Booking Through Thursday

A weekly meme about (mostly) books and reading.

But, enough about books… February 7, 2008

Filed under: Wordpress — --Deb @ 1:09 am

Okay, even I can’t read ALL the time, so I’m guessing that you folks might voluntarily shut the covers from time to time as well… What else do you do with your leisure to pass the time? Walk the dog? Knit? Run marathons? Construct grandfather clocks? Collect eggshells?


Don’t forget to leave a link to your actual response (so people don’t have to go searching for it) in the comments—or if you prefer, leave your answers in the comments themselves!

    I love this question. Yes, we have lives outside our books ahaha. I love to draw, among other things. You can read it in full here. Happy BTT!

    I really did think this would be an interesting question–we’ve got so many people here who love to read, but it’s like an intersection on many, different roads. I wanted to see what other directions we travel when we’re not “together.”

    Obviously, Knitting City is a popular destination….

    Well considering I work for the world’s leading provider of satellite entertainment TV runs a very close 2nd in our house. Our DVRs (upstairs and down) are always working overtime. We record 99% of what we watch and skip commericals. DVRs are a wonderful invention. I’m sure I’d watch a LOT less if we didn’t have them. The hubby doesn’t help either considering he’s TV junkie, said with loving affection.

    I haven’t picked up a cross stitch project in over 2 years because the children (read: cats) get their noses out of joint when mom’s lap is suddenly unavailable. It’s been staked out as their private domain and they even have a hierarchy as to who sits where. Doesn’t everyone know it’s much easier to hold your book in a position that doesn’t bother the furry lap rug then to try and read patterns and poke tiny needles in even tinier holes.
