Reading Blitz! 9/1/14 - 9/1/15

A few years ago I came across this book "Tolstoy and the Purple Chair" and it inspired me to take on a 365 day reading challenge reading one book/novel a day for a year. Needless to say that I fell enormously short of that goal (60 books read) it STILL was a larger number of books than I had previously read in a year than any other time in my life. In short, it wasn't the number of books that I read, but the renewed love and passion for reading, public libraries, and your standard used book store! I found myself reconnecting to an art that passes generations. Since that time I had established this blog (that I let linger a little too long in digital land...collecting cyber-dust) and have renewed it for another year long adventure in reading! My challenge to you, as a fellow reader, is to join me through this journey 9/1/14 - 9/1/15 and document, journal or blog your reading blitz! I have several books that I will be blogging in the next few days that I already have recently read to jump start the blitz. BUT....even more exciting is that my two boys (ages 9 and 11) have accepted the challenge and will be adding their list to my blog as we venture down this reading blitz together! I hope you join us! Ready set Read!
