14 out of 50 isn't too bad. My ten year old is laughing at this. She's read nearly 30 books this summer. I'm constantly reminding her she doesn't have to do things like laundry and drive. My children will be gone for the next ten days which should give me lots of extra reading time. Just kidding. That extra reading time is going to be spent touring wineries and catching up with my friends who have finally returned from their year serving overseas in Kuwait.

Personal Summer Challenge

Reblogged from Sorry kids, no feet. :

 I am not going to be participating in this round of Booklikes-opoly. Instead I'm going to be participating in a summer challenge with a historical fiction group I moderate for. The goal is to read 50 books over the course of the summer. We create our lists and lock them on June 1st. The goal is to read all 50 books on the list and earn points. There are opportunities to change things around twice during the summer. If you'd like more information or to participate, I'll post a link in the comments. Be warned, it is a Goodreads group. I promise, we aren't overly "Goodreads-ish".

 

This post is going to serve as my tracking post.
