Thirty Day Book Challenge: Day 2
Day Two: A book you’ve read more than three times I can honestly say that I haven’t read ANYTHING more than three times. I’m just not a huge re-reader, which is weird, I know.

Why I’m taking a November reading hiatus
I can’t believe that another November has rolled around—it’s here—it’s…tomorrow. It’s time for NaNoWriMo, or National Write a Novel Month, if you aren’t familiar with it.

Throwback Thursday: Goddess of Yesterday by Caroline B. Cooney
I received my hardback copy of the Goddess of Yesterday during a summer reading program at my local library in 2004. To get our free book from the book cart, we had to read for five hours and turn our coupons in. I read five hours the first day of the summer program and pitchedContinue reading “Throwback Thursday: Goddess of Yesterday by Caroline B. Cooney”
