My life is a pocketful of rainbows.

So, here I am...
***This blog was Established 2005***
And I am slowly reestablishing it.

I love English Lit! I have a fascination with puns, satire and tropes. I relish sharing the latest logic puzzle I've found. I advocate for education reform. I read Spanish much more fluently than I speak it. I know a lot of German. I dabble in SEVERAL languages .... including writing, history and knowledge of cultures. I am very interested in urban farming and self-sufficiency. Huge Douglas Adams, Roger Zelazny and Piers Anthony fan. I like reading Stephen King/Richard Bachman. I could spend hours with Terry Brooks and Shannara. T.S. Garp and I would get along famously. Avid Armchair Traveler ... especially Italy and Mongolia. Miicroadventures rock! I homeroast green coffee beans ... my fave are those from Chiapas, Mexico. I try new teas and those from Scotland make me smile. Friends and family are AWESOME!

I hope that something made you smile today!.

SPOOPATHON


"...you are trapped in a haunted house. The only way out of the haunted house is through reading prompts."


I decided to be on this TEAM because I might want to make my journey more suited to me ... I'm like that sometimes. :-)
"The team with the most points at the end of the readathon become haunted house royalty."
Now on to the starting prompts ...


I picked a book with a black cover. This novella was the inspiration for the movie The Shawshank Redemption. This standalone is just 144 pages ... it made for an interesting and quick start to the month-long readathon that I found late. :-)

And then I find that I have read the actual book (but loved the reread). I've read a lot and this happens a lot. I really do need to start a database. What are your reading pet peeves??
This novella has awesome last few lines. :-) They just make me happy.
FINISHED

This loosely goes along with the book plot. I love the song!

And the next prompt ...


This is also a re-read but I am much fuzzier on the details to this one. Nazi-occupied Holland, crime and a doppelgänger.
This book is compared to Camus! I am on page 13 of 421. Thus far, several characters are disturbed/dysfunctional/messed up.
