342,745 Ways to Herd Cats(Otherwise known as the Awesome Book Challenge)May 1st - November 30thSO. The jist, for those who forgot, or missed my last post about this: * Compose a list of ten books you love.
* Link it here.
* Over the course of the challenge (which runs 5/01-11/30), read at least three books from other people's lists.
* Post reviews of the books you read and share them with the wooorld. That's it! Sounds easy, right? Sounds fun, right? Sounds like a totally awesome way to be introduced to new books, right? Then what the heck are you waiting for? Sign up! Without further ado... So that's it! If anyone else decides to join in, let me know~! I'd love to see your lists. Oh, and pimping this challenge is also highly encouraged, whether you participate or not! Happy reading! P.S. Please let me know if any links are wonky; this is highly likely as there were so dang many of them. Current Mood:  accomplished , pimp, reading, reading challenge
11th April, 200808:15 pm: Somehow or another, it's mostly about reading.
I've been lax in updating again. (And reading/commenting on the flist, too; I actually intend to go back and catch up somewhat tonight/tomorrow, so don't be surprised if you get a comment from me on an older entry.) I actually have a few things I meant to talk about, but FIRST! ( Yeah, I'm gonna talk about Bleach here [some very vague spoilers, I guess]... )On to other things! BULLET POINT STYLE! :O - I've been working on my
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) jump_exchange fic pretty diligently the past few days, which is good! For a long time, I was just failing at coming up with the motivation to actually write, though I've had the idea for a good long time. I'm almost done with the first draft (thanks in large part to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) danbi being awesome and encouraging), and it's actually shaping up to be quite a bit longer than I originally thought it would be. Not a bad thing, really, I just need to work on it double-time this weekend to make sure I can finish in time to have my betas look over it (btw, anyone else who's current/nearly current on Bleach, I wouldn't mind another pair or two of eyes to look it over--let me know!) so I can get it all fixed up by the due date. Not too worried just yet.
- via mekosuchinae: bottle_of_shine is hosting a reading challenge on her journal, which looks double-plus
good awesome. The jist of it is:
* Sign up!
* Compose a list of ten books you love, then share it.
* Read at least three books recommended by other participants, then review the books you've read.
I'm totally doing this, and you should too! Seems like a great way to get book recs! :D
- Oh, and in that vein, remember the whole "reading journal" thing I was planning to do? I got sort of sidetracked on that, in large part because the last one I tried writing (focused on the Twilight series, and especially Eclipse) was so disjointed and hfdsahfs that I had to give up on it for a while. Well. The other day I started doing a write-up of it again. It's not done, quite (I set it aside to concentrate on my jump_exchange assignment), but expect to see it soon. And since so many people on the flist have read the series, I'm looking forward to having some good discussion when it's posted. So be on the lookout for that. Though, uh, just a warning, not all of my thoughts are flattering. >.>
- The Persona -trinity soul- anime may not be that particularly astounding, but I lovelovelove the ending theme. I'll upload it later tonight from work, where I have access to a better internet connection, but in the meantime, check it out here
ETA: Okay, it's uploaded now! -->Suicides Love Story<--.
Mmkay, I think those are the main points for now! P.S. - the_firefly! I got your package! ♥!!! -- but, uhm. The DVD you sent me is apparently. Blank. Tried it on three computers and none of them can read anything on it. :\Current Mood:  sooo excited , books, bullet point time, pimp, reading, reading challenge, writing
