The Must Reads - Checking In

          This is a quick post to share with those taking the #MustReadIn2014 challenge hosted by Carrie Gelson at There's A Book For That, and at Gathering Books: Check Off Your Reading Challenge.

            I have 26 books on the list (see the page above), have completed eleven of those, and am ready to start Every Day After by Laura Golden. Too many new (and good) books take the time away from these past books (also good), so we decided we needed to challenge ourselves to catch up as much as possible. Thanks to Carrie and Maria Selke (Maria's Melange) for the idea.

    Happy Summer Reading:

Let books be your dining table,

And you shall be full of delights
Let them be your mattress
And you shall sleep restful nights.

Books I Must Read In 2014

Carrie Gelson of There's A Book For That and Maria Selke of Maria's Melange have put together a hashtag for posting #MustReadin2014 those we keep saying we need to read, but STILL haven't done.  It's a type of goal setting, and we'll read more, but still need to cross these off the TBR list!  

           I've also joined a reading challenge hosted by Myra, Fats & Iphigene at Gathering Books.  Check this post for more info!
              And this latest one that gathers all that are signed up so far in both challenges!
