The Big Game's On -- 1:43 p.m. -- Mini-challenge #1

Well, we all had oatmeal with walnuts and craisins for breakfast and then the three children started some intensely imaginative play.  I moved with my book from room to room, staying close enough to hear them.  Sadly, The Language Instinct is not an easy book to read with lots of background noise! I'm on page 237/448.

After a giant uproar over possession of the ladybug pillow -- and some first aid on a cut calf -- Fiona and I came back down to the basement for a while.  She did some drawing and cutting while I read Toto's Tale aloud.  We are on page 153/230.

Now Lilly is asleep upstairs and Fiona has gone with Tim, Amy, and Mark to Costco.  So I'm alone in the house and will do Jenn's first mini-challenge before returning to more of The Language Instinct.

Jenn asks:  For this challenge, take a look at the books you plan on reading today.  Which do you predict will come out as the winner and why?  Do a post to answer this question.

I wasn't totally sure how to interpret "winner" but I decided it's whatever book I spend the most time with today. I'm guessing that it'll be a toss-up between The Language Instinct  and Toto's Tale -- depending on how much Fiona wants to be read to when she gets back from Costco.  We'll see. :)
