It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (November 12): 11/12/18
I'm now well and truly swamped in Cybils. The floor of my living room is covered in piles of books I'm reading for the first round. As so much of my reading time is going into the Cybils, my fun reading is being pushed to the back burner. On a normal week I would have finished Sweep but I'm only fifty pages into it.
In other news, the staircase from the backyard to the back hill has finally been built. The contractors will come back sometime soon to also build a matching fence/railing at the top of the wall.
I finished the macaw painting. Then I took a vote on Twitter and Facebook to help me decide the next painting. I had two canvases left for this first set of paintings. The bird that got the most votes was the rosy cockatoo I photographed a couple years ago in Vancouver at the Bloedel Conservatory during their holiday lights display.
On Saturday night my son and I went to see a local production of Blood Wedding put on by the theater arts department at Cal State East Bay. It was very well done. And while I'm watching TV at night I'm doing Nanowrimo. What I read:

I just finished it. Comment #3: Sunday, November 11, 2018 at 21:32:37 Laura @ Library of Clean Reads I know what it's like to have to push aside my fun reading to make place for review books. Your satirs look great! Comment #4: Tuesday, November 13, 2018 at 23:15:00 Pussreboots Come January I'll be free to read what ever I want. I'm already planning what I'm going to read. Comment #5: Monday, November 12, 2018 at 09:20:25 I love the colors for the cockatoo painting! Very cool. And there are so many books listed here that I want to read now, way too many to list. Have fun with all of your projects! :) Comment #6: Tuesday, November 13, 2018 at 23:19:00 Pussreboots Thank you. I have a ways to go with the cockatoo before I'll feel like it's finished. The red on its back is so intense in the photo and I want to capture that in the painting. Comment #7: Monday, November 12, 2018 at 11:35:05 I am curious about Wild Blues. Enjoy your books, and thanks for sharing. Comment #8: Tuesday, November 13, 2018 at 23:21:00 Pussreboots Wild Blues is a creative mixture of real events retold in a fictional form. It's beautiful and poetic. Comment #9: Monday, November 12, 2018 at 14:21:18 Kathy Martin That is what I was afraid would happen if I applied for the Cybils. I am already feeling overwhelmed with books. Come see my week here. Happy reading! Comment #10: Tuesday, November 13, 2018 at 23:22:00 Pussreboots This is my tenth year of participating, so I definitely knew what I was committing to. It's always a ton of work but it's always rewarding. Comment #11: Monday, November 12, 2018 at 21:11:35 Wow, you’re busy. Good luck with NaNo and Cybils! I’m a second round Cybils judge, so send me lots of good books. Have a great week! Comment #12: Tuesday, November 13, 2018 at 23:24:00 Pussreboots Have fun in January when it's your turn with the Cybils. Nano this year is going really smoothly. I'm writing just before bed and I'm about two days ahead of where I need to be. Comment #14: Tuesday, November 13, 2018 at 23:26:00 Pussreboots Thank you. I hope I do too.

Pussreboots
Thank you. A lot of the books were new to me too. But that's part of the fun of Cybils.
