book worm

So in an earlier post I told you that my goal in 2008 was to read 1 book a week. Well, so far I am failing, BUT I have ready way more books than I usually would have. Have I met my goal so far? No. Have I pushed myself a lot? Yes.

So here’s what I’ve read so far in 2008:

The Starbucks Experience
In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Currently working on:
I Became a Christian and all I got was this lousy T-shirt
From Good to Great

In the Line Up:
Simple Church

8 weeks into the year and almost 6 books down. I’m not that far behind. I’ll play catch up when we take a vacation. Someday. (PS I kinda copied Travis with this post, but his reminded me that I should probably update you guys)

    well, i’m proud of you. I’ve read one book… since college. I’m not a recreational reader

    POST COPIER! POST COPIER!

    You’re not in bad shape at all. I couldn’t decide if we were at 8 weeks or 9 weeks.

    C’mon Tabitha . . . pick up a book

    I think you should count the Harry Potter books as two books each – due to length and intense subject matter :)

    Betsy – I totally agree! I almost said that, but I figured I’d already get enough crap for reading Harry Potter in the first place.

    Tabitha – Hey maybe it will turn into a new hobby! Next book you need to read is called “House”, frank peretti co-authored it.

    Travis – hey at least I gave you some link love.

    I didn’t know you could cut and paste from one blog to another.
    At least Travis’ stats went up.
    I copied Travis, too, but only in idea.
    I’m only shooting for 12 books a year, not 52.
    If kids books counted, my numbers would be about 300.

    *feeling hurt, offended, and needing to defend herself*

    not everyone has the desire to sit still and read a story printed in neatly bound hardback or paperback covers. So… touche Travis and a mad shout out to all the other non-readers out there

    *end soap box rant*
