HOUR FOUR MINI CHALLENGE
I entered in the comments here, but I'm pasting my post below as well. For this challenge we had to name three books that did a great job with setting (I'm oversimplifying a bit)....
Ten Thousand Saints was an excellent representation of both New York City (especially St. Marks and Alphabet city) and the time period (1987).
The Stephanie Plum books definitely feel like Jersey (where I grew up... it is just as over the top as it is portrayed... which explains a lot about me).
The Eternal Ones did an amazing job of portraying life in small town Tennessee.
HOUR FIVE MINI CHALLENGE
Tami and Dave asked about how you love to share books. Again, I entered in the comments and this is my response:
I love sharing books with my nephew. When he was about 3 or 4 we would read Where the Wild Things Are and act out the scenes, especially howling at the moon and the wild rumpus. Now that he's six, I set him up with paper and colored pencils and he makes a book of his own while I read to him Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. I'm forever talking about books to everyone, but he's the one I love sharing books with most.
And I just realized I didn't leave my e-mail on either entry. Oh well. Back to reading for me. No more snacks.

WHY IS EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT FOOD?? AND MAKING ME HUNGRY LIKE?
ReplyDeleteOk, done with the yelling.
The party’s starting to pop
And you’re already having fun.
Don’t let the momentum stop
And get some reading done!
Rock it on Fake Steph. ;)
I'm so impressed with your reading already! The books I started with are two that I had started previously. I only had 60 pages left in the first book I read and the audio book I'm finishing up now I was already half way through.
ReplyDeleteYour nephew is so lucky to have an aunt like you. I keep pushing my sister to get herself knocked up now that she is married but she keeps saying something about "taking their time" and "maybe in 5 years!"
Your doing great! Bacon goes so well with readathon snacking...
ReplyDeleteI haven't read much the past two hours, but I have listened to some of my audio book although it turns out that listening to a book and commenting on blogs and twitter is not as easy at it sounds.
And I have to pee. Again!
Oh wow, your lunch sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteGlad your keeping up your energy during the Readathon!
Have a great day! Enjoy yourself!
Happy Reading & keep up the great work!
I love my nephew. And bacon. Hopefully I'll never have to choose between them. :)
ReplyDeleteYum - chicken and bacon. Perfect combo. That is so awesome that you share books and your love of reading with your nephew. Keep up the good work!
