Katrina's Spring Reading Thing starts today!!! Here are the rules:
Who: Anyone! Everyone! If you read, you can join Spring Reading Thing 2008.
What: Spring Reading Thing 2008 is a casual, low-pressure challenge. The point is simply to provide motivation to read, and to provide an opportunity to set some goals or structure for your personal (or family) reading. As a participant, all you'll have to do is make a list of books you'd like to read (or books you'd like to finish!) this spring. We'll share our goals with each other, and then share our experience and results when the challenge is over.
When: I bet you can guess: Spring 2008. The official dates are March 20th through June 19th.
Where: Here, and on blogs all over the blogosphere. I'll put up a Mr. Linky on March 20th where everyone can submit a link to their own Spring Reading Thing 2008 blog post. All I ask is that you share your goals and list of books in your post, and that you include a link back to the post here that contains the Mr. Linky.
Why: Because I love reading, and I know many of you do, too. Because I enjoyed meandering from book to book all winter, but am ready to set some goals and work through those "I've been meaning to read that" books on my shelf. Because I love to see what everyone else is reading. Because it's fun to read together. Because we can all use a little encouragement, motivation, and camaraderie in our reading adventures.
Here are my picks:
** 'Mater Biscuit--finished

Kim, this looks like fun. I'm always tempted to join in on Katrina's challenges because I absolutely love the cute buttons! However, I am notoriously BAD at finishing challenges, as I always get side tracked. Loved looking through the lists for all of yours:)
I think your list has mostly new to me books on it! I think I have read a couple of those kids books before and I did always enjoy them even as a grownup!
What a great list have fun reading this Spring!
I love a list of all new books to me! Can't wait to read your thoughts!
Just stopping by to thank you for joining the Spring Reading Thing! Most of the books on your list are new to me, but I do remember loving Island of the Blue Dolphins. Enjoy your reading!
Island of the Blue Dolphins was one of my absolute favorite books as a kid. I should probably get it out and read it again some time. Good choice!
Have fun reading this Spring!
Great list! Happy Reading to you. I remember reading Island of the Blue Dolphins as a child. I loved it!
