#NaNoWriMo Readathon Saturday, November 3, 2018

Happy National Novel Writing Month!

This is what you missed at the #NaNoWriMo Readathon at the Bowie Branch Library Saturday, November 3^rd:

novelists

a poet

an essayist

a playwright

a memoirist

dedicated readers

games

free “I <3 Books” T-shirts

All brought together by a phenomenal librarian!

Where are the photos of the event and my display? You ask.

Well, snapping pics never seems to make it onto my mental to-do list until AFTER an event has ended. (A chronic oversight that’s likely Freudian in nature.) Blame my camera averse inner hermit, who also didn’t want to video record my segment. But my parents* (the same people who frequently call me about “fixing” the solid blue screen on their television) did. The blurry photo of me standing in profile leaning forward with my shirt baggy at the waist (SO flattering!) is their contribution as my self-appointed film crew. (It was a very good natural hair day though.)

All of the writers were captivating as they read excerpts of their impressive work and discussed their creative development quandaries. Their work was gritty, poignant, humorous, melancholy, provocative, emotionally layered, and a whole array of engaging elements.

Thank you to the librarian who coordinated the Readathon, all of the talented participants, and the supportive attendees who were such enthusiastic listeners and gracious beta testers as players of Tic Tac Trope. Everyone contributed to making it a fun event.

Until the next event,

I <3 Booklovers,

Cardyn

Tapping into Your Power

The following two books celebrate powerful characters who overcome their fears to manifest their greatness for the benefit of themselves, their loved ones and communities. So satisfying.

The advantages, responsibilities, and consequences of being powerful are explored with nuanced observations, humor, and compassion. Themes on distinctions between family by blood, choice, and intention weave throughout this poignant tale about paying attention and recognizing personal details as fundamental to the evolution of one's perspective on who and what are valuable. One of my favorite passages from the end of chapter nineteen: Like this was a thing that had, somehow, become...

Beach Reads That Sizzle (in Many Ways)

It's a miracle that so many actual and imagined human young survive into adulthood, and then on to old age. The following books offer entertaining and provocative tales of challenges, misadventures, and triumphs.
