Book Discussion Challenge: reading nook
I spend a ridiculous amount of time in my car. My car IS my reading nook. I work in a noisy environment with no break room. So I spend my break reading in my car. I also occasionally give rides to one of my housemates and often end up waiting in my car with a book.
Spending my life in my car has also lead to my love of audiobooks. My library has a massive audiobook selection.

Patrick Girouard was assigned the task of creating the visuals for the 2013 Illinois Library Association’s iREAD® Summer reading project. The theme was “Have Book Will Travel” and here is his journey around the world.
What a trip!
Just spent about 2 hours sorting through the ARC sign up sheets and emailing potential book bloggers and reviewers… I think I sent about 50 emails 😮 Now my head hurts. Quick, someone please remind me, why am I doing this job again?

”I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! – When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.”
