How Do Sudoku Puzzles Even Work?

As I mentioned previously, if you are an audible.com member and you listen to 3 audiobooks between now and March 3rd, you get a $20 amazon gift card. 

So far I have listened to two books.  I have a third partially listened to, but ah, I'm just not really in the mood for it.  It's a fantasy book, first-person male wizard or demon, I'm not quite sure because it's not grabbing my attention. I'm thinking I may use my last credit to buy a different book. I'd like to get a good thriller with lots of chapter cliff hangers.

And speaking of books and reading, my library is having a winter reading contest.  Woo Hoo!  I participated in the one over the summer and didn't win anything. The way it works is you get a ticket for each book read and you can put your raffle ticket toward various prizes (like gift cards).  Keep your fingers crossed that I win a gift card- Starbucks or Target would be great, but I am flexible and would be happy with any prize.

IS this contest an honor system contest?  Yes, yes it is.  I could definitely lie and get extra tickets, but I am not some sort of jerk that would lie about books read! So wish me luck, I have maybe time enough to read 1-2 books per week. Could I read more if stayed off twitter? You raise a very good point!

That being said audiobooks count so I can listen to a book this week and double-dip in these two reading challenges. 

Today I started this cozy mystery that I got as a Christmas gift. The main character has a Soduku column in the local papers so there are Sodoku puzzles in the book. I am trying to do one and it's not going well so far. 

Please keep in mind that this next statement is mostly facetious.  It's too bad I'm doing radiation right instead of chemo.  Sitting around during chemo gives a person plenty of time to read.  Silver lining right there. 

Happy Tuesday!
