Total # of books for the year: 26 of 85. I managed to read for 22 hours and 19 minutes this week for the week-long mini-readathon. I would have hit the goal of 24 hours if I hadn’t fallen asleep on the couch on Sunday. However, now that I know it’s possible, 24 hours of reading time will be my new goal for the next Bout of Books.

Total # of books for the year: 22 of 85. My back pain is gone and I’m up and about again, though taking it easy just to be safe. I participated in a 2-hour mini-readathon while also joining in the #LitsyPartyOfOne. This week, I’ll be doing the week-long mini-readathon and attempting to read for a total of 24 hours by the time I go to bed on Sunday.

This is my 3rd year blogging about books! I, unfortunately, won’t be doing anything special since I hurt my back on Sunday and have been conserving my energy to be able to survive work. However, I do have plans to get back to a fuller blog schedule. I miss writing reviews, “Tuesday’s Tunes”, “Wednesday’s Words”, and “Friday’s Fairytales.” I also want to get back to posting “Thursday’s Things” at least monthly.
Here’s to another year!

Total # of books for the year: 19 of 85. I had planned on “Dresden Files” #4 being my “work” book, but I found myself reaching for it as soon as I got home, and I couldn’t put it down this weekend. I HAD to finish it. Now I’m itching to read the next one, but I really need to finish up the other books I’m reading first.

Total # of books for the year: 18 of 85. The Boyfriend’s Mom visited this weekend to celebrate his Birthday. We ate a lot of food and had a good time talking and catching up. By Sunday, I was wiped out. So, I didn’t get a whole lot of reading done over the weekend, but I made up for it during the week. I removed Facebook and Twitter from the home screen of my phone, and I’ve been reading more during my breaks at work as a result.

How did I not know about #TolkienReadingDay?! In addition to celebrating the Gondorian New Year and the downfall of Sauron, March 25th is set aside each year to honor the work of J.R.R. Tolkien.
The Tolkien Society started the wonderful Tolkien Reading Day in 2003 to encourage fans to celebrate and promote the life and works of J.R.R. Tolkien by reading favorite passages and attending events. Unfortunately, it looks like the majority of the events take place across the pond. Perhaps that’s why I’ve never heard of Tolkien Reading Day before Middle Earth News posted about it a couple days ago.
Tolkien Reading Day is organized around a particular theme each year. This year’s theme is “Poetry and Songs in Tolkien’s Fiction.” Since I love anything to do with Hobbits, I’ll be reading (and singing) my favorite Hobbit songs and poems:
Will you be celebrating Tolkien Reading Day? What will you be reading?
