Netgalley & Edelweiss Reading Challenge 2014

I'm addicted to requesting ARCs from Netgalley and Edelweiss, so finding the Netgalley & Edelweiss Reading Challenge hosted by Falling for YA is perfect for me!  I'll actually read all my requests perhaps!

I'm going to aim for an achievable goal, so I'm trying for: Silver – 25 books. (But I'm tempted to up it to 50 -- we'll see how my first half of the year goes!)

Did I finish?: I did, although I lingered!
One-sentence summary: Twenty-three essays on writing and reading by a passionate, sharp, reader and author.
Reading Challenges:Dewey Decimal

Do I like the cover?: I really do -- the soft colors and the spare layout really appeal to me, and, lame as it may be, I want that desk and chair and typewriter to be my writer-ly writing room.

I'm reminded of...: Anne Lamott

First line: We live in a fast-forward world.

Did... I squee a little seeing Thaisa Frank quoted in this volume?: YES. I've really enjoyed Thaisa Frank's writing, and love seeing people I love getting love, and discovered she's not related to this author (as Joan Frank explains in her A…

Seen both at Mailbox Monday -- hosted in February at Metro Reader -- and The Story Siren, my Mailbox Monday/In My Mailbox. What an insane week! And by insane, I mean, amazing. This might win for the most arrivals in a week since I've started blogging. Honestly, my jaw is on the ground -- I'm blown away and super excited to read all these. What did you get this week? Read any of these?

Mailbox Monday, May 21

May's Mailbox Monday is hosted at Martha’s Bookshelf. I think this week I got the most books ever in a week and I'm flabbergasted. My picture of the stack doesn't even include all the e-ARCs, obviously -- what a week! I feel like a kid at Christmas -- just giddy with delight. I don't even know where to start! What did you get this week? Read any of these? As usual, click a cover to learn more about the book (link will open in a new tab/window). Do you still like this format or is it getting too image heavy? Should I switch back to the list?
