this weeks theme is resolution. I decided to put my challenge to myself to read more. I got a reader for Christmas and so far loving that and have books that need to be read all over the house. I use to read a lot when I was younger, then I had a kid and that seemed to be something that there was never enough time for. now that he is all grown up I have more time and am doing more.
I found a good site called goodreads.com that tracks the books I have read (you will see in my side bar the current book I am reading) and lets me add books I want to read. do reviews share with friends and lots of other stuff. (edited to add this is for e-books and regular paperbooks)
Another site for all of you that have got e-readers is pixeltoink I signed up for the daily newsletter and they email me a list of books that are available for free or really cheap. I have already started a good collection on my e - reader.
so what books are you reading???

I put Crazy Love and Families Where Grace is in Place on my reading list for the year. Over Christmas break I read like crazy just for fun. I'm almost done with The Girl With a Dragon Tattoo (started it on Friday and could finish today if I went and sat down with it) then its back to just school reading and my Bible, of course.
ReplyDeleteI love goodreads! I love your widget too...might have to get one of those! I'm currently reading The Poisonwood Bible and just recently finished Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea--both great books (especially for an expat in SK).
ReplyDeleteI used to read ALOT when I was young too (especially since we didn't watch tv during the week during the school year). I really haven't read as much anymore in my adulthood. Great resolution and photo.
ReplyDeleteI never thought i would use an e-reader until I got my iPad. Now that is mainly what I use it for! So convenient, and i always have my books with me.
ReplyDeleteother than my daily bread devotional and bible, I don't seem to have time for reading. I usually do my reading while on vacation, or when hubby is fishing, lol
