Spring Reading Thing


Katrina over at Callapidder Days has challenged us with her Spring Reading Thing. You might be wondering . . .


Who: The Spring Reading Thing is open to anyone and everyone!


What: The Spring Reading Thing provides an opportunity for all of us to set goals when it comes to our personal (or family) reading. Everyone who wants to join the challenge will make a list of books they'd like to read (or books they need to finally finish!) this spring. We'll share our goals with each other, and then share our experience and results when the challenge is over.


When: March 21 through June 21, 2007. (Although, it may take me longer to read all of these, but I will read them!)



So here are the books that I would like to have read (no particular order, but I'll probably read all of the fiction first):


1. Overcoming Overload by Steve Farrar

2. Papa's Wife and Papa's Daughter by Thyra Ferre Bjorn

3. These High, Green Hills by Jan Karon

4. Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult

5. Facing Your Giants . . . by Max Lucado

6. Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World by Joanna Weaver

7. The Quilter's Apprentice by Jennifer Chiaverini

8. Before I Wake by Dee Henderson

9. The Jane Austn Book Club By Karen Joy Fowler

10. Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers

Looks like a great list, Heather! I always have to read fiction along with my non-fiction or else I abandon the non-fiction altogether. :) Thanks for being part of the Spring Reading Thing. Enjoy!

You have listed some of my most favorite ever books! I can't wait for you to read them! Papa's Wife and Papa's Daughter, I read in high school- they are wonderful and they are true stories!
Jan Karon's Mitford Series is amazing. And Redeeming Love - it just doesn't get any better! You are going to have a great spring!
