Spring Reading Thing, 2009

Winter's over and here comes Spring, and with it comes another reading challenge. 

Katrina at Callapidder Days is the host for this one.




To participate, here’s what you need to do:
  • Create a list of some books you’d like to read or finish this spring.
  • Feel free to set some additional reading goals (such as reading to your kids two hours per week, getting through your pile of magazines, etc.). This is completely optional.
  • Write a blog post including the list of books you want to read and any additional goals you’ve set, and get ready to post it on your blog on March 20th. 
  • Visit this blog on March 20th to sign up. I’ll have a Mr. Linky set up that morning, so you can submit a link to your personal Spring Reading Thing post, and it will be added to the master list.
  • Read! Work on your goals throughout Spring 2009.
  • Report your results. Write another blog post in June to let everyone know how you did.
  • Have fun! Visit other participants to see what they’re reading. Write reviews if you’re so inclined. But most of all, enjoy your spring reading! 
It's hard for me to create an advance list of what I plan to read. This is a starter list, and I will add to it as more books come into my home.

Looks like a great list! I've not heard of most of the titles though a few of the authors names are familiar.
