I don’t have it in me to try to write a review of Mr. Bones – it is a little deep and I need to give it some thought before trying to review it. So that will happen after the read-a-thon is over. I have not taken more than a 15 minute break today from this event…so I am planning to break and take a short walk, have a snack and feed my animals. Then I’ll resume.

Don’t give up…173 pages is great!!!! You are doing awesome!!!
Wow! You’ve been busy! Hope you are having a great time!
I just walked to get the mail, and it felt great. So enjoy that rest . . . and great work on the reading.
Nice tallying of your activities on this fine day for literacy! Love to see all those numbers ticking up as day turns to evening in the East.
I enjoy Paul Theroux too, I’m interested to read what you think of him. You’re doing great, keep up the reading!
Oh, I hope you like “Springtime on Mars.” I reviewed that as part of a blog tour and I thought it was pretty good, considering I’m not generally a fan of short stories.
You’re getting a lot done _ go you!!!
Go Wendy! I kind of wish I was doing this, but it also looks insanely fun, or is that fun and insane? Either way, enjoy yourself!
Sounds like you’re doing great, Wendy! One book (and review) down – way to go!! I hope you got to take your walk and it wasn’t too terribly smoky. I’ll check back later…
