How I did it
How to read pride and prejudice
It took me
14 days
It made me

How I did it: I thought the book was great, even though it took me forever to get around to reading it. It ended up being my car book, so it took even longer to read, since that book only gets read during lunch breaks on the days that I actually get to work (or if we take a longer drive somewhere).

How to send out a bookcrossing book
It took me
300 days
It made me

How I did it: I had a bunch of books set back to send along on bookcrossings. One thing I've noticed is that I keep getting bookcrossing books on paperback swap. I don't send them out there, because they belong on bookcrossing, at least to me. But since bookcrossing seems to be a minor priority with me these days, maybe that's okay. Read how I did it…

How to read Doomsday Book by Connie Willis
It made me

How I did it: I've been meaning to read this one for ages and finally got around to it when the book group chose it for the month. I had started it before and lost track of it, so I began again and I'm glad I did. I fell right into the world Willis built. Man, can she write! Her descriptions of the middle ages make you feel like you're right there experiencing it for yourself. Read how I did it…

list three things every day that made me happy (read all 1204 entries…)
Friday 8 hours ago

1. I can’t believe it, but I had to convince myself it was Friday. My mind kept trying to tell me it was Thursday all over again. I’m sure glad it was Friday!

2. Getting magazines stocked and some books and a few other things done. Not nearly enough that needs it, but enough to satisfy me.

3. Listening to Kim in the back room. It’s always nice to be appreciated.

4. Brining home a used copy of Rutherfurd’s New York. Nice price! Also, Star Trek came home with me. I plan to find the tribble.

Thursday 1 day ago

1. Helping with a huge buyback. A guy brought in boxes and boxes of books to trade in. He made more than $1100! It would have been more if he’d taken store credit, but I think this is his living, finding books and selling them.

2. Getting my running done and still having some reading time at lunch!

3. Catching up on some Sons of Anarchy before bedtime. Great show!

in the books department that no one else is willing to do. Still, it could be a very nice day and after work I can read or watch tv or who knows what I’ll get up to?
