Spring Reading Thing 2009

srtmedium

Woo Hoo!  Just another reason to love spring…the Spring Reading Thing challenge at callapidderdays.  I really need this kick in the behind challenge, too, because I haven’t read a (new or different) book in over a month!  GASP!  I have been re-reading again, something I love, but something that will not help me with my 50 book reading challenge at Shelfari lol.  I hope you will join in, it’s lots of fun, you “meet” lots of fellow book buffs and get lots of ideas for future reading.  How many times can I use lots in one sentence?  Too many. :)  Oh, and there are giveaways and all that good stuff, too.  Enough chatter…here is my challenge list!

100_9433 These are books that I have bought or borrowed and have put off for too long.

Amy Knapp’s Family Organizing Handbook

Get Your Act Together

Absolutely Organized (I see some kind of trend here…)

The Devil In The Junior League

Miss Read Over the Gate

Miss Read Village Diary

The Reader

The Friday Night Knitting Club

I hope to have reviews on these as I finish them.  I look forward to seeing everyone’s list for this spring. :)  Happy Reading!!

  1. I'll be interested in what you think of The Reader. The book is almost always better than the movie! Happy reading!

  11. Love your list! I thought Get Your Act Together by Pam Young and Peggy Jones was great. I have loved all of their books. Another great book on organizing/getting rid of stuff is It's All Too Much by Peter Walsh. Good luck, with both your reading and getting organized goals!

  14. I have only read Secret Life of Bees, and loved it but hopefully we will like Friday Night Knitting Club. Best of luck on your organizing! I should probably have some of those on my list too!
