You'll find book lists - what I've read and plan to read - plus my weekly workouts (that may be wishful thinking). I don't do "traditional" book reviews. Instead I post a short opinion and thoughts on the books I've read in a weekly reading recap on Mondays. And then I'll mention the book (and my opinion) on at least a few of the books lists. I also don't accept books for review & ARC and all that jazz.

Mon - Weekly reading recap

Tue - "10 Books That ..." List

Wed - Blogger Recommends Books - 1 question 5 answers (coming December 7, 2011).

I interact mostly on this and lots of other blogs via comments, and by email - but not much online, which I know is in vogue right now. But you see, the little ones are on a swim team (practice is 90 minutes 5 days a week), basketball team & run track - and guess who drives them around?! My husband has an irregular schedule as a firefighter and he plays basketball 2 nights a week. And I run for fun and compete in races (5K's to half marathons) and duathlons; plus I like to read, I operate 3 blogs, teach and do the occasional consulting gig to local farms, on food production. Busayyy!!!
