What a gorgeous weekend it has been! Spring has finally arrived in NYC and I couldn't be happier to see the sun and warmer temperatures. This weekend is also Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon - I really wanted to participate but couldn't bear being inside all day yesterday so I headed out for a 6 mile walk with my headphones and audiobook. I stumbled on the Central Park Conservatory Garden - it always amazes me when I discover new things right in my backyard in the city. Here are some pictures of what I had to look at while I listened to The School of Essential Ingredients:

After coming home, I set to work on The Mystery of Mercy Close but I didn't make too much progress because I was flitting about on social media and checking on other readathon participants. Either way, I had a fun day! I was reading to support this cause and I raised $50 by reading the equivalent of 200+ pages (mostly via audiobook). My company will match this for a total of $100. Thanks to all the organizers of the readathon - another job well done!
Hope you all have a great week!

Way cool. I love the pictures. And I love that you listened as well as read. Now that is a way I could partake in a readathon. Some day.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for your review of The School of Essential Ingredients.
It was rainy and windy out here in the Northwest so it turned out to be perfect for the Readathon. But you're right...I flittered about on Twitter way too much, lol.
ReplyDeleteI have to check the Conservatory Garden, I have yet to do that. Nice job on the Readathon!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on raising money for a good cause!
ReplyDeleteCOngrats on raising money! Our weather was SO gorgeous this weekend!

I love that conservatory too. Congratulations on your readathon! How wonderful that your employer matched your fund raising. The downside of being self employed is there is no one to match me.
ReplyDeleteIt's finally spring in Maine with temps in the mid 60s. I read in a sunny chair by the open window. Bliss!
Oh my word, that is a simply gorgeous place! Beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteSaturday was a perfect day for a long walk here, too, The School of Essential Ingredients was wonderful on audio and I'm sure the gorgeous scenery made it even better. Congratulations on raising money for charity!
