March to Madness: A View from the Floor in the Atlantic Coast Conference

A March to Madness: The View from the Floor in the Atlantic Coast Conference | John Feinstein

It struck me as a little amusing when CBS started using a song by Muse as part of the music background for March #Madness but hey why not. 😎

Alas, my school didn‘t advance, but I‘ve attended the conference tournament a couple times and had a good time. 🏀

Fun fact! One of my college classmates was selected in the NBA draft. However, he mostly rode the bench and gave up after one year to become a geologist. 🪨

March #bookspin list! Basing this month on the books I got at the library book sale. Determined to actually read the books I bought before looking for more! 😊 I have already finished one, so swapped in another from the same author.

I plan to join in on the #MarchMadness readathon, but since I'll be in the Philippines for 10 days, I'll keep my goals simple. I plan to take books with me of course, it's a 20+ hour flight after all, but once I get there I don't know how much reading I'll get done between sightseeing and eating. I will try to finish 5 books and read over 60 hours.
Good luck to everyone joining in.

Lizpixie The Phillipines sounds fun! I‘ve always wanted to do the whole South East Asia tour. It‘ll be extremely hot so pack lots of cotton👍 2y

Bookwomble Sounds like an exciting trip 😊 2y

Andrew65 Great to have you with us, good luck 😁 2y

Zoes_Human I was wearing a tennis skirt and a t-shirt COMFORTABLY all day yesterday. 72 in February in WNC makes me nervous. If I disappear this summer, it's probably because of spontaneous combustion. 2y

BarkingMadRead I made mine before I left for Disney but I didn‘t take a pic 🤣 can‘t wait! 2y

SpookyMazeOfBooks Can't wait , to see what books I get because I feel like I'm out of that reading slump. 2y

Sarahreadstoomuch Our weather in New England has been all over the place! 60s a couple days ago, snow, sleet and ice storm today! 2y

Nessavamusic This weather is wild, but it didn‘t shut us down. 2y

Julsmarshall Yay! Love Bookspin list time! Our texas weather is all over too-low 50s on Monday, was 80 yesterday 🤪 (edited) 2y

Bookwormjillk Warm here too. I‘m bracing for a March blizzard. I was working on my list this morning. I‘ll post a pic soon. 2y

Librarybelle I‘ve been thinking about March…hopefully I can pull it together this weekend! 2y

Cinfhen Ohhhhh, I almost forgot 😅 thanks for the March reminder 😘😘 (edited) 2y

Eggs Working on the list!! Texas- -ice one week, 80 the next 🤪 2y

Ash.on.the.line This month I‘ve read so many library and netgalley books so my March list will mostly be the same as February 😅😆 2y

SheReadsAndWrites I can't believe it's almost March! We have a frosting of snow this morning in Idaho. It looks like the yard was sprinkled with powdered sugar. 🤭❄️ I love winter. 💙 2y

bookandbedandtea Oh gosh, I haven't even thought about my March list yet! 😳 Guess I'll get on that. 😁 2y

BarbaraJean I‘m gearing up for a rainy weekend here in Southern California—oh no, guess I‘ll have to stay in and read 😂 I‘m putting final touches on my March list; I‘ve been trying to fit in too many different reading goals/challenges! (edited) 2y

Clwojick I‘m ready to rock! 2y

BookishMadHatter I started working on my list this week and will (hopefully) get my kids to assign numbers to the books this weekend. 2y

MemoirsForMe Yikes! Still trying to finish at least one book on my list. 😄 2y

I set my #20in4 goals low and still didn‘t meet them all! I did finish Rage Becomes Her and The Other Bennet Sister, my main goals. I caught up on This Life but not 1619. I started Gods in Everyman. Overall decent reading for a really busy weekend. Thanks @Andrew65 for hosting!
