		<title>Thinging Through Tuesday: Weekly Memes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What other weekly memes or round robins do you participate in? Is this the only one? Why Tuesday Thingers and not some other weekly Tuesday meme? Or do you do more than one? Before participating in the &#8220;Tuesday Thingers&#8221; group, I had never joined a blog ring, never even really heard of these weekly memes. I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thinging Through Tuesday: Sources</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cataloging sources. What cataloging sources do you use most? Any particular reason? Any idiosyncratic choices, or foreign sources, or sources you like better than others? Are you able to find most things through LT&#8217;s almost 700 sources? I never really paid attention to which sources I use, but LibraryThing keeps track for me! According to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thinging Through Tuesday: Recommendations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Do you use LT&#8217;s recommendations feature? Have you found any good books by using it? Do you use the anti-recommendations, or the &#8220;special sauce&#8221; recommendations? How do you find out about books you want to read? Whoops. I&#8217;m a day late with this. Somehow, the combination of things this week and a busy work day [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fragile Heritage by Sara Hytlon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After two disappointing books right in a row, I decided that I needed to read something that I would definitely enjoy. I picked up Fragile Heritage off the shelf because it&#8217;s been a while since I read it. I was about due. I have to say right now that I adore this story. I love [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What site(s) do you use? How did you find out about them? What do you think of them? Do you use LT&#8217;s book-swapping column feature for information on what to swap? Do you participate in any of the LT communities that discuss bookswapping, like the Bookmooch group for example? I have at one time or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Summer Blowout by Claire Cook</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After reading and being wholly disappointed in Rococo, I was hoping that my new ER book, Summer Blowout, would be satisfying and enjoyable. The comments on the Early Reviewer group on LibraryThing weren&#8217;t very glowing, but I still had hope. After all, chick lit is one of my favorite genres! As I&#8217;m sure you could [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rococo by Adriana Trigiani</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was given this book as part of a swap from a community on Livejournal. I really, really enjoyed Lucia, Lucia by the same when I read it a couple of years ago, and I thought that I might like to try some of her other books. Rococo was the first that I came across [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Magician&#8217;s Nephew by C.S. Lewis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I finished The Magician&#8217;s Nephew almost all in one day. I&#8217;m sad to be nearly finished with these books! Here&#8217;s the sixth part of my Narnia books read-together: The Bear was especially kind. During the afternoon he found a wild bees&#8217; nest and insted of eating it himself (which he would very much like to [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Belated Reason to Celebrate!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I enjoy marking momentous occasions, and usually can time things just right, but without realizing it, I passed this one. I&#8217;ve hit 100 posts! Actually, the post about The Horse and His Boy was my 100th post, but I didn&#8217;t realize it until afterward, and then I didn&#8217;t want to post about hitting 100 yesterday, [...]]]></description>

Do you read local literature as part of your trip? Have you thought about using the LT Local feature to help plan your book-buying? Since I started a new [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been really enjoying reading the Chronicles of Narnia with people, and I&#8217;m sad that it&#8217;s almost over. I finished The Horse and His Boy on Saturday. I really enjoyed it. Here&#8217;s the next part of the discussion: Aravis also had many quarrels (and, I&#8217;m afraid, even fights) with Cor, but they always made [...]]]></description>

		<title>Specials by Scott Westerfeld</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I gotUglies for my SantaThing, I was pretty excited to read it. I hadn&#8217;t heard of it before I got it as a gift, so I went into reading it with absolutely no expectations associated with it. Uglies turned out to be somewhat of a disappointment - the writing style left something to be desired [...]]]></description>

		<title>Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has been very strange reading the Harry Potter books so slowly, especially knowing that I could devour most or all of these first two books in one day given the opportunity and attention span. I&#8217;ve been reading Chamber of Secrets over the last three weeks (though I&#8217;m technically not supposed to have finished the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy Independence Day!</title>

I&#8217;ve never been much for this holiday because of how it has terrified my pets when the fireworks start in earnest, but this year, I&#8217;m kind of excited for it. We have no real plans and I don&#8217;t know that we&#8217;ll even go out to see any [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been about a year since I started re-blogging at this site in earnest (the &#8220;shut down&#8221; earlier this year notwithstanding), and I thought I&#8217;d check in again to address the state of the Road. Right now, I&#8217;m using a theme by BlogohBlog (no link; I will not advertise for him) who uses his free [...]]]></description>

Johnathan was nice enough to pick up the few ingredients that we needed for it and though we didn&#8217;t make it that day, it is nice to know that he&#8217;ll enable my occasional chocolate [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thinging Through Tuesday: LT&#8217;s Most Popular Books</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week&#8217;s prompt is regarding the 100 most popular books on LibraryThing. It&#8217;s a familiar meme format, so I&#8217;ll just get going with it, shall I? Here is a list of the Top 100 Most Popular Books on LibraryThing. Bold what you own, italicize what you&#8217;ve read. Star what you liked. Star multiple times what [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pretties by Scott Westerfeld</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After receiving Uglies as a gift from the SantaThing project at LibraryThing last Christmas, I felt like I had to get Pretties and Specials so that I could at least find out how the story ends. Something that really gets me with this story is how difficult it is for me to read. Westerfeld&#8217;s writing [...]]]></description>

After that, the Head&#8217;s friends saw that the Head was no use as a Head, so they got her made an Inspector to interfere with other Heads. [...]]]></description>
