I have thought about this but then decide that it isn't for me. I have so many times when life is crazy and I need a book that is an escape and one that fits my mood. I am ok in being disciplined in other areas of my life but, for myself, I want my reading to be unstructured and my escape. I do admire you doing this and maybe one day I will join you in this type of challenge (especially the last one!)Elle Is For Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10678832226814328887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3600559449923896597.post-21309952452807835842016-12-21T08:47:07.306-07:002016-12-21T08:47:07.306-07:00I am going to have to go back and look at your pic...I am going to have to go back and look at your picks that I didn't have to see if I should revisit them.

I can't wait ...Always Excited to see this post. I can't wait for my Magazine to Arrive. Elle, do you ever set Reading Challenges for yourself, not specifically a number of books? I have been mulling over the following and I think I have convinced myself to try...<br />1. Reading for Fun Challenge (Modern Mrs. Darcy blog)<br />2. Reading for Growth Challenge (same source)<br />3. Read 10 Books for Book Club (this is a gimme, haha)<br />4. Read 4 classics from the following list - all on my shelf for way too long<br /> Lonesome Dove<br /> Grapes of Wrath<br /> Gone with the Wind<br /> Rebecca<br /> Jane Eyre<br /> Wuthering Heights<br /> The Handmaid's Tale <br />5. Read 25 books from my own shelf (not the library)<br />I will allow one book to count on more than one challenge or I certainly would fail. I am trying this in an effort to Read my Own Books and branch out to books I probably would not choose on my own. I will definitely be reaching out for recommendations to fulfill some of the challenges on the MMD.<br />Jeana<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3600559449923896597.post-68159962084471929802016-12-20T04:49:47.595-07:002016-12-20T04:49:47.595-07:00We've got a lot of the same books!
