I can't believe another week has gone by! Can you believe September is almost gone? Anyway, whether it feels like it or not, it is Sunday, which means it's a time of reckoning. What I really need to do is have a major reckoning with challenges. But since I'm scared to even think about going there, I'll put that off. Again. I'm hoping to get some things done this week. I mean purposefully get things done. The things that I really should have tackled a couple of weeks ago if I was staying on top of things. Like reading Girl in the Arena. I can't believe the blog tour is coming up in a few weeks, and I still haven't gotten around to reading it. Usually, I'm much better about these things. But guilt doesn't make you more productive. So I'm trying to not feel guilty for not reading books I *should* have read by now. I can only do so much.
If you hurry, you can still be a part of the voting at The Classics Circuit to choose the first 'dead author' we tour.

You abandoned RAMPANT? How sad! I really liked it, but I can see how it isn't for everyone! Here's to a great reading week!
ohhh you abandoned gils all fright diner?...not to your liking?????
Both Rampant and Gil's All Fright Diner were library books. Rampant wasn't moving quite fast enough for me. (Though I have every intention of giving it another go at some point because I *want* to like it.) And Gil's All Fright Diner was fun--what I read of it--but unfortunately, sadly, my library copy stunk. And I don't know about you guys, but I don't like to read books that give off funky odors. I am positive I would have finished this one if it hadn't been funky smelling.
