• It's Almost Spring Reading Thing 2009 Time!

  
  

  
  

  
  It's almost time for the Spring Reading Thing 2009! You can read about the details of this no/low pressure reading challenge at http://callapidderdays.com/2009/03/spring-reading-thing-2009-giveaways-prizes-miscellany.html. (Just so you know: there are books that can be won by participating).
  
  I'll be posting my reading list soon. I find that the more challenging I make my list (1) the more I am likely to read, and (2) the more likely I am to read books that weren't on my original list. So, if I want to read the books that I REALLY need/want to read, I need to engage in some of my famous/infamous "Miss Chris School of Reverse Psychologizing" techniques.
  
  Also, those of you who have read my reading lists in the past know that I usually also post an addendum or two (what is the proper plural of "addendum"? "Addendae"? ::snort!::) with the music CDs and movies/television DVDs I plan to be entertained by for the coming three months.
  
  Speaking of "CDs" and "DVDs": I find myself absolutely confused these days as to whether to put an apostrophe between the "D" and the "s". I think I am going to side with Lynne Truss (she who wrote Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation) and avoid the wrath of the Apostrophe Protection Society. Hence, I will NOT put an apostrophe between the "D" and the "s".
  
  Off with me. I have unlimited instant watching hours on Netflix for the rest of this month and I crave some Fawlty Towers. Due to a visitor on Sunday, I was unable to get to the library to check out any DVDs <-sans the apostrophe! ::snort!::
  
  Bibliophiles/Bookworms, Unite!
  
  Signed,
  Miss Chris
