, it's a #superherosunday one as well. #iread #gotbooks #graphicnovels #superman #superheroes #readingismyfavorite #twobirdsonestone

It's 3 a.m. (Hour 20 of the #readathon) I'm still going strong. After listening to another story/chapter of Everything's Eventual and updating my many #readingchallenges I'm about to begin #printzawardhonor Keesha's House. My cheerleaders have abandoned me to go snuggle with their daddy, so I'll console myself - and keep warm - with a cup of hot tea. #findjoy #findjoyeveryday #readingismyfavorite #readingwithmyears #gotbooks #iread

It's hour 21 of the #readathon!! My cheerleaders have returned to keep my lap warm as I read. I finished Keesha's House and am about to begin volume 3 of the latest Captain Marvel series. #iread #gotbooks #readingismyfavorite #graphicnovels #marvelcomics #captainmarvel #superherosunday #superheroes #bostonbeans #bostonsarebest #bostonterriersrock #pupperazzi #letsleepingdogslie #lunabelle #chevyblue #squishyfacecrew #lasthashtagipromise

I might be more than a little biased, but I think I have the most adorable #readathon cheerleaders of them all. ❤️ Anyhow...I've finished Captain Marvel and am on to another #printzawardhonor: Your Own Sylvia. #readingismyfavorite #gotbooks #iread #bookbeverage #chevyblue #lunabelle #squishyfacecrew #bostonbeans #bostonsarebest #bostonterriersrock #letsleepingdogslie #lasthashtagipromise

Holy frijoles, batman! It's the final hour of the #readathon! I'm still going strong, but my cheerleaders are OUT! Luna Belle especially. She very rarely sleeps on her back! #letsleepingdogslie #bostonterriersrock #bostonsarebest #bostonbeans #squishyfacecrew

Just finished Your Own Sylvia. Will volume one of Rat Queens be my final book of the #readathon? #graphicnovels #gotbooks #readingismyfavorite #iread

It's over. I made it. 24 hours of reading, listening, and discussing books. I read all or part of ten books. Finished seven, six of which I read start to finish during the #readathon. It's time to take my furry cheerleaders and go to sleep...after I finish this last book. #readingismyfavorite #iread #gotbooks #cantwaitforthenextreadathon #surprisinglystillawake

Summer Reading programming fun!

Warning! This is a photo heavy post!

We've had a lot of fun programs this summer! Here are some of the pics I shared via my Instagram account. Many of these programs were with Miss Brindi. There are more - like my photos from the Doctor Who program, but that will be in later post.

Waffles with Dad

Superhero Yogi Boot Camp

Superhero Stretch Yoga (teen program)

Big Bang Theory (teen program)

Kent State University - Trumbull Campus Summer Stock presents: Rumpelstiltskin

Some programs didn't make it to Instagram. Mostly because I was too busy to do more than snap a few photos!

Toddler Carnival

Branches' SRP Finale

Insta-challenge, part 5 (the end)

The last week of the #BSMphotoaday Instagram challenge. It's was fun! So much that I may try another book photo challenge in the future. Hopefully I will finish the next one. I didn't with this as the end of January found us without heat - during a bit of a cold snap. Luckily we were able to fix our 28-year-old furnace, but during the few days of hit and miss heating in our house I was more focused on keeping the pups warm than keeping up with an Instagram challenge! Ah the joys of home-ownership!

26. Handwriting

This theme had me wondering: With so many schools no longer teaching cursive, will future generations miss out on many beautifully illustrated and wonderfully written texts like this one? The use of handwriting and script type fonts in picture books may become an obsolete art.
