Read Your Own Books 2009: 11/18/08
Mizb17 of Should Be Reading is hosting the "Read Your Own Books Challenge" that runs from January 1 - December 31, 2009. I like this challenge because it fits perfectly with my own goals. The idea is to make time for your own reading. In my case, I plan to read 100 books that are sitting on my shelves. These aren't books I've been asked to review. They aren't my children's books or my husband's books. These are ones that I have gotten to read for my own enjoyment and haven't had the time to read.
Keep track with me as I complete my list. Click on a title to read the review.
