Dewey's 24 Hour Read-A-Thon

Tomorrow is the big day.  And this year I am going BIG for this Read-A-Thon.  I have signed up to donated 3 books and to be an Angel as well as hosting a challenge.  Every year I look forward to this read-a-thon because I seem to get a book or two of my shelf.  Sometimes life wiggles in and I have to stop reading and tend to things like Macy's one day sales and family things.  But not this year!  Nope!  I am going to shut of the phone (or but it on silent), make zero other plans, and stack my kitchen with healthy snacks. 

Casting Couch #4

April has been a crazy busy month for me.  ARGH! Life is trying to get in the way of my reading and that is so not cool.  NOT COOL AT ALL!  I was planning on finishing more books than I actually read this month but...you know.  Honestly, I am glad April's over and I am sooo ready for a slower May.  So as my busy month comes to an end, I am only casting two books.  More next month.  Hopefully!  Fingers crossed!

April is National Poetry Month: April Rain Song

National Poetry Month is a celebration of poetry first introduced in 1996 by the Academy of American Poets as a way to increase awareness and appreciation of poetry in the United States. It is celebrated every April in the United States and (since 1999) in Canada as well. Since 2000 Great Britain has celebrated a National Poetry Month each October.

National Poetry Month was inspired by the success of Black History Month, held each February, and Women's History Month, held in March. In 1995, the Academy of American Poets convened a group of publishers, booksellers, librarians, literary organizations, poets, and teachers to discuss the need and usefulness of a similar month long holiday to celebrate poetry.
The first National Poetry Month was held in 1996.

As my personal celebration of poetry, I thought I would share a few poems with you during Poetry Month.  Feel free to add a poem in the comment section below or a link to a poem you like.
