Sunday Salon: Reading, Read, To Read #14

Happy Sunday, everyone! I hope you've had a good week! Lots of things to cover this week.

First things first, don't miss the sign ups for Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-thon. It's not too soon to start making lists of the books you want to list. April 18th is the day.

Speaking of lists, I've joined the Fill in the Gaps 100 Project. Make a list of a hundred books you feel you should read/want to read/need to read. Give yourself five years. Anything 75% or over is considered success. (Meaning, get 75 books read in five years to give yourself a gold star.) I'll be making my list in the next day or so. My invite to join the blog hasn't come yet. But I'll be posting the list of books in both places soon.

Last but not least, more zombies to pass along. I received the zombie chicken award this week from Just Your Typical Book Blog and I could have sworn there was another one...but I can't find it now. Oh well.

The blogger who receives this award believes in the Tao of the zombie chicken - excellence, grace and persistence in all situations, even in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. These amazing bloggers regularly produce content so remarkable that their readers would brave a raving pack of zombie chickens just to be able to read their inspiring words. As a recipient of this world-renowned award, you now have the task of passing it on to at least 5 other worthy bloggers. Do not risk the wrath of the zombie chickens by choosing unwisely or not choosing at all...

Five I'm passing it along to:

Finding Wonderland
A Patchwork of Books
Biblio File
The 3 R's
The Written World
