100 books and counting

My daughters and I made a New Years Challenge. We are all going to read 100 books in a year or less. This started with my oldest daughter Mim who had set this goal for her a year ago, which isn't hard for her since she has been a big time reader since she was 7 years old. In fact I had to ground her from reading the summer after she finished second grade because she would just sit around the house reading while her friends would all come over and sit and patiently waiting for her to finished reading so they could all play (talk about devoted friends). Mim accomplished her goal last year. I decided to take her up on the challenge and invited her sister Sarah to do it also. We may include others in the family but we have to ask them first.

The rules are to read 100 books in a year. They have to be novel length but do not have to be novels. They can come from any genre or age group. The book has to be one you haven't read before and you can't repeat a book.

A little introduction of each of us.

When I would have night mares even at the age of 18 my Dad would "What Book are you reading?" Of course I would never tell him but some were horror and I would realize this and stop reading the book.

This blog sit is open to all. We want to encourage you to read and will also tell you about books we are currently reading or have read.
