I am a little over halfway through the Fall Into Reading Challenge, and I thought it was time to step back and see how I was doing. The FIR challenge started on the official day of fall, September 22 , and ends on the last day of fall, December 21. I set the goal to read 9 books in that time. You can see those books and why I chose them here.
So how have I done?
I have completed 5 & 1/2 of them! The 1/2 is one that I could not get done before I had to return it for interlibrary loan, so I wont be finishing it.
Completed reads:
1. Julie & Julia
2. The Duggars: 20 and counting
3. Life Together
4. The Giver
5. Instructing a Child's Heart
6. Teach them diligently (1/2)
Read still waiting to be read:
1. Mere Christianity (just started on it)
2. The Journals of Jim Elliot
3. Babywise
I have really liked the accountability this challenge has given me. Though there is no one here keeping me on track, by committing on paper cyber-paper I have really felt nudged to finish what I started. It also has really helped me stay on track with reading the book I really wanted to read, instead of just starting lots of books that sound good but not finishing. So I have some work to do to finish on time, but I think I can do it!
Have you read anything lately? If not get to it people! If so, what was it? Was it good? Do share please!
look for an update from me in the next few days : )
