I could actually take the easy way out on this week’s Ten on Tuesday topic, “10 Favorite Vacation Moments,” and link back to the 10 days of vacation moments I recently posted about as the “Road Trip Diary,” but I decided that I should look back further than last month‘s vacation, and see what past experiences stood out. The list is organized by destination and travel year, and some vacations have more than one “moment” […]

Weekly Geeks #11 – Helping Dewey Move
Weekly Geeks #11 is a special assignment – a request for help from our fearless WG leader, Dewey. She says: Here’s the thing. I have a big pile of books waiting to be reviewed.I have less than two weeks before I move. I do not want to have to packand move all these books. So what I would like is some help gettingthese books reviewed, so that I can post my reviews and get rid […]
The meme thief strikes again!
I found both of these at Melody’s Reading Corner. Melody does a lot of fun memes, and she does tag…she’s never tagged me, though, so I just appropriated these two. I’m not tagging, as usual, so feel free to play along on your blog if you like! The One Word Meme (All you have to do is answer the questions with one word, and tag four people. ) Where is your cell phone? Desk Your […]
Weekly Geeks #10 – The Magazine Rack
This week’s Weekly Geeks theme is to talk about the magazines we read, and Dewey even provided a handy little meme to get it going. I almost feel like an impostor participating in this one, since my magazine reading has really dwindled since I got involved with blogging, especially since several of my preferred magazines also offer a lot of their content online. There’s only so much time for off-line reading, and given the choice, […]
Friday Q&A
Tuesday Thingers July 8, 2008 (hosted by Marie at The Boston Bibliophile) Since we’re past the Fourth of July and the summer season has officially started, what are your plans for the summer? Vacations, trips? Trips that involve reading? Reading plans? If you’re going somewhere, do you do any reading to prepare? Do you read local literature as part of your trip? Have you thought about using the LT Local feature to help plan your […]
GUEST POST – Paul’s Ten on Tuesday: Favorite Movie Characters
Please welcome the return of a guest blogger who has been here before and therefore needs little introduction, but I’ll give him some anyway: PAUL VASQUEZ is the father of two terrific kids, a talented illustrator/graphic designer and photographer, a lifelong movie buff, a nerd (and proud to be one, thank you very much), a very smart and funny guy, and, most importantly, my husband, generally better known in these parts as “Tall Paul” (because […]
Friday Q&A, on Independence Day
Since I’ve already posted my response for this week’s Tuesday Thingers, I’ll start out with a variation on the Q&A theme this time. Y’all know that I love sharing quizzes. This one assesses my “reading personality:” turns out I have a split one. Your Personality: All-Rounder! Your responses showed you fitting equally into all four reading personalities: Involved Reader: You don’t just love to read books, you love to read about books. For you, half […]
Thursday Two – double the lists, double the books, double the fun!
Both of these book-related list memes come via The Boston Bibliophile – the second one is this week’s Tuesday Thingers prompt. =========================================== Entertainment Weekly published a list of the top 100 books they call “the new classics.” From that list, I’ve bolded what I’ve read, and italicized what I own, or owned at one time (if not also bolded, it’s still in TBR purgatory). The Road, Cormac McCarthy (2006) Harry Potter and the Goblet of […]
What NOT to read: The Banned Books Meme
This has been wandering around the book blogs for a little while now – I’m appropriating it from my good friend Wendy (aka Literary Feline). This is a non-comprehensive list of 110 books that have been banned; as Wendy notes, “…(t)his is just a small sampling of the books that have been banned over the years, however. Think of all those that did not make this particular list. The Harry Potter books, for example” and […]
Friday Q&A, back on schedule
Tuesday Thingers Last week I asked what was the most popular book in your library- this week I’m going to ask about the most unpopular books you own. Do you have any unique books in your library- books only you have on LT? How many? Did you find cataloging information on your unique books, or did you hand-enter them? Do they fall into a particular category or categories, or are they a mix of different […]
Weekly Geeks #9: Challenging…
I haven’t exactly been a “weekly” geek lately, but I’m back in for this week’s theme, “Challenges.” Dewey says: 1. If you participate in any challenges, get organized! Update your lists, post about any you haven’t mentioned, add links of reviews to your lists if you do that, go to the challenge blog if there is one and post there, etc. 2. If you don’t participate in any challenges, then join one! There’s a good […]
Ten on Tuesday: That’s history now
I’m not sure what inspired this Ten on Tuesday theme, “10 Favorite Moments in Your Country’s History,” but I suspect that it might be related to a recent event that’s actually on this list; you’ll know what I mean when you read it, I’m sure. (OK, I have to be honest; this post is itself history, since this was actually last week’s theme. Due to my vacation, guest posts, and trying to work out the […]
