Ever since I can remember I have loved to read. My grandmother used to read to me all the time which is probably why I have this love of reading. When I read its like a movie plays in my head especially when its a good book that I can really get into. The first time I remember it happening I was reading Curious George and the pictures were in my head and became a movie. I participated in a challenge last year through Goodreads and am again this year through them. After reading several blogs and the challenges that their bloggers are participating in I decided that I would follow suit. Take a look at the challenges below and if so inclined participate in one or more.
The Reading Challenge Addict challenge is for those of us who participate in one or more reading challenges.
2013 Goodreads Reading Challenge is a challenge where you set your own goal. You update what you are reading on the Goodreads website and your progress is tracked.
Do you have a reading goal? If so join in on a challenge or two.
I read to my son and my magazine, but I am not a book reader – so no goals there.
My husband and two of my three kids aren’t book readers either. They think I’m insane they way I go through books. I’m always reading something, books, magazines, blogs, you name it I’ll read it.
I read like crazy I think I have at least a 1000 books on my Kindle. I usually read 1 to 2 books a week.
I know what you mean, my kindle has about 400 books but my bookshelves at home…well lets just say I need more shelves and space. I’m one to go back and reread a book 3, 4, or 100 times. Yes I really do have a book that I’m sure I have read 100 times.
I read like crazy. Do you know any challenges that count reading ebooks?
Most of my books now are on ereaders. Take a look at the Goodreads.com site and see if the ebooks you are reading are on there. If not try contacting the author and have them sign up and list their ebooks.
This is awesome! I haven’t heard of anything like this before, but it sounds like a really cool thing to start!
I will be posting my Goodreads tracker up soon, which will keep me on track with my reading, I wouldn’t want anyone to see that I didn’t meet my goal. Too bad reading blogs don’t count LOL
This is an awesome idea! I am also so much into reading and now own a Kobo. And that is the best thing that has ever happened to me! Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting. Will stay connected!
I love my ereader. I carry over 400 books with me everywhere I go. Thanks for visiting.
I LOVE to read! These days I don’t have quite as much time for it as I’d like, though. I owe my love of books to my mom, who read to me and with me nearly every night growing up. I was also homeschooled and books were a big part of our education. I think the library staff knew us by name

Growing up the librarians knew me too. I also did a lot of activities at the local library because they programs were free and my mom being single couldn’t afford much, not that I complained I loved the library. It was part of my life. Thanks for stopping by.
I love this! I really enjoy reading but trying to fit into my crazy schedule is tough. This year I promised to try for a book a month. No stress just enjoyment. My kiddo is loving to be a reader too. I think I will be joining the challenge for 2013. ~Sharon
