I love this mini-challenge hosted by Under the Boardwalk:
The challenge is to show us a picture or tell us who or what keeps you company as you are reading today!!
Here is who is keeping ME company:

Maia and Gizmo who alternate between the rocker and my lap

Argus, who is bored with the whole thing

And Raven [...]

How I am feeling at this point in the Event: Re-energized. I am getting ready to take another break, this time for some lunch and to play with the dogs for a bit.
During this last period, I completed two mini-challenges [...]

As I posted yesterday, I will be participating in Dewey’s 24 Hour Read-A-Thon again on October 24th and 25th…and I have been contemplating which books I will read for the event. I’ve learned from past history that I need to read engaging, light books (novels usually in the mystery, thriller or chick-lit genres) or short [...]

It’s October – and you know what that means? Dewey’s 24 Hour Read-A-Thon!
