Thursday Three is a weekly event in which I post three random facts about myself. These can be anything from an activity I did over the past week to a physical feature. I invite you to post random facts about you either in the comments or in your own blog. Have fun!
What’d you get? Wednesday is a weekly meme/event/series in which I list the things I’ve bought over the last week. This may or may not appear every week, depending on whether I buy anything or not.
Happy women’s history month! One of the things I’m grateful for was the chance to take two semesters worth of American women’s history in college. It’s too bad my (women’s!) college didn’t have more women’s history options…or any classes about people of color for that matter.
I’m never sure how to celebrate something like this. I did come across some book lists (like this one and this one) so maybe I can spend some time reading (or re-reading) some of those books. Got any other ideas?
So now that February is over, let’s talk about the poll and survey I posted about earlier this month. The poll asked if you pee in the shower. Four people voted, all said that yes, they pee in the shower. Maybe I’m the minority, but I find peeing in the shower to be disgusting. Call me irrational, I probably am. If you’re wondering, I usually pee before I get in the shower and will get out of the shower and go over to the toilet if I have to pee badly enough. As for the survey, I asked people to pretend there was a TV show about their lives and to answer questions based on this imaginary show. The survey didn’t get any responses. That’s ok; I probably made the mistake of doing this on a blog that doesn’t get much traffic. I guess I won’t bother with a poll or survey for March…I’ll resume doing that stuff when traffic picks up.
In the meantime, I’m really hoping people will start using this Q&A feature because I think it has the potential to be fun.
My goal is to read 50 books by the end of 2010. You can read more about this challenge here; all posts in this category can be found here; more information about all my challenges can be found here.
Shelf Discovery by Lizzie Skurnick
Maybe I was a deprived teenager, but I didn’t read most of the books discussed here. The “book reports” probably would’ve meant more to me if I had.
All these issues aside, there was something about this book that I really liked. Other than the editing issues I mentioned above, I liked the way Lizzie Skurnick writes; I felt like I was having a conversation with an old friend. It gave me some ideas for YA novels I might want to go read. Maybe I’ll come back and re-read this later.
