I love to read, but you already know that. I keep seeing various reading challenges, but at the beginning of the year I was already stressed out with enough and wasn't going to add to it. I read regardless of what challenge someone puts before me. I saw the Spring Reading Thing 2011 at Katrina's blog, Callapidder Days though and it caught my eye. There's no crazy count that I'd never meet, just simply list out the books you hope/plan to read from March 20 - June 20 and link up. That's simple enough.
Here's my list...
A Rose From the Dead (A Flower Shop Mystery) by Kate Collins - finishing this one up
Shoots to Kill (A Flower Shop Mystery) by Kate Collins
Evil in Carnations (A Flower Shop Mystery) by Kate Collins
Sleeping with Anemone (A Flower Shop Mystery) by Kate Collins
Dirty Rotten Tendrils (A Flower Shop Mystery) by Kate Collins
Night of the Living Dandelion (A Flower Shop Mystery) by Kate Collins (not yet published, but it will be)
A Crafty Killing (Victoria Square Mystery) by Lorraine Bartlett
Sentanced to Death (Booktown Mystery) by Lorna Barrett (not yet published, but it will be)
Murder on the Mind by L.L. Bartlett
Murder on the Mind by L.L. Bartlett
A Killer Plot (A Books by the Bay Mystery) by Ellery Adams
A Deadly Cliche (A Books by the Bay Mystery) by Ellery Adams
Buttercream Bump Off (A Cupcake Bakery Mystery) by Jenn McKinlay
A Proper Pursuit by Lynn Austin
Deceived by James Scott Bell
Doesn't She Look Natural? by Angela Hunt
The Mailbox by Marybeth Whalen
Fame (Firstborn series) by Karen Kingsbury
Forgiven (Firstborn series) by Karen Kingsbury
Found (Firstborn series) by Karen Kingsbury
Family (Firstborn series) by Karen Kingsbury
Forever (Firstborn series) by Karen Kingsbury
That should be a good start. I tend to get sidetracked, so we'll see how I do. Once summer gets here and the girls leave for my parent's house, I have much more time to read so maybe I'll get to add to my list. As it stands now, I average one book a week, sometimes two.
I'm looking forward to seeing what others are reading as well, maybe I'll find new authors to add to my never ending must read pile shelves!
Oh, I hope you enjoy the Kingsbury series, I really liked it! And Angela Hunt is another of my favorite writers.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
Oh I've been wanting to get to that Karen Kingsbury series too. And like Trish Angela Hunt is also one of my favorites. Happy spring reading.
ReplyDeleteLooks like plenty to keep you busy this spring! The only book from your list that I've read is The Mailbox, but I think I'm going to have to go check out some of those murder mysteries (one of my favorite genres!). Thanks for being part of the challenge!
