I've been gone a while. I started reading fanfiction to escape and I got sucked in an abyss.

I have no idea if someone else is hosting similar challenges. I just grabbed some of what I have hosted before.

Here's to a happy year of great reading
Jan2023: Not much has changed. Writing a fanfiction now O_o as well as reading but I bought 7 new books in December and hope to get those read soon. Crossing fingers about adding challenges (late!)

Added to my Wishlist

As I was cleaning up some for my clutter challenge, I came across a few notes about books. All were found at christianbook.com


I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist
Norman L Geisler & Frank Turek

All worldviews-including atheism-require faith. But some belief systems are more reasonable than others! Geisler and Turek make the case that Christianity requires the least faith of all because so much evidence points toward the existence of God and the reliability of Scripture. an engaging, easy-to-follow defense for Christians and skeptics.

256 pages, softcover. Also four other formats










The Three Gifts of Christmas
Jennie Bishop

It's Christmas! But the king and queen have a problem-their precious daughter has become spoiled. So they decide that this year will be different. Their child will receive only three gifts. Will she share the treasures-or hoard them?

Ages 6-10. 32 pages, hardcover with audio CD

Monthly Mix-up Mania Reading Challenge

Idea from Jen at Jen's Book Talk Monthly Mixer Mele but she isn't hosting it this year and I had a great time trying to finish the challenge so.......



Welcome to the
What: To read a book for each letter in the year. That's right, a title for the J in January and the A in January, etc.... 74 books total!

Start date: April 1, 2011, because we're fools to try this

End date: March 31, 2013, yes, two years, because well, we have other challenges to do ;)

Guidelines:
  • only one letter per book
  • books can be moved around if it fits better somewhere else after you've read it
  • the letter doesn't have to be the first word, just the first letter of a word in the title (a, an, and, the do not count-except for something like "And Then You Die")
  • reviews aren't necessary but a quick "I read for letter... it was about... I did/not like it" comment would be nice.
  • if you decide to join in, create a post on your blog telling others then come back and link up (to the actual post, not just your blog's home page)
  • a blog is not necessary, just comment on that month's post at the Lair
  • if you get stuck, an author's name will do in a pinch but try to have more titles than names
  • the most important thing is to have fun!

    3-12-11: WAIT! this challenge now has it's own blog! Check it out
