Some thoughts
- Had my first DNF experience of the year in early February with Alexandre Dumas’ The Three Musketeers. I was kinda bummed, but so it goes. Life’s too short to read crap; moving on!
- Tried my hand at a vlog with my review of Isaac Marion’s Warm Bodies. Jury’s still out on whether or not I liked it. Anyone else have an aversion to seeing themselves on camera?
- Got invited to give away free copies of The Poisonwood Bible as part of World Book Night (April 23)!
- Had a bit of a blogging crisis and asked the question, “What do you do when a meme gets stale?”
Looking ahead
I’m excited to tackle my Spring TBR list, as well as digging deeper into my 2012 reading challenges. Be on the lookout for more thrillers, classics, and twisted fairy tales.
How’s your 2012 reading going?
Looks like things are going good so far this year. I don’t like vlogs they sort of freak me out but I’m not sure why. 🙁
Yep, things are going well. 🙂 Do you not like doing or not like watching vlogs? Or both?
