Today is Thursday THIRSTday: A beverage and a book.
This Graphic Novel—special ordered—is very cool. It’s impressive how Larson is able to take a classic book and capture it in this medium. I’m reading it along with a cup of black coffee in the original Nerdy mug.
I had an ARC of this, and when I abandoned my other book I saw Cole reading this. That was a great excuse to jump in. Great start so far. I’m hooked. And the chai tea is tasty.
In addition, here are a couple awesome #ReadWalkWater tweets from the past couple days:
I’m extra-excited to share today’s THIRSTday pic because it ties in with the post @MuellerHolly and I wrote for the Nerdy Book Club. Please go have a look. The post is titled: “#ReadWalkWater—How a Book Leads to Social Action” (Pssst—I just noticed that the NBC blog is followed by 2,085 people just on Facebook. Yikes.)
Now… the picture: a full Jerry can weighs around 40 pounds. How far could YOU carry it?

Happy July 4th, everyone. I hope you have a little time to read and drink on this special THIRSTday. I’m looking forward to my cup of coffee and starting one of these books (after a run in my new sneakers). Milk of Birds will tie in with A Long Walk to Water and I just received the digital ARC to Patrick Ness’s More Than This. I’m a little excited.
Now—how do we keep it from raining on fireworks tonight?
The day has flown by… But I’m still thirsty!
Coffee OUTside. Book OUTside. It is SPRING!
{Now–I need to make more time to READ.}
It FINALLY arrived. I didn’t squeal, but if I had been alone in the classroom when I received the email from the library that it was ready for pickup, I would surely have “WOOOO-HOOOOOed“.
Ready to curl up with this final installment of the GONE series.
OK–just kidding with that one. The end of NY English testing has us all a little punchy.
Here is the real THIRSTday pic:
And for good measure, here is how I’ve let the kids “deface my face” to raise money for the Ugandan Water Project.
A little pre-workout drink and read. Happy THIRSTday, y’all!
