L.B.R Goals

Library Books Read-a-Thon Goals

Today is the first day of the Library Books Read-a-Thon hosted by Rachael @ Rachael Turns Pages (as I mention in a previous post this morning).  For this week's challenge, I plan to complete the following:

*Blameless by Gail Carriger (currently on page 111)
*Heartless by Gail Carriger
*Timeless by Gail Carriger
*Belle Cora by Phillip Margulies

These are the four that I currently have checked out from the two libraries I frequent.  When I return them, I will pick up some more to finish out this week and continue on with the Summer Library Challenge.  I also plan on signing up to partipate in the public library's reading challenge over the summer. 

Happy reading!

    Loved, loved, LOVED the Parasol Protectorate. Reading those is like gobbling up a hot fudge sundae with lots of whipped cream! I see you frequent two libraries. Me too -- sort of. One library only gets virtual visits from me; I use my card at that library to gain access to their eBook lending through Overdrive.

      I completely agree, Elsi! They are a delectable little treat :) My library also has ebooks, but I have yet to explore that option (though I do own a Kindle). I might check their options out in the future. Thanks for stopping by!

      Hi, Emma! I am planning on participating in the Read-a-Thon for the SLC next week too! I've been on a reading challenge kick lately and, frankly, I see absolutely no reason to stop :) Thanks for reading!

2016 A-Z Blogging Challenge Theme Reveal

Image
Oooo...the day is getting closer; creeping stealthily, it will smack you in the face in no time! While we impatiently await the start of the challenge, it's time to reveal our themes.  Yay!  I'm going for something drastically different this year.  Something much more challenging than I've ever done in my previous four years participating in this particular challenge.  Normally my posts are pretty straight-forward, contained, not overly ambitious.  This year is going to be another beast all together. My mission, should I choose to accept it, will be to write one continuous story for the entire challenge.  I know my characters, setting, and where I want it to go...kind of.  All I need to figure out is how to get from point A to point Z.  The first word of each post will start with the letter for the day; some of these will definitely be more difficult than others, but I'm determined. I look forward to writing this, receiving feedb...

Bianca's Vineyard (Book #13)

Image
I've had Teresa Neumann's Bianca's Vineyard for a while now, thanks to my grandmother, but have been skipping over it to read other books.  I don't know why I did this because it was actually a great read.  Neumann is a local author who decided to write a novel about family history.  The majority of the novel is based on factual evidence and personal family interviews.  There is one portion, which I won't give away, that is only speculated at by Neumann, but what she does choose to speculate is a highly probably scenario. The book is written in a way that suggests it is being told to the reader, as well as Egisto's son and his wife, through flashbacks from Bianca in her 80's.  We know this because the font and boldness of these sections gives personal reflection from Bianca and foreshadows what she will eventually reveal.  She takes you back to the beginning of what changed the course for this family, mainly one brother of the Bertozzi family moving to A...
