Support Your Local Library Reading Challenge

I am really into these Blogging Reading Challenges. So far, I’ve entered more challenges than what I’ve read books in 2009. Let me see, so far, four challenges and, well, … one boook. Hey, quit smirking.

I use the Tulsa City County Library a lot so I wanted a challenge for public libraries and I found one on the Oklahoma Book Lady blog. It is sponsored by J. Kaye’s Book Blog and you can read all the rules and enter the challenge by clicking on the graphic above.

There are three levels of participation: 12, 25, or 50 books. They all have to be checked out from a library and they all have to be begun and finished in 2009.

I’m going for the 12 book level. I picked up my first book on Tuesday.

Here are my 12 books.

1. “Roads to Quoz” by William Least Heat-Moon – 1/20/2009
2. “Scarpetta” by Patricia Cornwell – 2/20/2009
3. “Runner” by Thomas Perry, due January 2009
4. “Murder in the Latin Quarter” by Cara Black, finished 5/2/2009.
5.”The Associate” by John Grisham , finished in April 2009.
6. “The Monster in the Box” by Ruth Rendell, finished November 2009.

    I just picked up my first book for the library challenge. Luckily its a fairly short book. I am doing horrible this year on reading. 10 days into the year and I have only finished one book.

    I’d be proud to be reading one book every 10 days. The first one I got from the library is 535 pages.
    I’m trying to keep my goals kind of modest.

    Before blogging and facebook I was reading a book about every two to three days. Now I’m lucky if I finish what I’m reading in 20-30 days! LOL! But, I’m ALWAYS reading a book. Well, I mean I always have a book I’m reading.

    Right now I’m reading Honeymoon by James Patterson. It’s about a woman who keeps killing all the men in her life. Good stuff! LOL! It’s definitely a mystery book.

    I’ve read that book too – Dawn!
    Most of my books do NOT come from the library. I have a huge stack of “gonna reads.”
    Currently still finishing 1000 Splended Suns. Reading my daily bible selections (for bible in a year) will slow me down significantly this year.
