B.O.B. Day 2 Progress

Bout of Books Challenge Update Day 2

The second day of the Bout of Books Reading Challenge has come to an end and here's how yesterday went:

Currently Reading:  Allegiant by Veronica Roth
  • Read a total of 70 of 526 pages yesterday
To Read:  Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden and Stuart Little by E.B. White (will count for Bookish Bingo)

So far I've read 158 pages in the challenge.  Not stellar, but there's still plenty of time :)

Happy reading, fellow Bout of Bookers!

    Have fin reaching your reading goals!! I read Memoirs of a Geisha years ago now and loved it!! It's definittely one of my favorite all time books ever written. :-)

    So, far I've finished Breakfast At Tiffany's by Truman Capote and am currently listening to the unabridged audio version of The Son by Philipp Meyer.

    I've enjoyed participating in a few of the challenges as well.

      I keep hearing such great things about Memoirs now that I've mentioned having it on my TBR pile for the challenge. I'm looking forward to it! Still haven't had an opportunity to participate in any of the mini challenges as of yet, but I'm sure I'll get to at least one of them. Thanks for stopping by!

2016 A-Z Blogging Challenge Theme Reveal

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...
