Day 1 Progress:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I resumed reading Hyperbole and a Half<\/em> by Allie Brosh. I read 80 pages, but it’s a graphic memoir, so that’s less impressive than it sounds. <\/p>\n

I also participated in the first Bout of Books Twitter chat. It was a lot of fun, and I was better this time at interacting with others, rather than just answering the questions, during the chat than I usually am. I’m supposed to be working a shift at the garden Saturday morning, when the next chat is, so that may be it for me in a “formal” Twitter capacity.<\/p>\n

\n

Today’s Bout of Books challenge is a Book Scavenger Hunt<\/a>, hosted by The Book Monsters:<\/p>\n

1. A Book that begins with \u00e2\u20ac\u0153B\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (for Bout of Books!)<\/p>\n

\"Books<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

2. A book you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re planning to read\/currently reading for Bout of Books<\/p>\n

\"Currently<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

3. Blue Book(s)<\/p>\n

\"Blue<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

4. Books from your favorite genre!<\/p>\n

The Shakespeare at the top is technically Rudi’s (and I’ve read all four). I’ve read Fangirl<\/em> and My Father’s Dragon<\/em>. The rest are all TBR.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
