Thirty Books

Crap.

October 30, 2010

So, the day after tomorrow is November 1st.  Which is exactly 2 months away from the end of this challenge. Here’s the deal: I’m probably not going to finish 30 books in time. There.  I said it. Now that I got it off my chest, I want you to know that I’m not giving up. [...]

I’m weird. So what!?

October 17, 2010

I finished Wasted in the same fashion I finish most books:  Desperately trying to read quickly before I have to leave for work/go to bed/walk the dog/catch a train.  But this one was an easy read.  And what I mean by that is that it’s not hard to put down.  It’s easy to keep going [...]

Book # something (My count is all wrong): Wasted

October 6, 2010

Sorry for that last rant.  Just had to get it off my chest!  MOVING ON!  Next book:  Wasted: A Memoir of Anorexia and Bulemia by Marya Hornbacher. Barnes & Noble knows me.  They know that if they put a pile of books that say “Buy Two!  Get one Free!”  I will at least pick up [...]

Homegirl and I got some shizz in common

October 5, 2010

{You may know that I write a Healthy Living blog called The Chase Project.  It’s nothing fantastical, but I like to talk about the steps I take toward Choosing Health And Self Esteem.  Anyway, if you’ve read this blog and that blog, you might notice that my “writer’s voice” is very different on each one, [...]

Here we go.

October 4, 2010

I’m down my last ten books, which means I’ve read 20 books so far this year. Twenty books in 40 weeks. That puts me a little behind my pace, but it’s still an impressive feat in my eyes. I think I’m much like many Americans that sometimes it takes the heavy heat of a looming [...]

Book #22: Animal, Vegetable, Miracle

September 29, 2010

Anyone who knows me, knows I’m a big fan of NPR.  If there was one downfall to my otherwise ideal 15 minute walking commute, it’s that I don’t get to listen to NPR in the car on my way to work.  I love running errands on Saturday mornings because the lineup on WYPR is ideal: [...]

The Art of Racing in the Rain.

September 6, 2010

I have been so, well, absent from my sweet, sweet blog.  And it’s not just this one, it’s the other one too.  I just have to chalk it up to: Trying to squeeze the last few weeks out of summerTrying to live my life to its fullest Choosing sleep over (fill in the blank) Ever since [...]

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

August 25, 2010

I finally finished Three Cups of Tea during a pedicure today.  I am not exaggerating when I say, I would have rather been reading insurance textbooks again. Seriously. If I didn’t make the rule that I have to finish any book I started, I would have dropped this one a long time ago.  I think the hardest part for me was that I had [...]

Seriously, Chase? 2011, already?

August 12, 2010

What does it mean that I’m already looking forward to my 2011 goals?  I still have a solid 4 and a half months (more than a third!) left of 2010, so why jump the gun?  Well, here’s what I have to say about that. I’ve learned a lot about myself through blogging this year and [...]

I look good for my age?

August 1, 2010

Not much else falls into “Chase’s favorite Summer activities” more than going to baseball games. I just love the whole atmosphere.  Maybe it’s in my blood, or maybe just because I grew up going to a lot of games… I dunno.  It’s just the best. So last night, Boyfriend and I headed over to NatsTown [...]
