Well, at least I made some progress during my 12 hour journey from New Jersey back to California. I am hoping to keep up the momentum as my husband and brother drive across the USA (they are in Kentucky now, so I think I have some time!). I read a number of texts, so this

Guess what? I didn’t read anything in the last week. In fact, I failed to post about the Bad Feminist essay we are reading as a group in my last post, and figured I’d wrap it into this one– well, that’s the only update I have. I read Why I am a Bad Feminist by Roxanne
Hey out there! Where are you at with your reading? This is our halfway point, which is shocking and I’m quite behind myself– if you are, too, you are certainly not alone. 🙂 Hope you all are doing well and looking forward to learning about your progress. Lots of love, /A
Are we really half-way? Â It seems so hard to believe! Â I feel as if I’ve barely started this ten-week reading project with all of you, and here’s another week in which I did a terrible job keeping track of the number of pages I read. Â I’m somewhere in the ballpark, I think, possibly, maybe, perhaps??.

This week was really fun for reading! I read a number of different things, so let me get started. For starters, I read this wonderful NYT Essay about rudeness and how pervasive it is right now. The author’s stance was a little–British, but all in all, I thought it was a very timely read. She presents
I made it back and forth from Rochester, NY to Washington, D.C. with a less-than-twenty-four hour stop- over in New York City without one weather-related delay, an almost unheard-of  occurrence in this part of the country in February.  I attended the Association of Writers & Writing Programs Conference in D.C. along with twelve thousand other
Well, 14.5% makes me feel less ‘behind’ than I might really be– talk about massaging the data, ha! Ah, fake news– alternate facts– yes, indeed. I am at 293 pages since I finished reading the silly book I mentioned last week Pop Goes the Murder by Kristi Abbott, which was just stupid enough to keep me
