In my previous post I listed my goals for a Reading Challenge geared at helping you read some of those books that have been sitting in your To Be Read pile. In that challenge I have committed to reading 10 Books.
I also signed up for GoodReads 2012 Reading Challenge. Where I have set a goal to read 65 Books. This should not be to difficult. Besides the TBR Pile Challenge, I am also involved in 3 area book clubs & 1 online group. The first group I have been reading with since the Spring of 2004 and we average 8 books a year. My second group is a group of local mom’s and we have been reading together since the Summer of 2007 and we average 10 books a year. My third group is a neighborhood group started last year and we read 11 books. Finally, I also signed up last year with an online group to read War & Peace and we have decided to stay together and read more books together.
My Reading will move over many genre’s.....Best Sellers, Classics, Chick-Lit, Romance, Young-Adult, Mystery, Historical Fiction, & Non Fiction.
What books are currently up on my docket?....I am participating in two long-term reading projects. The 1st is East of Eden by John Steinbeck with my online group with a projected end date of May. The second book is Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell which I am reading with two friends from my Mom’s book club. We are going to break it down it to monthly readable chunks with a projected end date of September.
I am also currently reading The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis to my 8 year-old son and The Paris Wife by Paula McLain for my Neighborhood book club. Then I will move into The Swimming Pool by Holly LeCraw for my Mom’s book club.
Other books on my list for January & February are....
The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, & Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins (if I have time since I have already read them)
Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakauer
A Lady Never Surrenders by Sabrina Jeffries
The Capture of Glencrae by Stephanie Laurens
Stormchaser by Paul Stewart
So here is to reading and reaching my goals and hopefully exceeding them!!!
