http://themantisconnection.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
A Personal Blog. For my book blog, please go here: The Overstuffed Bookcase. Wednesday, September 28, 2011. Banned Books Week: The Giver. Yesterday I wrote a post about one of the books I read for Banned Books Week. And Tango Makes Three. You can see the post here. Photo courtesy of goodreads.com. The other book I read for BBW was The Giver. By Lois Lowry. I can't believe I had never read it before! Well, it was published in 1993, which was a part of my "reading isn't cool" phase. So that makes sense.

Here it is, the 26th of November and I'm nearing the end of my third National Novel Writing Month ( NaNoWriMo. Then it all went to hell. So I changed it again. Now, mind you, I haven't been deleting anything, so my NaNo word count still includes what I wrote for the first two stories. But with this one, I only wrote about 1,000 words and got bored. Again. She had one on there about an author she repr...

The seventh book I read for the "Off the Shelf" Challenge was The Time Machine by H.G. Wells.
