I am a flippant reader. As soon as I read about a book that intrigues me, I MUST READ IT RIGHT NOW. This leads to lots of piles. Of books in various stages of readedness. If a book grips me enough not to read anything else along with it, that’s a GOOD THING. I usually have several books on the go. A day book, a night book, a car book. Day books happen on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Audiobooks happen on…

She is, I’m not. Bookmarks or random pieces of paper? Train tickets. And no dog-eared pages. Can you just stop anywhere or must it be at the end of the chapter?

This year, I thought I’d take advantage of my general sleeplessness and participate in this year’s Dewey’s 24-Hour Readathon Books I hope to get to: Idaho, Emily Ruskovich If At Birth You Don’t Succeed, Zach Anner Caraval, Stephanie Garber Strange Weather In Tokyo, Hiromi Kawakami Night Waking, Sara Moss This list is fluid/might be completely rubbish. I also have a graphic novel somewhere and some fun Kindle reads. I’ll be…
