52 Books in 52 Weeks


Found this at Amy's blog. My personal reading has been pushed to the back burner lately. This presents me with a great opportunity to make it a priority again.

Anyone care to join me?

And, more importantly, what are you reading? I need suggestions.

I started a thread a few days ago on the wtm board asking for 'delicious' novel ideas. It's been a little while since I've read fiction. There were lots of great suggestions on there.

Oooh, Laney! I like the new blog design.

I'm reading Outliers right now. Carrie insisted.

Jenn, can you link that thread? Here or on fb somewhere?

I'll join you, Laney!! I was just lamenting yesterday that my reading has dropped substantially this year and I'd like to pick it back up! (Just finished Outliers...again, Carrie insisted. It was very interesting.)

YaY!

Andie- I know, I love the new design, too. Jo-Lynne, she has the ad on my sidebar, helped me. She is so talented!

Jenn! Hey girl! Thanks for the link.

Mindy- i know you have been a *little* busy. :-D

Our spring break starts tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to doing some reading. I find it hard to do a lot of reading when we're doing school. Here's a link to my blog where I list some of the books I read over Christmas break. http://myfoilhat.blogspot.com/2010/01/whats-everyone-reading.html

That's the link for the button. It's on my photobucket - it's fine if you use that.

I just finished The Poisonwood Bible (about a decade after everyone else). It was excellent. Depressing and excellent. I'm about halfway through The Help now, and it's so. dang. good. Must read.

Also reading Blood of Brothers about Nicaragua in the 70's and 80's. Good stuff.

I have to agree - I really liked Outliers. It's reviewed on my blog. Really interesting.
