Spring Reading Thing 2010
FINISHED!!!!!
I started these twice-yearly challenges because I thought it would be fun to share my love of reading with other bloggers and to push myself to read some books I might not otherwise read, or to finish some books I had started and then abandoned & stashed under my bed. I thought there were probably others out there who would appreciate the accountability and encouragement that a challenge can provide. And along the way, I discovered there were lots of people who — whether they needed the extra push or not — loved to share what they planned or hoped to read during the upcoming months.So without further adieu is here is my list for the challenge! . Note: These are all my library books, which means these MUST be read by the end of the challenge or face the wrath of fines! I haven't listed books I own because I don't know if I'll get around to them, but they might pop up at the end of the challenge on my list.So that’s the point of the Spring Reading Thing: sharing some reading goals with all the other participants and doing it in a way that works for you. If you want to push yourself, go for it! Or if you just want to share what you’re hoping to get around to reading before June, that works too. The most important thing is to read this spring, to enjoy it, and to share that enjoyment with others.

That's quite a list! That will be neat to read all the Nancy Drews in order. I enjoyed Meg Cabot's Princess Diaries series, have you looked into those? Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteOh, I am pretty sure I won't get through all the Nancy Drews, but if I manage to read a bunch of them this year, I'll be happy.
ReplyDeleteAs always, your list inspires me to add to my own "library list." While My Pretty One Knits looks good, and I'm always up for a good cozy.
Thanks for being part of the challege!
I see quite a few Sara Shepard's books on your YA list. I have not read her and will have to check them out. Trying to figure out what happened to my Nancy Drew books.
ReplyDeleteGood luck, that is a lot of books :) I'm lucky if I get through one a month, so I've kept my list short :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a huge list. Looks like a lot of fun for this Spring :-)
ReplyDeleteWhere Grace Abides is a good book. I am anxious to read the next book in this series. While My Pretty One Knits looks good, I added it to my books I want to read list.
ReplyDeleteI love Nancy Drew! I want to read all her books in order, too! My 13-year old sister has #1 and #2. That's a start, I guess. I've probably only read about 12 Nancy Drew books in my lifetime.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Spring reading! :-)
Your reading lists always blow me away! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to dive into some Meg Cabot & haven't done it yet. Maybe I will for this year.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading this spring!
I loved the Nancy Drew books when I was younger. I told my husband and he said he used to read The Hardy Boys too. Now I think I might reread them just for fun.
ReplyDeleteWow! You rock and enjoy reading all your books.
ReplyDeleteI've never read a Nancy Drew book maybe I will pick one up. I love a good mystery. How Dolly Parton saved my life sounds interesting. Great list of books.
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading!
While My Pretty One Knits is a fun story. I read it in January. I think you will enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI am also on track with Nancy Drew. I am not reading them in order, but am keeping track of what I have read. I am also signed up for the Cozy Mystery challenge. I can't wait to start.
If you like Christian fiction, please check out www.shereads.org. We profile a great selection every month! I think you would like the books-- they're well done and worth the read!
ReplyDeleteDeborah, you always have such a comprehensive list! I'll be interested to hear about the Dolly Parton book! hahahaha (or maybe not ha?)
