My own book challenge
The great majority of all the unread books on my shelves are nonfiction. They are mostly (but not all) big books that will take a long while to finish. Is this why I don't even begin? Why don't I reach for them more often when I'm choosing a book to read? Well, I'm going to change that. I don't want more years to go by without reading them. I'm giving myself the challenge to read one a month, starting today! You may see on the sidebar which one I've chosen.

That's a good idea - I may join you in choosing one of my long term unread books to read each month. I find non-fiction takes a lot longer to read than fiction, so good luck!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny but many of my unread books are fiction!
ReplyDeleteI guess it's because I feel like I'm making a huge time commitment with fiction and I can take a nonfiction book and pick it up or put it down at the end of each chapter.
Although, I have been known to get so involved in some fictions books that I've stayed up all night reading. :)
Nan I posted you sour cream cookies on my journal a moment ago.
ReplyDeleteDid not know to send it to you.
Since I did not see an email address.
Thank you.
Looks like you picked an interesting one. I would love to hear how you like it. I knew nothing about Miss Potter until the movie. Now I would be interested to learn more. My NF books sit on the shelf too.....This is a good challenge....
ReplyDeleteNan, that sounds like a wonderful idea! I have tons of books on my shelf, some large and small quick reads. I just keep getting more and more books from paperbackswap.com and I don't have enough time to read them all! I am happy with this dilemma though!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I need to do this, too. I have quite a few "chunksters" in my stacks that I tend to avoid.
