Read-A-Thon: Update #2

Share in top social networks!

This update covers hours three and four of the Read-A-Thon (7:00 am to 9:00 am PST).

How I am feeling at this point in the Event: The caffeine is kicking in! I’m feeling excited about making a serious dent in my reading today. Gizmo (my kitty) has parked herself on my lap…she thinks this is good stuff indeed. Raven and Argus have been moved outside to the yard to run off some energy.

Mini Challenge for Bart’s Bookshelf:

Quite simple really, I want you to pull three or four books off of your bookshelves and use them to form a sentence, from the book titles, take a photograph and upload it somewhere you can link to it from. (ie: your blog, photobox, flickr etc… etc…) Come back and post a link to your blog post or photo in the comments section.

Here is mine:

What came before he shot her…the weight of silence. After this…justice.
