On December 10, I plan to spend most of the day in a bathrobe drinking cucumber water and listening to the sounds of the rainforest

I’m stuck on book 22. Reading Sense and Sensibility and due to life, kids and an inability to stay awake beyond a couple of paragraphs it’s going to be a tight race to meet the goal. Plus I missed last YMBC book club and will miss the next one. Gah. Gotta get back on [...]

The other part of my 26 in 2011 challenge is to also get better about posting to my book blog. So, after two months, finally got around to my review of Medium Raw. http://roadwarriorlibrary.blogspot.com/2011/11/medium-raw.html

Yeah! Booked a Millcroft Spa weekend!

@Wanda – I think I might need to clone myself to be able to get through the pile on my nightstand as we speak Persuasion – Arlene Dickinson (Thanks Heather!) The Shipping News – Annie Proulx Sarah’s Key, Tatiana de Rosnay House of Sand and Fog – Andre Dubus III The Book of Ruth – [...]

On to book # 22. Didn’t know what to read so went back to an old stand by – Jane Austen. Have a bunch of Giller’s on the night stand too. Have to stop working so late at night and start reading more!

# 20 is in the books (tee hee). Now on to Midwife of Venice. It’s a quick read – started a couple of days ago and 2/3 through. On to the final push. It will be great to actually achieve a resolution/challenge I set at the beginning of the year!

The countdown is on and I’m in the home stretch. Finished #19 Flash and Bones (review pending #YMBC twitter book club chat next week). Have a huge stack on my nightstand to choose from now.

@Kara – I loved Medium Raw but I have a HUGE crush on Anthony Bourdain. I love that he is completely belligerent and has a total potty mouth but at the of the day is all in with his passion for food.

Finished #18 – Medium Raw by Anthony Bourdain (who I love). Well into #19 Flash and Bones courtesy of YMCBookalicious and the YMBC. May make my challenge in right under the wire.

WAY TO GO and you posted a GREAT TIME. It’s quite an experience that first half marathon. I said I would never do it again and then signed up for another one for next year. More winter running for me Really awesome job!

Ha Ha Wanda. Here is the list that I completed so far. You’ll notice a good portion of YMBC books. I’ll rate and rank at the end of my personal challenge: 1. The Sentimentalists 2. Light Lifting 3. Fly Away Home 4. Room 5. Gods Behaving Badly 6. Evil Plans 7. Sing You Home 8. [...]

Can’t believe I didn’t post when I actually did the race. My goal was to finish in 2:20 and I finished in 2:12. It was a great race and at the time I said I would never do it again (I didn’t enjoy training in February). Of course, I have signed up for the 2012 [...]
