Time and Place | It’s about 2 p.m. and I’m sitting in my favorite chair with the windows wide open behind me. It’s a beautiful day and I’m a little brain dead so this is going to be short!
Reading | I read a lot yesterday. Thank you, Readathon. I’m not sure how much I will read today, but if I do pick up a book it’ll be Lesser Beasts by Mark Essig (May 5 from Basic Books) or The Sixth Extinction by Elizabeth Kolbert.
Watching | My current favorite show is iZombie on The CW. It’s delightful. And, for the moment, the actor who played Arthur on Merlin is on the show in a recurring role. He’s damn charming. The boyfriend and I are also watching the third season of Orphan Black. Tatiana Maslany continues to be amazing.
Listening | I’ve got two audio books going at the moment, Missoula by Jon Krakauer and God Help the Child by Toni Morrison.
Blogging | In addition to post about the Readathon yesterday and sharing my potential book stack, I wrote about an awesome memoir — It’s What I Do by Lynsey Addario.
Hating | I’m tired of having bad things happen to good people. It’s been like six weeks of bad news and I am just over it. Work last week was also pretty stressful, so that’s put me in a mood.
Loving | Two things that made me happy this week: Disney songs remixed as 90s slow jams and Obama’s anger translator showing up at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner.
Avoiding | I need to get my eating habits back in shape… but I just made chocolate chip cookies. So… yeah.
Anticipating | We’re supposed to have gorgeous weather this week… maybe even into the 80s by next weekend. I anticipate many long walks and an evening or two eating outside. Joy.
Happy Sunday, everyone! What are you reading today?

Really excited to hear what you think about Missoula! My library’s copies are still on order, but I’m really anxious to read it.
I hear you on the bad news. We need something joyful in our lives!
I hope the bad news come to an end soon. That crap gets draining. Here’s hoping plenty of good news follows.
Crap. Now I’m going to have to start recording iZombie. 🙂
i heard iZombie was really good! I haven’t had a chance to watch it yet though. Right now I’m making my way through The Mindy Project.
I’m dying to read Missoula…love me some Krakauer!
I hear you on the readathon hangover! I think I’m finally caught up on sleep.
I just put a hold on Missoula; I can’t wait to read it!
You can’t put “avoid” and “cookies” in the same line!
Hope you have a great weather this week and you can enjoy some walks. I’m thinking of doing that too!
Oh my Orphan Black! I am going out of my mind that I have to wait a whole week to see another episode. I almost want to quit and just binge on it at the end – but I can’t because I just have to know! My heart hurts for Helena.
I look forward to hearing how Missoula is. I so want to read, and yet am so afraid.
I’ve heard great things about Missoula and Toni Morrison’s latest. I really want to listen to both now. I also hear amazing things about Orphan Black I have been meaning to watch it. One of these days…
I hope you recovered from your readathon hangover. I think mine was delayed by 24 hours. I really struggled today at work. Have a great week!
I’m reading Life from Scratch, a food memoir which I’m enjoying but which hasn’t grabbed me yet. I think I might listen to the new Toni Morrison book on audio, too. Thanks for the idea!
Sounds like you had a great read-a-thon! I love Orphan Black, but trying to finish a few other shows first before jumping into this season. I’ve been curious about iZombie. Is it funny or more dramatic?
I also experienced extreme readathon hangover the next day, and unfortunately I had to come into work on a sunday! It sounds like you had a great readathon though. And ah, I really want to read Missoula!
