34 and more
34. Clash of Kings by George RR Martin. This was the 2nd in the series that began with Game of Thrones. I liked this book and was glad that some of my favorite characters made it all the way through. However, like many sagas that take off, I did find myself feeling like the author was dragging things out a tad or taking a lot of time with, what ( Read more... ) -
First concert of the summer(?)
OK, so not even by the calendar is it summer yet. Still, it should be a little bit warm in June, shouldn't it?

31 and then some more stuff
I'm not always sure about LJ these days. It's like our weather here - is it Spring? is it Winter? Can I get into LJ? Can I get into my own journal?

"Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Martin Luther King Jr ( Read more... ) -
26 & 27
26. The Diary by Eileen Goudge. I knew I'd have quite a bit on my plate between work and Good Friday activities so I picked a book that was short and sweet. I'll also add poignant to the list of adjectives ( Read more... ) -
A Quarter
24. It ain't all about the cookin' by Paula Deen What an interesting memoir! Paula didn't always have it easy but she always had that steel magnolia thing goin' on. This is a woman who deserved her bread to land butter side up. Really enjoyed reading her story.
25. Born Round by Frank Bruni Frank, Frank, Frank - how self-involved can one ( Read more... ) -
22 and 23 books for me!
Really, I'm kind of wishing Lent lasts and lasts because I'm getting an awful lot of reading done : < )
22.Lost in the Meritocracy: The Undereducation of an Overachieve by Walter Kirn. OK, so this one made me re-think - just a bit - some of my angst at not going to the Ivy League school like I wanted. Basically, Kirn lets us in on how he figured ( Read more... ) -
