I’m borrowing this from Liz, but I think it’s an awesome idea: I challenge any of you who are interested (along with myself) to read fifty books this year. If you have a blog, feel free to report either: 1) your progress or 2) your final list at the end of 2009.
Here’s my “starter” list. I’ll add to it as I go along, as well as include a link to this page on my blog for easy access to the ongoing results. Happy reading!

This sounds like such an awesome undertaking. There are so many great books to read, but how can you read so much, write, still take care of kids and find time to eat and sleep? I wish I could do it all!

Shari, well, I read while I’m on the treadmill at the Y. 🙂 Honestly. And any time I am sitting in a doctor’s office or experiencing idle time. Also, I go in phases. When I’m in a really intense writing phase, sometimes I don’t read as much. I don’t mean blog writing, but book writing. Some of my blog entries are very short. But, there’s no doubt about it, it’s not easy. I honestly don’t know if I’ll make the fifty, but I’m going to try. 🙂 If I don’t, that’s okay. It just means I have kids!

This is exactly the push I needed to get back to reading at night (instead of vegging on the couch in front of the tv)… Thanks, Roxane!
