Readathon

I know several people were interested in a readathon that I was planning on hosting in November. Unfortunately that is not going to happen. I have every Saturday booked for November and the only other dates available to me are November 11 and possible November 19. I realize that many of you will not have the 11th off, unless you live in Canada and that Fridays aren't not an option for a number of people due to work conflicts, etc. So I want to do one in December if possible. Then again, I could probably just set a date and just do it. Then again I do have the 30th open...

LibriVox

A few days ago, I was looking around for some free audiobooks. For those that don't know, I am on disability and therefore on a limited income and need to find ways to save money. And while I love reading books, I also love listening to podcasts, primarily ones on books and sports.

So back to finding free audiobooks. While my library system has a way of getting free audiobooks, one can't always have them when I want to. So through a google search or a mention of something on a blog, I went to LibriVox and found a wealth of books that were available for free download. While the books that are available are only ones that are in the public domain, they are a good option for those that want to listen to a audiobook rather than pay everytime you want an audiobook.

You can find them here. Enjoy!

Reading update

Despite the fact that I haven't been updating my blog, I have been reading. I just haven't been reading as much as I had hoped to. I think I am half-way to my goal of 50 books at the moment and will get as close as I can. Hope you are all well and reading lots.

Halloween Read-a-thon Second Update

So here is my second update. Have done quite a bit of reading, but things have conspired to allow me not read for long stretches of time. Wish that it was a less busy weekend, but I am getting as much as I can do. Quite enjoying the format.

Halloween Read-a-thon First Update

In my estimation, I am not doing so great. While I have read quite a bit today (Friday), I haven't had a long sustained effort. I realize that its informal and that it takes over 3 days, I want to have a sustained effort and with a busy day tomorrow and a somewhat busy day on Sunday with church and with grocery shopping, I don't honestly see anything constructive happening until sometime on Sunday late afternoon or evening. I will probably spend the next few hours reading. Hopefully there will be an update sometime tomorrow.

Update

I am so sorry I haven't been updating my book blog lately. While I have been reading and finishing a number of books in the last month or so since my last update, I have been rather neglectful in updating, which I hope to do sometime soon. Currently I have been reading "The Big Short" by Michael Lewis and I can hardly wait to get the book finished. I almost felt like quitting the book and returning it to the library half way through and now I am within about 50 pages of finishing the book.

I will update sometime within the week. Have a good weekend :)
