Some Thoughts
The past two hours have been relatively unproductive in reading. I spent 50 minutes of the time blogging, and then mom stopped by to drop off a pizza and the hubby came home, so time talking to family took up another portion. All in all, this is SO MUCH FUN! It is so nice to have an excuse to do nothing but read!...well read and blog...

Mini-Challenge Winners
I would first like to thank everyone who participated in my Mini-Challenge. I was surprised and happy that so many participated. Now for the answers:

#1 Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
#2 The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
#3 The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde


And finally....THE WINNER IS.... Dave

He will choose two books from my BookMooch list and will also receive a set of 6 ALA Bookmarks for participating.

But the fun doesn't end there. Since so many people participated, I thought it would be a good idea to have two more winners, each to receive their own set of 6 bookmarks, so Eden and Amanda have won as well.

Congratulations you guys!

  6. If your eyes are burning put up a fight
    Cocoa and cookies are yummy at close of day;
    Read, read into the dead of the night.
