So I just realized at this exact moment that I have 16 more books to read in 3 months. I think I started this ’50 books quest’ in mid-Jan, so I have till mid-Jan to finish this quest. That is a lot of books to squeeze into a time frame that involves a lot of Christmas shopping and watching Fall t.v. Although my cable has decided to stop working for the last 10 minutes, so this may not be a problem after all. I had such high hopes for Rogers, but now 2 out of 3 of their products have stopped working. So unimpressed right now. Off topic.
I took a huge reading break for the month of September as my life was consumed by Canadian publishing in general instead of one individual book. I work for a Canadian literary festival, and it ate up a lot of my time. In fact for an entire month my life consisted of working and sleeping (a little packing/unpacking here and there as well). It was hell, but then festival day came and it made it all worth it. Mainly because I met Yann Martel and spent the day watching him bounce his baby on his lap while his wife read on stage. So sweet! And then my two-year-old nephew decided it would be a good idea for him to run around Yann (Yes, we are on first name basis in my mind) while he was being interviewed by CBC. Funny, but not ok, especially since I had the name of my festival plastered all over me and I felt chasing my nephew around our headlining author may not have been the most professional idea of the day. He is a lovely man though.
Ok. This is my goal. September still feels like the start of a new year to me, even though I am no longer a student and do not start school in September anymore, and I have decided to make a Sept. new years resolution. I will blog once at least once a month, but will strive to finish all 50 reviews before Feb. Hefty goal, mainly because I am lazy and a procrastinator, even with my extra-curricular activities. It is amazing I ever finished school.
Cheers.
YAY! You’re back!!!
Stupid Rogers!
