I plan my book-related plans each Monday in a post called The Week Ahead. It so helps me with keeping on track!
I’m right with you on *Three Cups of Tea*! The writing was sacchrine-sweet, fawning over Mortenson.

Katie, thanks for visiting, but I’m not interested right now. Jupiter, yes, I think reading it aloud together is perfect: it’s written like poetry and it so hard to read, but little by little it’s doable. As for the Artist’s Way, it’s an interesting book. I’m working on the review this week, so watch for it.

I think reading Silmarillion together is an excellent idea. I have tried to read it and failed.Again and again.

I have a friend who has been using The Artists Way but I’m not sure it’s something that would clique with me….

Hi, my name is Katie and I am the editor of an online literary journal, One Real Story. I came across your site and wanted to invite you to become a short story review on One Real Story. Please check out the short story reviews on the site and let me know if you are interested.

Kim (Sophisticated Dorkiness), I started wondering if I'm too focused: is it still fun? And reading is still fun, more or less. I just need to stop being so concerned about when I finish things; I'll review it when I get a chance! No one is sitting around waiting for me....well except for you and my Three Cups of Tea review. It may be another week on that one.

I really admire your focus, both with this and the HTR&W challenge. I have to read so much required material for school at the moment that I don’t really mind when I can’t focus on the books I decide to read for fun — it just means my brain is worn out from whatever I was trying to focus on and I should look at something else.

The premise of Three Cups of Tea sounds so good, I’m looking forward to hear what you didn’t enjoy about it (if that makes any sense!)
