For today’s literary installment, I thought it would be fun to take some online quizzes and share my results. I’m posting links, so please take them too and let me know what you get! *** One: What’s Your Reading Personality? Take the quiz here. My results: All-Rounder! Your responses showed you fitting equally into all four reading personalities: Involved Reader: You don’t just love to read books, you love to read about books. For you, half the fun of reading is the thrill of the chase – discovering new books and authors, and discussing your finds with others. Exacting Reader: You love books but you rarely have as much time to read as you’d like – so you’re very particular…

From me and Cameron: See the cuteness that I’m forced to deal with?? This week I’m putting my life back together, getting things taken care of, and coming back to myself. I finally scheduled a date to have my wisdom teeth removed, and did a lot of research to find myself a primary care doctor. I’m finishing books and planning my return to the exercising world.

It was such a great weekend that I am about to relive it right here – not for YOUR benefit, per se – but for my own.

Goodreads iPhone app! Y’all should know by now that I love Goodreads. I’ve been dying for an app for a long time, and it’s finally here. Now I can post updates of my reading progress, browse books, add to my “to read” list, and read reviews from anywhere! More info here. Nintendo enthusiast! The lovely people at Brand About Town have chosen me to share my love for Nintendo. I’ve got a Wii and a Wii Fit Plus on the way, which will be perfect for helping me ease back into exercising after all these health setbacks. My new triathlon goal date is August, and there will certainly be some 100+ degree days where I won’t want to go outside…

Let’s talk about something that makes me happy, shall we? Get me into a conversation about books, and I can almost guarantee that I will forget whatever woes I had been dwelling on, at least for awhile. Here are some questions that I found going around the interwebs a long time ago, and have been meaning to answer: The book that’s been on your shelf the longest… Most of my childhood books are still at my parents’ house (I’ll have to get those back at some point), but I do have one: Heidi by Johanna Spyri. It was given to me in 1991, when I was 9 years old. A book that reminds you of a specific person, place, or…
