I'm thinking next year I'm going to do a simaliar challenge but using the name of subjcts in biographies. I also some day want to read all of the Greek classics back to back and read all of Shakespeare's plays in a month.
So how is everyone else doing on the yearly book goals?

Dang it! they thought of my idea

So I came up with this amazing idea back at the beginning of the year. Imagine it... a website about trading and tracking books...all over the Denver area. Seeing if people would really give away they're books and to whom and what type of person would do it most willingly. That's right just like Find George but with books. Friend Rachel even came up with the best name: BookRipple. I researched the web, couldn't find anything like it, I bought the domain, started designing the web page. I even started getting books to start passing out. And what do you know? It;s already been done. To a 'T" actually better than a "T". But the wonderful thing about this is it was successful... over 700,000 members around the WORLD!!! Check it out at http://www.bookcrossing.com/. Well here's to a great idea.

Remi's letter to Godmother Michelle

Dear Godmother Michele,
thank you so much for convincing my human on coming to DDFL. She truly is a wonderful and overly concern owner. I also wanted to thank you for the lovely toy. It's my favorite 'killing' toy-- and I reserve all my growls and head swings for it. Maybe I can convince my human on buying me more of these type of anaimals. I haven't tired my cookie yet since I've had an upset tummy of late, but it sure does smell good. Thank you again for all your thoughtfulness, support and love.
From your Godson puppy,
Remington

It's A Boy!!!


Yes, that’s right I made a commitment and got myself a dog last night. A beautiful boy 9 months old Australian Cattle/Corgi (and probably some type of hound since he has had his nose to the ground since coming home) is now part of the Butler family. He was adopted at the Denver Dumb Friends League at 8:00 last night. I’ve named him Remmington Alexander Butler. Both owner (guardian, human companion—anything but the ‘m’ word) and dog are doing great.

The Book Challenge-- from Goodreads

Good Reads is one of my favorite sites. Not only do you have a community of book worms to share your favorite books with, but also a large database to find new books to read and an easy way to catalog/record your reading process. Simple put, it's a great site for book lovers. Heck, every time I log in, I discover a new feature. Today (being Sunday although this will be posted on Tuesday) I discovered a book group called 'The Book Challenge.' The originally idea for this group was to verbally comment to reading a self chosen amount of books. A couple of it's members made the challenge a little more difficult-- read 26 authors (or books) each starting with a different letter in a years time. Of course, everyone said it would be difficult to find an author with a name that started with 'X.' But I think it's doable (especially with Chinese names). I think I might start this goal at the beginning of the year.

Yes Man by Danny Wallace



Danny Wallace creates a fun and witty way on presenting his life as a 'Yes Man' for almost a year. When Wallace is told to 'say yes more' from a stranger on a bus, he decides to take the man up on the offer and ends up saying yes to everything until the beginning of the next year. He gets himself in situations that no one would ever want to be in. Very funny, although it did have a lull in the later part of the middle. Overall, great book and I can't wait to read more by him. This is a great read for everyone :)
