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…

1. Finding out my brother in law was able to leave the hospital. He’s still in a lot of pain, but he’s on the mend.

2. Getting things ready for the macaroni salad I take down to my sister’s this weekend. I hope she’s out of the hospital soon! They haven’t even let her have any water since Tuesday!

3. Payday! Always a happy day.

Wednesday 1 day ago

1. Talking with both of my sisters. One of the chartities is going to help my hospitalized one with her bill there. Yay! It won’t cover everything, and she’s got five days in the other one to worry about, but it’s a beginning. She’s still in a lot of pain, but getting it managed.

2. My brother in law got his stitches out in his face. He’s still black and blue, but he’s getting better.

3. A good day at work. My schedule is about the same for next week, so I should have some time after the weekend to catch up on things.
