All I am saying...

is that left-handers understand...As a left-hander myself, I appreciate some of the quotes of more famous left-handers. These are some of my favorites and I feel they are expressions of how peace may be contemplated or construed. Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. ...

Current reads...

nancybrady — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 06:57:18 -0800

I haven't been reading as much lately. Well, that's not exactly true, but I haven't been reading too many books. I have been doing some proofing for some manuscripts. It is a whole different type of reading as everyone here knows. What becomes difficult, when proofing, is when the story becomes so intriguing that I become engrossed in the story. Despite the proofing, I have just ...

I'm so excited...countdown to The Pointer Sisters, part 2

nancybrady — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 18:06:11 -0800

Last night, The Pointer Sisters concert was just phenomenal! Lots of energy to go with the songs. From a medley of "Yes You Can Can" and "Betcha Got a Chick on the Side" from their early days to more recent songs like "Fire", "Neutron Dance" and "Totally Automatic"(to name but a few), the ladies belted out hit after hit to benefit the ...

I'm so excited...countdown to The Pointer Sisters

nancybrady — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 18:24:14 -0800

Tomorrow night, I'm going to see The Pointer Sisters in concert. I'm not a big concert person, at least not like my friend Suzanne who porbably goes to twenty or thirty Bruce Springsteen concerts every year. Okay, maybe not quite that many, but a lot. Suffice it to say, she's always been into the "Boss" as long as I've known her (nearly thirty years), but I digress.However, I have ...

Favorite bookstore???

nancybrady — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 11:55:55 -0800

A favorite bookstore? I don't know that I have a favorite bookstore. One favorite book, yes! In fact, I blogged about that about a month or so ago, but not a particular, favorite bookstore. I have found all sorts of bookstore to be treasures, and I love browsing them all. I suppose I could say that my favorite will be the one I hope to own someday. I hope it will be like the bookstore ...

Numbers...

nancybrady — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:52:01 -0800

While I am not much of a math person, I am fascinated with numbers. In this regard, I have watched my statistics here add up throughout the months. It seemed like it took forever before I broke 1000. 2000 was a bit quicker, and with each benchmark, it seemed like it happened almost logimetrically until just recently...as I have been nearing 6000. I expect it will happen sometime tomorrow, but ...

bookcrossing,..RABCK and beyond, the readathon continues..

nancybrady — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:43:13 -0800

Quick blog...I "wild released" a book, Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card today and have had several released books (through the RABCK) show up on the site in the past few days. The latest just showed up a few minutes ago and was number 2 on the list of "recently caught" as of ten minutes ago.More importantly, the recipient journaled the book, McGowan's Call by Rob Smith, ...

Bookcrossing readathon, and a new book...

nancybrady — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 19:59:08 -0800

Well, the bookcrossing readathon is on! Despite working for the last three days, I have managed to put in about six hours of the twenty-four desired. Whether or not I manage the twenty-four hours is immaterial; it's the thrill of the chase, in a sense. In this quest I have finished Ender's Shadow. I have also read some manuscripts or portions there of. I have lots of reading choices right ...

Bookcrossing readathon

nancybrady — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 17:55:12 -0700

As a member of bookcrossing.com I have agreed to read for twenty-four hours over the next week. Once a month, they have a readathon and tonight at midnight starts the twenty-four hours. While I read quite a bit (so far, this year I have read over fifty books), reading for twenty-four hours seems a bit daunting right now because I am just about to head into the heaviest part of my work ...

bookcrossing,..RABCK and beyond

nancybrady — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 19:57:06 -0700

I have been a bookcrosser for about ten months or so, but have only recently gotten into the forums there. I started a RABCK for my birthday month and am giving away up to ten books. You'd think other bookcrossers would jump on it. Nah, I have not had too many takers! Can readers be over-booked? I didn't think it was possible to have too many books. I always have something on my TBR ...
