Suzanne’s Printz Reading Project — 2010 Winner Summary

I have now read 52 books in this crazy project. I was telling someone yesterday that I was struggling to get through the book I was (then) currently reading -- but I *had* to finish it, no matter what, because of this completely arbitrary goal I had set myself. I did finish that book (The ... VIEW POST

“The Monstrumologist” by Rick Yancey

Dear book, It's me, not you. I think I can see why you won lots of awards, but you didn't do it for me.

I posted last weekend about it, whining about how I just a little bit of the ... VIEW POST

“Going Bovine” by Libba Bray

"Going Bovine" is a strange trip of a book. I read this a few years ago, probably close to when it was first published.

“This quilt is taking forever” — a pathetic story, by Suzanne

This is the quilt I wanted to finish over the weekend, but ignored in favor of apples.  I feel like it's taking forever, because it is. I think the original post about starting it is buried in the blog archives here, somewhere around 2010 (ish?). The machine quilting got started around the first of ... VIEW POST
