I’m going to participate in Callapidder Day’s Fall Into Reading 2009 Challenge. Since getting a computer I’ve found myself not reading as much because it seems I never seem to have the time. I know I’m missing out on some really good books out there so the plan is to make time for reading.
I’ve chosen some fiction and some non-fiction books, two bible study books and some read-alouds to read to M., age 2yrs 4mo. Some will be for my own personal reading and some will be for book reviews for Thomas Nelson Publishers.

ReplyDeleteI joined in Katrina's first challenge 3 years ago for the exact same reason as you. I wasn't reading as much as I wanted to at all. I couldn't believe that months could go by without me reading a book!
Three years later -- I'm running at book blog 5 Minutes for Books
Be sure you have time to read before you begin The Hunger Games and Catching Fire as you will not want to put them down. I just finished Catching Fire, loved it!
ReplyDeleteI read Made From Scratch and follow her blog.. I think you will enjoy that...also have read Left Behind up to 9 or so, but waiting I lost my momentum. Hubby read all the way through.
ReplyDeleteAlso not listed, but I sort of quit reading to my youngest as we all were busy, so I'm reading Gone Away Lake, which I read with one of the other 3 and enjoyed.
I came across the Fall Into Reading link party today and decided to take a look.
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for some book suggestions to add to my autumn book reading list.
