Last one you are joining this year? It's only February! I say, no. You will join more. I recognize the fever, the list making, the over ambitious reading schedule.
Join the insanity.
Join the insanity is right! you and I each have 3 kids, we have no business joining multi-challenges! Yet here we are......maybe I should say I will not join any more challenges in February!!!
It's sort of cheating if one of the books on your reading challenge is one you know off by heart, isn't it? There are a couple you list that I wouldn't mind reading and perhaps I will. The difference is, that'll probably be my ENTIRE reading list for the whole year!
I'm with raidergirl3...AS IF this will be the last challenge you join. Ha ha ha!
Well, I haven't joined it yet, but I saw the Year of Reading Dangerously Challenge, and now I'm considering it.....
Patricia, while I know Persuasion by heart, I also love reading it every year or so! And it is historical!
