DeeDee's October 2012 First Toppler
date
newest »




I've read Joseph J. Ellis's books American Sphinx: The Character of Thomas Jefferson and Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation and felt I really learned something new and interesting about those people and that historical time. I've had His Excellency: George Washington on my mental TBR ever since it came out in 2004 and so it's about time that I get around to it.
I've got a stack of other books for this week sitting here -- I probably can't get to all of them, especially as I need to pick out an Orange book (since I missed August).









Reading 2 now, both GREEN:




Sleeping Naked is Green: How an Eco-Cynic Unplugged Her Fridge, Sold Her Car, and Found Love in 366 Days (2009) by Vanessa Farquharson (Paperback, 267 pages)
Vanessa Farquharson for one year made a change in her life to live more "green". She kept an online blog during the year. This book includes the more interesting posts from that year. And, yes, one of the days her "green" thing was to sleep naked LOL.

Sleeping Naked is Gr..."
Come on, where's the DIY photo?;)


His Excellency: George Washington (2004) by Joseph J. Ellis
Pages actually read: 275 pages
Not sure how to score this one ....

I've finished Odd Apocalypse but I finished it 12 hours after the end of toppler.
Now I have a strategy for the NEXT toppler. #1: start the toppler on the correct day and not 24 hours later LOL.


Yep I had fun!
When's the next one? :)

Yes, and you don't want to be 24 hours late on a 24 hour long toppler. :)

But I can begin now ....
I've been reading Children of the Night but I started that yesterday so I don't think it counts for toppler. The next book I start does!
