I don't see the point in participating if I'm not going to make an honest stab at learning something, though! It was a really fun experience...I just don't want to do it again immediately. Need a break. :)<br /><br />As you probably guessed, I had to spend about two weeks really focusing to get those books read in time (and finally burnt out on the last one). But I do love focused theme reads. It adds a little flavor to my library. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01974988315420539840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5863301599557441497.post-5912879279931441282012-10-03T12:25:51.853-05:002012-10-03T12:25:51.853-05:00Very impressive, how you read and reviewed so many...Very impressive, how you read and reviewed so many books for Aarti's Diverse Universe blog tour :) I need to backtrack a little and read them. <br /><br />I actually checked out Coursera after you posted about it earlier, it's an admirable endeavor, but it probably takes a lot of dedication and work? <br /><br />I hope you'll have more satisfying reads to look forward to in October!Chinoiserieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16676489630557961558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5863301599557441497.post-14452013139010475212012-09-30T19:45:34.728-05:002012-09-30T19:45:34.728-05:00Thanks for stopping by Laurel-Rain Snow!

I get a lot of satisfaction out of dedicating myself to theme reads like this. :) One book just doesn't seem to thoroughly represent such a theme as diversity. I found the book tour a lot of fun, even though I struggled a little at the end to finish my books. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01974988315420539840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5863301599557441497.post-77619833745300571632012-09-30T06:57:52.663-05:002012-09-30T06:57:52.663-05:00I like your reviews!
