~Spring Reading Thing~

Filed Under (Uncategorized) by FaithfulGrace on 20-03-2009


I think this is my third year to participate in Callapidder Days Spring Reading challenge.  It is a simple way to inspire me to set goals and read the stack of books accumulating around me and in my book case.  It also encourages me to complete partially read books.  I plan to complete these spring reading goals by June 23rd, check back on that date for a follow up entry.  Also I have a book review blog where I am hosting a contest: FaithfulGraceReader.

    Oh, looks good! I forget that Dekker's new book was coming out this spring… That one may "mysteriously" find its way onto my list. :) Thanks for being part of Spring Reading Thing '09!
