Reading Challenge: 312 days left 101 books to read <3
Ive been inspired by the film and blog Julie and Julia. I love how Julie has the ambision to transform herself into a better human being by cooking her way through Julia Child's cook book. She loved food, and both of them were saved by it. I have the same goal. But im gonna make it a little different.
There is exactly 312 days left till 2012 starting today. The goal : To read 101 books by the end of this year, and to feel happiness and joy through out the project <3 The contender, flowerpower. Working highschool student by day, bookworm by night, Lets see how far i go ;) Im probably gonna try to read 10 books per month. Since its Febreary, im currently reading a book now, its called The Power of Giving, by Azim Jamal, a lovely book it is indeed, ill write about the books ive read everytime i finished them and can perhaps learn from them. Who knows? Ill be reading many different genres from fiction, to non fiction, to paranormal, t mystery to horror. If you's have any book recommendations, let me know , and fill me up on the books u all are reading. It might give me ideas <3 Well, here i go! Book one currently reading, 100 more books to go <3

I LOVE this challenge and I am following your lead. I have so many great books here in my 'library' (aka 'all over the place'), and I need to be more disciplined about reading them, enjoying them, learning from them and sharing them. I'll be happy to send you some of mine after I read them. Just let me know when you're starting to run out.
If you aren't a member already, may I suggest you join bookmooch.com? You can post all the books you've read and are willing to ship to others who request them. You build up points and can mooch books you want to read from others. All you're paying is the shipping to mail your books out.
Thanks for the challenge and motivation! I'm reading along with you and will post updates, as well.
What I'm reading now: Pinheads and Patriots by Bill O'Reilly

what a great goal you have challenged yourself to! i need to get more disciplined about reading myself - i currently have 23 books stacked up waiting for me to read.
i highly recommend "Little Bee" by Chris Cleave and "Into the Beautiful North" by Luis Alberto Urrea. they are both fictional but they address real current issues in a way that is thought provoking as well as highly readable. i look forward to reading about the books you choose in the days and months to come. Hugs, Dawn
