So I most definitely didn't complete the 48 hour challenge. Nor did I really even start it. Right now, I'm stuck twenty pages into Catchfire. Whoops.
I'm going to have to make a trip to the library (and by that, I mean Emmaus, Solehi, and, most definitely, Bethlehem) to take out books on tape to put on my Zune. At work, we're allowed to listen to mp3-players, so I ended up listening to the first five Harry Potters that way during the month leading up to Deathly Hallows. This year I'm planning to do the entire LOTR, and maybe even brush up on some Dickens or Jane Austen. I'll definitely have to get Portuguese Irregular Verbs, and the other two books in that trilogy (if you will).
That was also how I finished Whales on Stilts! (It's an excellent listen), and the third Septimus Heap, and The Thief Lord and The Tale of Despereaux, and, um, other ones that I can't recall at the moment.
The libraries here around have a pretty nice selection of books on cd. Emmaus even offers this download of the audio files of some books (on their website). The catch is, you can't burn them to your iPod or Zune (I'm not too keen on lugging my laptop around just so I can listen to a book).
But anyway. I'll probably also do the entire seven books of HP again. Probably.
About Me
- Becky
- I always hate summarizing myself. I love lots of things and hate having to choose one or two in answer to "What do you do?" or "Tell me about yourself." So I usually just describe myself as a film major, which I am. But I don't usually view myself as that; it's just an easy explanation. I could say what I'm fascinated by: architecture, education, folklore, history, the Muppets, film history, music, languages, writing, reading (kid's/YA, mostly), etc. And that'd be accurate, but I don't want to choose just one or two of those interests to define myself or create my career (except maybe writer. I could settle for that). I want them all, and more than that, but that's hard to get across in a twenty second introduction. So I'll just say "I'm Becky. Nice to meet you." and leave it at that for the time being.
