Challenges...

While early on in this blog I mentioned a few challenges and noted that I had signed up for a few and totally bombed. So I'd made the decision not to take up challenges, as I just don't feel really well about myself when I fail to meet the challenges expectations. However I sorta like the idea of striving toward finishing a set challenge, or a list of books to be read. So, while I have pretty much made my decision not to sign up for any challenges publicly, I HAVE decided that I would like to make a few personal challenges just for myself. Just to give myself something to work towards. But since they will be personal challenges, I won't feel bad if I fail to post on a public forum or don't meet the requirements, because...well...it's personal. =) So, look on my sidebar if you want to see the challenges I have set out for myself. Feel free to take up any challenges with me that you see there, and make comments here at my blog to let me know you are doing the challenge with me, but there are no limitations, or rules. Just the rules I set out for myself. We'll see how I do with these. This will also give me a another reason to keep this blog updated as well.

I still have not finished #8 of Cedar Cove Series, but I am hoping to have it finished before I head off for work at 8 pm.

Happy New Year...to the 1 person who reads this blog! LOL!

Full Bloom

I just finished Full Bloom by Janet Evanovich, it's book #5 of the "Full" Series written by her and a co author, Charlotte Hughes. I'd give it a B. Right now I am trying to finish the 8th book in the Cedar Cove series by Debbie Macomber. I have less than 50 pages now so am thinking it will be the last one on my list of books read for 2008.

I am also in the middle of A Bend in the Road by Nicolas Sparks. It is really good, and a fast read. I'm pretty sure that once I finish The MacComber book and really settle into it I will have it finished by the end of the first week of next year!

I know I have totally sucked at this blogging thing this year, but I am really hopin got pick it up and be serious about it next year. I have just had alot of stuff going on,but still reading. I edited my sidebar to add all the books I have read this year, so you can see I am still crusing through books, but just not taken the time to sit and blog about them.

I don't own them yet, but hope to be able to read the "Full series" by Janet and Charlotte in 2009. Of course I have many, many other books that I already own that I should finish first...at this rate I will be getting back to the "Full Series" in about 2012...lol. We'll see.

I have seen at some other book blogs that there is a Pulitzer Prize reading challenge. I have that listed as books to be read. I believe there are 82 of them, and so that would take me awhile. There is no time limit on the challenge, so I could possibly do it. We shall see. SOOO many books to get through...
