It’s time once again for the Fall Into Reading challenge. It’s very simple – you create a list of books you would like to read over the course of the coming season and share it on your blog to challenge yourself to do some reading. I love this because ever since I became a mother my reading has gone downhill (for adult books that is; on the other hand I could recite most Dr. Seuss books from memory by now). I’m going to keep my list a reasonable length to keep myself from getting overwhelmed, and some of the books are going to be re-reads.
I’m sort of hoping that if I just get myself back into reading a few things that aren’t on my computer screen, then I’ll get back into the habit again. I used to be the girl who – literally – walked around with my nose in a book all day every day and I never would have dreamed of going to bed without a bit of reading first. Let’s see if I can get back there again.
This Fall I want to read the following:
- The Splendor of Silence (this is my current read)
- Why Moms Are Weird (re-read)
- The Red Tent (I’ve started but never finished it)
- The Time Traveler’s Wife (re-read)
- Five Days In Summer
If you go sign up for the challenge you can win a gift certificate from Amazon to then purchase some new reading material! Let me know if you’re participating too.
I almost bought “The Red Tent” recently. You just reminded me that I intend to get that book. 🙂
I am in. This is a great idea. I am so excited.
I read The Time Traveler’s wife a while back and found it very interesting. I was always the girl with my nose in a book too. Motherhood certainly has a way of re-ordering our days! I hope that Fall into Reading helps you get back to your love of books! Thanks for joining in.
I must admit I started Red Tent and never finished it. Will have to try to read that again! Enjoy the reading challenge!
I was giggling about being able to recite kids books from memory. Been there….Still know all the words to many books.;O0 I really liked The Red Tent. Happy Reading.
I need to update about it but I really think I’ll hit my goal of 50 books sometime this fall. I’m closing in on it and don’t seem to be slowing down in the reading area. 🙂
I keep seeing the Time traveler’s wife…might need to add that one on…
Happy Fall reading!
I’m in on this too! My books are listed on my blog. I really want to get back into reading.
I’m in too! Thanks for letting me know about this – you inspired me. 🙂
I haven’t heard of any of these. I’ll have to check into them.
Love your header, btw.
I’ve heard of some of those titles…especially “The Red Tent”…I’ll be watching for your reviews!!
