Plus I learned early that it is very good for children to see you reading, cuz then they wanna read too. So you'll be reading...it will just be picture books for awhile! LOL<br /><br />I've decided to stop doing reviews so I have more time to read.Veggiemomof2https://www.blogger.com/profile/08499664148041543629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8136628.post-33154531514064797442011-11-29T18:57:27.011-06:002011-11-29T18:57:27.011-06:00Mari - For some reason I do well with the lists or...Mari - For some reason I do well with the lists or at least trying to read a certain type, etc. My favorite are those that get me out of my comfort zone yet are things I keep wanting to read..such as the war novels (which I really slacked on this year lol).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17182023445485838169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8136628.post-68294221830991112022011-11-28T09:19:26.312-06:002011-11-28T09:19:26.312-06:00Good for you for giving yourself permission to not...Good for you for giving yourself permission to not complete the challeneges. <br /><br />I signed up for several my first year blogging but quickly realized I don't like reading from a list, a must read type of thing. It began to feel like homework for me. Me personally that is.<br /><br />Challenges are a great way to belong to a community though, this is something I tend to miss out on so do try a few for 2012.<br /><br />Enjoy your reading!mpartykahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058880500554363163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8136628.post-39920205014357049442011-11-20T05:15:25.887-06:002011-11-20T05:15:25.887-06:00Julie - Thanks!

And as for next year, I recommend YA and kid lit -- I couldn't stand NOT reading when my daughter was born, but I couldn't concentrate on anything lengthy or serious. I read all sorts of books for kids, classics like Anne of Green Gables and The Secret Garden, and new to me books like the Gregor the Overlander series and the Penderwicks. Just let us know every now and then how you're doing!Karen Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16826935910848113399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8136628.post-27587296386741680832011-11-16T16:42:36.546-06:002011-11-16T16:42:36.546-06:00Book Dragon - So very true!

It took me seven years to have my first and once your child is here, what used to be important no longer is. Cherish the time.<br /><br />If you are determined to keep up with challenges, there is a picture book challenge that you might have fun with when you are thinking of adding a bookshelf to your nursery.<br /><br />Best Wishes to both of you.stepfordmomto2@yahoo.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18247229526727893129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8136628.post-70741684353424720872011-11-16T08:20:04.023-06:002011-11-16T08:20:04.023-06:00I've really bombed on challenges this year, to...I've really bombed on challenges this year, too, so I understand.
