Dewey’s Read-A-Thon Starts today and in a few minutes I’ll be hunkered down to read. Mt tea is steeping, the fire is turned on due to the chilly morning with my ass planted in a chair and of course a book at hand. I wrote of my pre-read-a-thon plans and here are my current ones: […]
Dewey’s 24 Hour Read-A-Thon starts in a few hours and like a colonoscopy it’s in need of over-night prep. I’ll be going to bed early tonight in anticipation for a long day of reading.

The Diary of Adam and Eve is like the book “Men are from Mars Women are from Venus”. Adam and Eve are polar opposites with a complete misconception of what the other thinks of them (Eve especially). Adam would prefer to be left in peace where as Eve has gone all Snow White with the […]
After missing February’s monthly review I began to question, are posts on what I accomplished in said month really necessary?
